Doppler Preg-tector pregnancy detector

Characteristics Preg-tector:

    It uses the Doppler principle and is very easy to use.

    It is not possible to obtain a false positives with this tester, which can be caused by a full bladder or an inflamed uterus, as can occur when using an amniotic fluid tester.

    Using the external probe, pregnancy can be detected in sow as early as 25 days after insemination.

A Doppler with external probe, such as the Preg-tector can be used on sheep and goats from as early as 50 days after mating. (In most species, a rule of thumb would be after the first of the period of gestation)
However, in sheep and goats, while this is usually possible, from a practical point of view, it is much easier from 70 -80 days on wards, that is, from the mid-point onwards
It is also possible to detect multiple foetuses in ewes and goats in the period of 80-100 days pregnancy
It is possible to use the pregnancy detector throughout the pregnancy term and even during farrowing
The Doppler Preg-tector pregnancy detector is supplied in a carrying case complete with instruction CD and instruction manual

Operation:

The probe contains both transmitting and receiving elements and projects a narrow beam of low energy ultrasound by way of a coupling medium in the abdomen of the animal. The beam is reflected by the uterine artery, the umbilical vessels or the foetal heart and converted into the readily recognised sounds of a confirmed pregnancy. The high quality headset is connected to an external probe which allows the user to hear the blood-flow clearly whilst shielding him from the noises of the farm.
