[QUOTE="1848, post: 251178, member: 1303"] I was talking to my wife a few weeks back, wondering why no one has come up with a simular pregnancy test to the one most women use. It seems a simple way for individuals to confirm early pregnancy in cattle. Taking a urine sample in cattle could potentially determine if a cow is pregnant within 2 to 3 weeks. It's not that messy, would be easy to do in a shute and I'm sure that you could "feasibly" even come up with a way to attach a strip to the animal where it would be practical (we actually brain stormed a few ideas :)), to just read it in the field (like PH paper). Are the components of that type test that expensive that it would not be cost effective to make it on a larger scale? I know there is a new blood test out there that can give you early confirmation, and there is also ultrasound, but they can get expensive and require facilities and the like. Seems like something like this would be cheap, and maybe sell like hotcakes. Wish I had money to pursue an idea like this! :( What is y'alls thoughts on this? P.S. Alice, this has nothing to do with "collecting the urine", but that could be any easy way to do it too! :P :D [/QUOTE]
