Rocky Mountain Holsteins relies on the DG-29 pregnancy test for early and
accurate pregnancy diagnosis with a very fast turn around of results.
By incorporating this test in our management system we capture

Economical Impact after using DG29 for one year

	Before	1 year
Average Calving interval	419	407
Frequency of veterinarian visits	4 weeks	5 weeks

78 cows X 12 days in lactation X 5$		4 680 $
Savings on vet visits		546 $
Cost of DG29 tests		(1 147 $)
Revenue		4 079 $

Note: You will notice that the saving on vet cost is very small compared to the increase in revenue associated with the number of decreased open days. Therefore we recommend not changing the frequency of your veterinarian visits, but to keep it the same along with the usage of DG29 in between visits. The decrease in calving intervals may be associated with the usage of DG29 totally or partially.

Testimonial - Ferme M.R. Larochelle

We currently milk 35 cows and since August 2003, we have been regular users of the DG29 test. The DG29 test has become part of our herd management as its effectiveness has been proven in our herd. We take full advantage of its daily availability to quickly identify open cows and re-inseminate them as early as possible. As for our females that test pregnant between day 29 and day 35, we simply keep observing them, and the lack of heat activity confirms that they are holding their pregnancy. We find the DG29 test effective and fast and it has contributed to getting to and maintaining our calving interval at 413 days.

Testimonial - Ferme Gaston Richard inc.

We were among the first ones to use the DG29 test and we have trusted it since September 2002. Our herd counts 110 cows in production plus replacements. Our entire first round of pregnancy testing for cows and heifers, is done via DG29, adding up to over 700 tests to date. The ease, speed and reliability of the test have brought a great deal of flexibility and self management to our pregchecks. Confirmed pregnancies are however re-verified later in the gestation by our veterinarian in order to control embryo mortality. The winning formula for our farm is the combined usage of DG29 and our vet service; a combination that we do not intend to change.

DG29 is an additional herd management option in our herd. We use it particularly on cows that tend to repeat. Taking the blood sample is simple; results are submitted quickly and are easy to read. High producing cows are often harder to get in calf and require a higher level of management, these cases really benefit from the readily availability of DG29.

Testimonial - Ferme Cansuisse

There are 32 milking cows at my farm. I use my veterinarian to preg check every 6 weeks and I use the pregnancy test from Conception in between his visits. When combining the vet services and the DG29 tests, I was able to reduce my calving interval by 10 days in only 8 months, as it went from 405 days to 395 days.
