Takes the guesswork out of heat detecting!

When we started using Estrotect heat detector patches, we increased our conception rate dramatically! Would never go back to AI’ing without them. Saves time and money!

They tell the story

I rely on the Estrotect patches to tell me everything about my cows cycles for heat and breeding as well as let me know if they are not bred. Always work and have helped me with improving my calving season and even culling.

Makes heat detection so easy

I have used Estrotect for several years now and they simplify the process so much to save you time. I would highly recommend using these in your heat detection process!

Stays put and works hard like you!

Estrotect patches stay on better than any other heat detection patch. There are some other patches that are cheaper but you get what you pay for and we can’t afford the lack of value with the other patches.

Effective and simple!

Estrotect allows us to be timely and precise on our breeding program! I really like the simplicity of just the color change of the patch telling me that it’s time to breed. This product is here to stay in my management toolbox!
