As a progressive and forward-thinking farmer, Philip is always interested to hear about new products and services that can offer different approaches to how he runs his farm. After being informed by his Area Manager from CIS, his milk recording organisation, Philip decided to incorporate the CIS PregCheck Milk Pregnancy Test service into his pregnancy diagnosis regime. Since then, he has been using the test on his whole herd routinely every month for over a year.
Philip is primarily using the PregCheck service to identify pregnant cows that are at least 28 - 35 days post breeding. The whole testing process is done once per gestation.
Using the PregCheck service eliminates the time his cows are kept back waiting for the vet to come. When the animals come into the milking parlor, Philip can draw samples without interrupting milking or causing any stress. The cows can now eat and go back to resting whenever they want.
