Kamar Heat Detectors

Effective cattle breeding programs include heat detection

The only Heat Detection aid with a built in timing chamber which eliminates false heats.
Proven over 25 years.
Better pregnancy rates.
Todays high producing cows do not stand as much and often in the dark.
Kamar heat detectors do the work for you. You can safely sleep at night!
Perfect for synchronized breeding programs where large groups of cows are being set up for breeding at the same time.
The Kamar Heatmount Detector is applied just behind the hips of the cow. When a cow wearing a detector is mounted by a herd mate, pressure from the brisket of the mounting animal turns the detector red. This leaves a visible indication that the cow stood to be ridden and therefore may be in heat and ready to inseminate. Other signs of heat should always be observed to confirm that a red detector resulted from standing heat. Kamars exclusive built in timing mechanism is designed to distinguish false mounts from true standing mounts.
Products available:
Glue On type detectors in box's of 25 and 100
125ml Tubes of Glue and 300ml Glue Cartridge

Estrotect (Estrus Alert)

Now Only

Effective cattle breeding program managment

NEW LOWER PRICE!

Estrotect is a revolutionary new tool to tell when a cow is on heat. Its simple design means there is no messy glue.
Just peel it off the backing paper and stick it on the cow.
Apply Estrotect to you beef for dairy cows before you start mating or following the use of CIDR devices or prostaglandin to synchronise oestrus.
When cows are mounted during standing heat, the scratch off surface of the Estrotect patch is rubbed off to expose the brilliant coloured layer underneath.
The brilliant colour of the activated Estrotect is highly visible in the paddock and in poor light conditions such as in dairies in the early morning.
Available in a range of colours.
Different mobs of cows can be easily identified with different colours. For example, a group of repeat breeder cows could get a different colour to cows that have not yet joined.
Estrus Alert detects true standing heat. A false mount does not set it off.
Easy to apply, highly visible and accurate.
Estrus Alert are sold in packets of 50 of the same colour
Colours Available: Orange Pink Green Blue

CIDR Progesterone Implants for Cattle, Sheep & Goat

Using A.I.? CIDR Progesterone Cattle Implants.
Also available for Sheep and Goat

CIDR Cattle Insert
Progesterone is given to cows and heifers as an implant. One form available in Australia is the CIDR Cattle Insert, which achieves synchrony by lengthening the oestrus cycle while it remains implanted. It releases progesterone, which is the same as the natural hormone produced by the corpeus luteum on the ovary between Day 7–17 of the normal cycle.
When the implant is removed the progesterone level in the bloodstream drops quickly.
This results in another egg developing and normal signs of oestrus behaviour are shown.
The progesterone implants have the advantage over prostaglandins in that they will not cause abortions if they are used on pregnant animals (in fact they may have the opposite effect and may be able to help sustain some early pregnancies) and are also still effective if used on cows that have just been in season. Progesterone treatment can be used to stimulate the hormonal system of cows that are not cycling (anoestrus).
The benefits of using the CIDR Cattle Insert include:
~ AI programs can be completed in only a few days
~ Better use of labour resources by spending less time on heat detection
~ More accurate oestrus detection
~ Fewer non-pregnant animals at the end of the breeding period
~ Improved rates of genetic gain through better use of AI and ET
~ Enhanced fertility in embryo transfer recipient
~ Concentrated breeding, therefore concentrated calving
~ Predetermined calving for special needs
~ Manipulation of breeding to suit seasonal feed supply
~ Reduced parturition to conception period.

Chin Ball Mating Harness for Cattle

The Chin-Ball Cattle Mating Harness is used in herd managment around the world for identifying mated cattle, or for marking cows empty or to be mated.

The robust harness - halter has a cone shaped device underneath which contains a freely rotating ball, working on the same principle as a ball-pen. The stainless steel ball container can be filled with ink of the desired colour. Each fill is enough to mark 25-30 cows (approx. 0.5 litre). When a cow is properly in season she will receive very clearly identifiable back markings from the bull (or cow) wearing the device. Marks fade in 4 to 14 days. We suggest changing colours on a 3 week cycle, to prevent any confusion. Ink is available in 1 litre containers.
Ink Colours available: blue, green, magenta, orange, & yellow.
