Mare Pregnancy test
Wee-Foal-Checker
This mare pregnancy test will save you hundreds of dollars on vet fees and gives you the peice of mind of knowing if your mare is or is not in foal.
Very affordable and so easy to use.
Wee Foal Checker is a non-invasive, accurate and rapid test for diagnosing and monitoring pregnancy in your mare from 120 days after mating through to 300 days.
No blood sample required and you do not have to wait for days to get results back from a Vet or Lab.
This mare pregnancy test can be used on any breed of Horse, Donkey or even Zebra It is particularly appropriate for small horses where palpation per rectum or internal ultrasound scanning is risky or is not an option.
This mare pregnancy test works by reading pregnancy steroid levels in your mares urine, don't panic you won't believe how easy it is to get a urine sample from your mare. (click here for urine collection hints)
Wee-Foal-Checker analyses a few drops of your mare's urine for the presence of a pregnancy associated estrogenic steroid metabolite. This steroid is made by the foetal-placental unit in increasing amounts as pregnancy progresses. It is excreted into urine where it can be easily measured, and so provides a non-invasive means of diagnosing pregnancy status and monitoring foetal viability.
The Wee-Foal-Checker is easy to use, and involves just 2 simple steps. Firstly, dilute a few drops of your mare's urine with the diluting solution provided. Secondly, add a few drops of the diluted urine to the test membrane enclosed in a plastic cassette. Wait 5 to 10 minutes. If a single red line forms on the test membrane, this indicates that your mare is pregnant. If 2 red lines form, this indicates that your mare is not pregnant.
This mare pregnancy test does not suffer the problem of 'false positive' diagnoses, often seen with other biochemical pregnancy tests, where mares that have lost their foal are still diagnosed as pregnant. In the event of foetal loss, production of the estrogenic steroid decreases rapidly to non-pregnant levels, thereby resulting in a 'not pregnant' diagnosis with Wee-Foal-Checker.
Specificity: 98% (probability of a negative result for non-pregnant mares, 389 mares tested). Sensitivity: 97.1% (probability of a positive result for mares 120 or more days pregnant, 312 mares tested).
Wee Foal Checker provides peace of mind. Now it is easy to monitor the pregnancy status of your mare from 110 days after breeding right through to just before the expected time of foaling. Indeed, it is prudent that your mare be re-tested 5 to 7 months after first being diagnosed pregnant so that pregnancy status can be verified, and your mare managed accordingly.
Wee-Foal-Checker has a shelf life of approximatly 12 months and should be stored in a fridge. Remove from the fridge a couple of hours before using the test.
The test is best performed at room temperature.
