Find open cows in minutes. The on-farm pregnancy test detects pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) in blood.

• Detects pregnancy as early as 28 days after breeding and 70 days after calving
• Sample: EDTA whole blood, plasma or serum (purple-top EDTA tubes are recommended)
• Result in 5 to 20 minutes

Found a BVD positive? Here's what to do next.

We notify you of any positive result. Remove the animal from the pen as soon as possible. Then your options are:
• Humane euthanasia
• Isolate and feed to finish, knowing it may die early
• Sell to slaughter after observing withdrawal times

Never sell a PI animal at auction or privately without disclosing its status. It's inappropriate and unethical.

5 steps we recommend to protect your herd from BVD:

1. Test all cattle for PI.
2. Vaccinate every year with a modified-live vaccine.
3. Test all herd additions.
4. Test each year's calf crop.
5. Build a whole-herd BVD biosecurity plan.

Start with a test. We accept ear notch or serum samples: https://cattlestats.com/bvd-testing-instructions/

Taking BVD ear notch samples? Here's the right way:

1. Set up 3 containers: two with clean water, one with Nolvasan (1 oz per gallon). Use only notchers supplied by Cattle Stats and check that your tubes are numbered correctly.
2. Take a full notch from the upper tip of the ear. Drop it in the tube, fully submerged in fluid.
3. Sanitize the notcher between animals: water #1 to remove hair, Nolvasan to disinfect, water #2 to rinse.
4. Confirm the animal ID matches the tube. Refrigerate promptly or deliver right away. Fill out every lab form accurately.

4 BVD myths that cost producers calves:

"PI calves always look sick." Up to 50% look completely normal.
"If a calf is PI, its dam is PI." Only about 7% of PI calves had a PI dam.
"Calf death is the biggest cost." Reproductive losses cost more: lower pregnancy rates, more abortions, higher calf mortality.
"Vaccination alone protects the herd." A PI calf sheds so much virus it can overwhelm vaccine immunity.
The way to find a PI is to test. We accept ear notch or serum samples. How to send them: https://cattlestats.com/bvd-testing-instructions/

Shipping samples to the lab? Check these 4 things first:

Right sample: BVD = ear notch (preferred) or serum. Pregnancy = serum only.
Right tube: Red Top. Red tiger-top works too. Other colors are rejected.
Ship to arrive in the morning. UPS, FedEx Priority or Priority Mail usually do. FedEx Standard Overnight and Ground can arrive late and delay results.
Beat the 1:00 pm CT cutoff for same-day results. After 1:00 pm, samples may run the next business day.
