Pregmare Kit
Technology Details:
This is an early pregnancy kit based on ELISA which can be used for pregnancy diagnosis between 35 to 120 days of gestation in mares covered by horse stallions. It is based on the detection of PMSG or chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) which is released after conception (after about 30 days of gestation) from the endometrial cups in pregnant mares. This kit is now in routine use at for pregnancy diagnosis in mares at field level.
This is an early pregnancy kit based on the detection of PMSG or eCG equine-based sandwich ELISA (sELISA) which can be used for pregnancy diagnosis between 35 to 120 days of gestation in mares covered by horse stallions. Ready to use ELISA plate is provided with eCG standards for quantification of eCG in serum samples of a pregnant mare. This can be used both for early pregnancy detection and foetus viability. This kit can be used both as a qualitative and quantitative test. This ELISA kit is rapid, sensitive, specific, efficient and animal-friendly. The pregmare kit is stable for a minimum of 6 months if maintained at 4oC. Economically, it is very beneficial to all categories of equine owners as cost per test is quite low as compared to the ultrasound scanning fee.
