WeeFoal™
Is an exciting new product developed for those involved
the field of equine reproduction.
WeeFoal™ offers an easy, rapid test for predicting the
presence of a foal within a gestational time frame.
TIME FRAME- 120 days after breeding through to day 300
of gestation.
WeeFoal™ urine test can be used to predict and monitor
pregnancy status in all breeds of horses, donkeys and
zebra, where palpation per rectum or internal
ultrasound scanning is not an option, as in the
miniature horse or smaller mares.
WeeFoal™ uses lateral flow technology to analyze a small
sample of maternal urine for the presence of pregnancy
specific steroids secreted by the developing
fetal-placental unit, and thereby aid the diagnosis of
pregnancy status. Unlike other tests currently in the
marketplace, in the event of foetal loss, production of
the steroid decreases rapidly to non-pregnant levels
NON-INVASIVE - ACCURATE - AFFORDABLE
WeeFoal™ was developed by the Reproductive Technologies
Group.
The goal of Equine Diagnostics, LLC is to continue to
create "easy to use" diagnostic tests and become a
leader in the distribution of Equine Gestation products
for the Veterinarian, Breeder and to the Equine trade.
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).
