WHAT IS “ESTRUS INTENSITY”?
Estrus intensity is the level of standing heat a cow or heifer is displaying. This indicates the strength of fertility she’s expressing at that time. In general, more mounting activity means higher estrus intensity and fertility. Higher estrus intensity leads to increased pregnancy rates and lower pregnancy loss rates.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE HEAT DETECTOR
As the only patches on the market designed to gauge estrus intensity, ESTROTECT™ Breeding Indicators not only tell you when cows are in heat, but also when they’re most likely to get pregnant — a true advantage to any breeding program.
MAKE GENETICS GO FURTHER
Using ESTROTECT™ Breeding Indicators to gauge a cow’s estrus intensity level gives you the advantage of knowing when she’s most likely to get pregnant during her cycle. When breeding with this knowledge, there’s less risk of genetics going to waste and greater potential for higher value genetics, such as sexed semen or embryo transfer.
