ESTROTECT™ BREEDING INDICATORS
Take the Gamble Out of Breeding
Our highly effective and affordable ESTROTECT™ Breeding Indicators make a valuable addition to any breeding program. Packing multiple uses, including cattle estrus detection, cycle monitoring, pregnancy indication and embryonic loss identification, our Breeding Indicators are proven to help increase confirmed pregnancy rates.

HOW ESTROTECT™ WORKS
Our Breeding Indicators are more than just cattle heat detection patches. They identify all the main breeding considerations, making it easy for you to determine optimal estrus intensity, monitor cycles, indicates pregnancies and evaluate embryonic loss.
Identify When Cattle are in Optimal Estrus
When the Breeding Indicator is more than 50% rubbed off, it means the cow is in optimal estrus intensity and it’s time to breed. Research has proven that cattle express higher estrus intensity, and therefore, confirmed pregnancies are three times more likely when the patch is more than 50% rubbed off.1
Monitor Estrus at a Glance
The fluorescent colors of the Breeding Indicators make it easy to pinpoint where each animal is in their cycle — allowing for optimal estrus detection in cattle without someone being present when the mounting activity occurs.
Indicate Pregnancy
Breeding Indicators offer a simple and accurate method of pregnancy detection in cattle. If the patches show no signs of estrus activity following breeding, the cows or heifers can be assumed pregnant.
Identify Embryonic Loss
ESTROTECT™ Breeding Indicators can help identify embryonic loss by placing a patch on a cow or heifer after they have been confirmed pregnant. If the Breeding Indicator shows any signs of activity, it indicates she went back into heat and is no longer pregnant.
Application
Easy as 1-2-3-4-5
With just five simple application steps, adhering the Breeding Indicator to your cattle is a breeze. To ensure optimal results, it’s important to follow each step carefully. We provide detailed instructions in video, web and printable formats to guide you through the process.
REVIEWS
Game changer
Before I would heat detect 6 & 6 but I wasn’t having the best conception rates. When I started using the heat patches I could tell when they where really ready to breed. My conception rate is up due to a better timing of AI. I even use them on cows I can’t feel a calf in, just slap a sticker on them and let the other cows tell me whether she’s bred or not. They also make
It easier for AI’ing outside cows, owner can tell me on the phone who’s ready and who’s not. Sure makes it easy when they live thirty or more minutes away.
Easy to see and read.
It helps you spend a lot less time heat detecting. The colors can be seen from along ways away.
Save time early detection!
I use estrotect heat patches for several years on recip cows and A I. Breeding. You will save time and money with heat patches .
Confidence in breeding
Using Estrotect give you extra confidence when it comes to AI. You know trey have been in heat and don’t have to wonder if you missed them
If their red they are breed
I’ve been using they for around five years. The best tool there is when AI’ing and putting in embryos.
