This animal ovulation detector is a handheld breeding management tool for pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys and other farm animals. It helps farms and veterinary breeding teams monitor estrus-stage changes, support ovulation timing decisions and improve breeding-window management. With a 405 mm probe, LCD display, automatic single-test operation and fast reading within 3 seconds, it is suitable for daily reproduction management on livestock farms.
Product Overview
This animal ovulation detector is designed for livestock farms, breeding centers, veterinary service teams and farm managers who need a practical tool for estrus-stage and ovulation-timing reference. It is suitable for pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys, helping breeding teams make more informed decisions during reproductive management.
The device uses a handheld structure with a long probe and LCD screen. During use, the detector collects a reading from the animal reproductive tract environment and displays the result on the screen. Farms can use the reading as a management reference together with animal behavior, breeding records, farm routines and veterinary guidance.
This product should be used as a breeding management aid, not as a standalone medical diagnosis device. It is most useful when combined with good observation, record keeping, proper animal handling and scheduled breeding management.

How to Use the Animal Ovulation Detector
Use the animal ovulation detector as a breeding management support tool for pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, and donkeys. Proper cleaning, calm animal handling, and consistent operation are important for more stable readings.
Operation Method
- Clean the detector before use.
Wash and disinfect the probe with a suitable cleaning solution, then rinse it thoroughly. The probe can be used directly after rinsing, without wiping it dry. - Prepare and restrain the animal.
Secure the animal properly. After cleaning the external vulva area, gently insert the probe into the reproductive tract until it can no longer move forward easily. - Hold the probe in position.
Keep the probe steady, rotate it two full turns, and press the switch on the handle to start the reading. - Read the values correctly.
The screen will first display three dashed lines. The first value appears after about 3 seconds, the second value appears 3 seconds later, and the third value appears after another 3 seconds. Use the two closest values as the main reference. The device automatically shuts down about 10 seconds after the reading is completed. - Clean and store after use.
Wash and disinfect the probe again after testing, then store the detector in a clean and dry place.
Precautions
- Clean and disinfect the probe thoroughly before and after every test.
- Reproductive tract inflammation may cause abnormal secretions and may affect the reading.
- If the reproductive tract has just been cleaned with liquid solution, residue may affect the result. Testing is not recommended on the same day after internal cleaning.
- During testing, keep the animal as calm as possible. Large body movement or twisting may cause reading deviation.

Reading Reference by Animal
The following values are reference readings for breeding management support. They should be used together with animal behavior, farm records, and practical breeding observation. They are not a substitute for professional veterinary diagnosis.
Cow Reference Reading
- Early estrus: below 200
- Mid estrus: 200–250
- Breeding period: 250–310
- Not in estrus: 320–600
- General inflammation: 600–1000
- Uterine disease: 1000–1999
Notes:
- Values below 200 should be followed with continued monitoring until the reading rises.
- For readings between 200 and 250, continued observation is recommended, or breeding can be combined with heat induction management where appropriate.
- A peak breeding reference value of around 310 is recommended.
- If a cow with obvious estrus signs tests above 310, check whether cleaning was sufficient or whether abnormal secretion or inflammation may be affecting the result.
- A display of 10 indicates an overload value above 2000.
Horse Reference Reading
- Horses not in estrus usually read above 360.
- When estrus begins, the value starts to drop and may fall to about 320.
- When the value rises again to around 350, the first breeding can be arranged.
- The second breeding can be arranged 6–8 hours later.
Donkey Reference Reading
- Donkeys not in estrus usually read below 500.
- When estrus begins, the value starts to rise and may reach around 1500.
- When the value starts to fall and reaches 600–800, the first breeding can be arranged.
- The second breeding can be arranged 6–8 hours later.
Pig Reference Reading
- Not in estrus: above 400
- Early estrus: around 200
- Mid estrus: 300–400
- Breeding period: 400–600 (if standing heat is obvious, breeding can be arranged directly)
- Mild inflammation: 600–1000
- Uterine disease: 1000–1999
Notes:
- If the sow shows obvious standing heat and the reading is above 400, breeding can be arranged directly.
- If standing heat is obvious and the reading is 600–800 without abnormal mucus, breeding can still be arranged directly.
- If standing heat is not obvious and the reading is below 400, test again after half a day. If it rises above 400, breeding can be arranged.
- If standing heat is not obvious and the reading is above 400, test again after half a day. If the increase is more than 50, breeding can be arranged.
- A display of 10 indicates an overload value above 2000.
Sheep Reference Reading
- Not in estrus: above 600, or the value remains stable at one level after the estrus period has passed
- Early estrus: 600–300, with a continuous downward trend
- Mid estrus: 300–550, with a continuous upward trend
- Breeding period: 550–600, with a continued upward trend
- General inflammation: 800–1000, often with abnormal discharge
- Endometritis or uterine disease: 1000–1999 (or display 10 in overload situations)
Notes:
- Continuous testing is recommended. If the value rises above 550 and continues rising, breeding can be arranged.
- Sheep are often in estrus and may also commonly show inflammatory conditions, so practical observation is important.
