MareWatch is proud to offer two exciting new equine "home pregnancy tests"  developed by the Reproductive Technologies Group and made available to MareWatch by FoalProof Equine, LLC.

FoalProof Equine uses lateral flow technology to analyze a small sample of maternal blood or urine for the presence of metabolites of pregnancy specific steroids secreted by the developing fetal-placental unit, and thereby aid the diagnosis of pregnancy status. In the event of fetal loss, production of the estrogenic steroid decreases rapidly to non-pregnant levels.

Available are FoalProof™ serum test and the WeeFoal™ urine test that can be used to diagnose and monitor pregnancy status in all breeds of horses, donkeys and zebra, where palpation per rectum or internal ultrasound scanning is not an option for miniature or smaller mares.  FoalProof serum test is currently unavailable. We suggest that you try the WeeFoal urine test.

· Specificity:  98% (probability of a negative result for non-pregnant mares, 389 mares tested).

· Sensitivity:  97.1% (probability of a positive result for mares 120 or more days pregnant, 312 mares tested).
