Equine Diagnostic Tests:

can be used to diagnose and monitor pregnancy status in all breeds of horses. It is particularly appropriate for small horses where palpation per rectum or internal ultrasound scanning is not an option. Equine Diagnostics provides peace of mind. Now it is easy to monitor the pregnancy status of your mare from 38 days after breeding right through to day 300 or 6 weeks before foaling. Neither test is a replacement for Veterinary Services. After first being diagnosed pregnant, Veterinary Services should be retained so that pregnancy status can be verified, and your mare managed accordingly. WeeFoal does not suffer the problem of 'false positive' diagnoses, often seen with other biochemical pregnancy tests, where mares that have lost their foals are still diagnosed as pregnant. In the event of foetal loss, production of the estrogenic steroid decreases rapidly to non-pregnant levels, thereby resulting in a 'not pregnant' diagnosis when tested.
