For Cow, Goat and Sheep: Pregnancy Examination with the PAG Test from Milk

What is the PAG Test?

Detection of Specific Proteins
The PAG Test from milk is a laboratory test (ELISA) designed to detect glycoproteins (Pregnancy-Associated Glycoprotein = PAG) in cow and goat milk. PAG is exclusively produced during pregnancy.

Three Possible Test Results
The test results are provided as "PAG-positive", "PAG-negative" and "uncertain." In cases of "uncertain" results, confirming the pregnancy status with a retest at a later time is advisable.

Reliability of the Test
The PAG Test from milk exhibits a very high level of reliability when standard quality assurance measures are followed. Any deviations from the actual pregnancy status of the cow may be attributed to sample quality or short-term influences (e.g. rejection).

What conditions need to be met?

 

      last calving   artificial insemination/mating
  Cattle   at least  50* days ago   at least 28 days ago
  Sheep   at least  80* days ago   at least 28 days ago
  Goat   at least 80 days ago   at least 35* days ago

 

*  Attention: Test specifications have changed

 

Benefits:

  • Easy sampling, no effort for fixation, no blood sampling required.
  • Detection accuracy comparable to palpation/ultrasound.
  • Early detection of pregnancies and abortions, leading to shorter calving intervals.
  • For successful herd management, information about the pregnancy status of cows is an essential requirement throughout the entire pregnancy.

Costs:

10 sample tubes cost 74.00 Euros (plus 19% VAT). You pay the amount once, even if you send the tubes at different times.

Discounts:

  • For orders of 5 sample sets, you receive 3 tubes for free.
  • For orders of 10 sample sets (100 tubes in total), you receive 7 tubes for free.
