Cattle pregnancy test began as test for deer, elk
The founder of BioTracking, the maker of BioPRYN, an early pregnancy test for cattle, first went into business with a product to detect pregnancy in wildlife. As the technology improved, business moved to pregnancy tests for beef and dairy cattle. Two CCs of an animal’s blood is analyzed for a protein indicating pregnancy. “This protein is very unique in the fact that it is only produced by the placenta,” said Jeremy Howard, director of sales and marketing for BioTracking LLC. It allows the detection of pregnancy at an early point.
