EstroTect Heat Detector Patches
Simple scratch-off technology
Management tool for A.I. programs or embryo transfer recipients
Available in four fluorescent colors
ESTROTECT is an economical, simple to use and highly effective heat detection aid. It features simple scratch-off technology for superior results in your visual detection program. Available in four fluorescent colors red/orange, blue, green and fuchsia ESTROTECT is a management tool for artificial insemination programs or monitor recipients for embryo transfer.
Detecting standing heat requires keen observation over a period of time. ESTROTECT Heat Detectors are self-adhesive and are placed between the hip and tail head. Unlike other heat detection aids, ESTROTECT withstands multiple mountings while heat progresses.
ESTROTECT was designed to indicate when cows are in standing heat in contrast to only showing when a cow has been mounted once for two or three seconds. More and more of the silver ESTROTECT surface is removed via friction each time a cow or heifer is mounted. When more of the fluorescent color indicator is visible than the silver scratch-off surface, the closer the cow or heifer is to standing heat. The photos to the right illustrate ESTROTECT during different stages of use.
Keep Heat Detectors Warm. The detector should be warmed to 100 degrees F or 38 degrees C immediately prior to application. This activates the adhesive and provides instant adhesion at lower temperatures. This can be done numerous ways including putting next to your skin until they are soft and flexible. For large quantities, put the detectors in a small cooler with a hot water bottle or other heat source.
Site of Application. Ideal location for placement on the cow is between the hip and tail head with ESTROTECT evenly spaced perpendicular to the spine.
Brush Hair Thoroughly. Create optimal conditions for adhesion by vigorously brushing the coat in the area you ll place the heat detector across the backbone on the back half of the cow. Brush with the grain of the hair to remove dirt, dust and shedding/molting hair.
Note: Protect detectors from tail flicking by placing them near the top of the tail when fly counts are high.
Clean the Hair. Clean the surface area with an ESTROTECT cloth to completely remove any remaining dirt, dust or sand or sawdust. As with brushing, wipe with the grain of the hair and fold the cleaning cloth as needed.
Heat Detector Application. Place heat detector on the application site, press down firmly and rub into hair with bare fingers. Do not apply in rainy weather.
Heat detection requires thorough observation regardless of which aid you choose to use. To help ensure success, follow these tips.
Observe the cows for 30 minutes twice a day, early in the morning and early in the evening. Consider observations at noon when mounting activity is high. See Table 1 below for a breakdown of when cows exhibit heat.
Observe cows away from the feed bunk.
Hot weather, high production, crowded conditions or high stress environments may curtail mounting activity. Adjust your observations accordingly.
Cows in standing heat average about 1.5 mounts per hour and are in heat 6-8 hours.
Cows may be willing to mount others even though neither may stand for a mount.
Cows in pre-heat may bawl, be restless or sniff, lick or headbutt other cattle.
