Frequently Asked Questions

What does the test detect?
The test detects pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs), which are produced in the placenta and found in the cow’s blood during pregnancy.

What sample types are supported?
Whole blood (EDTA) is preferred for ease of use, but plasma and serum can also be used.

Does the test work for all breeds?
Yes, the Alertys OnFarm Pregnancy Test is effective across all bovine breeds.

Can it tell me the stage of pregnancy or if twins are present?
No, the test only provides a result of pregnant, not pregnant or recheck. It does not indicate gestation stage, calf sex, or multiple pregnancies.

What about cows that recently calved or experienced loss?
PAGs may remain in the blood for 6–10 days after early embryonic loss, or up to 70 days after calving or late-term abortion. Wait at least 70 days post-calving before testing again.

What if I run bulls with my cows?
If using a bull instead of timed AI, wait 50 days after the bull is introduced, or test 28 days after he is removed. For year-round running, consider monthly testing.
