Welcome
Hume Equine Services is proud to offer two exciting new
diagnostic products developed for those involved in the
field of equine reproduction.
Hume Equine Services offers two easy, rapid and accurate
tests for diagnosing the pregnancy status of mare from
120 days after breeding through to the last 6 weeks of
the expected time of foaling, giving you answers in 5-20
minutes.
Hume Equine Services 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 foetal loss, production of the estrogenic steroid decreases
rapidly to non-pregnant levels.
NO FALSE POSITIVES
Hume Equine Services offers
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.
non-invasive, accurate and affordable
FoalProof was developed by the Reproductive
Technologies Group.
The goal of Hume Equine Services is to continue to
create "easy to use" diagnostic tests and
become a leader in the distribution of Equine Gestation
products for the Veterinarian, Breeder and to the Equine
trade.
