MAKING HEAT DETECTION EASY
If your heat detection isn’t up to scratch then you won’t get your cows in calf! The timing of artificial insemination is critical to good conception rates. ESTROTECTTM is the best heat detection device available in New Zealand. ESTROTECTTM is a heat detection device which is designed to take the hassle out of detecting when your cows are on heat. In 2010 we sold over 500,000 ESTROTECTS to New Zealand dairy farmers!
So does your staff know how to pick a cow that is in heat? ESTROTECT’S are a great tool to assist in teaching staff to identify when a cow is on heat.
“This was our first season trying ESTROTECTS and to start with one of our staff members was very reluctant to changing from tail paint, however now that he has tried them he has completely turned around and will not go back!” June Johansen - Hamilton
New EstroTect Design
Why use ESTROTECTS over traditional heat detection methods like tail paint?
• Brilliant signal layer is exposed after several mountings, detecting standing heat with extreme accuracy – virtually no more false positives!
• Self-adhesive which is simple to apply
• Once applied the ESTROTECT stay in place in rain, snow or heat
• No re-application necessary
• Herd colour management system allows you to use different colours to track and identify subsequent matings.
• No messy glue or markers
• Easy storage and shipping, not dangerous goods.
Easy to read, easy to use
After a single mounting: The reflective signal layer begins to show.
After 3-5 mountings: More of the signal layer is exposed after several mountings.
After more than 5 mounts: Most of the signal layer is revealed, indicating several mountings of an animal in true standing heat.
How to use ESTROTECTS
Keep ESTROTECT® warm just before application. As long as the product is kept warm, it can be applied in any weather conditions.
Warm
Wipe the application area with a cotton chore glove or towel. ESTROTECT® sticks to the hair, so dirt and oils must be wiped away. Avoid using solvents to clean.

Stick
Press ESTROTECT® onto the animal’s hair across the backbone (side to side). Rubbing ESTROTECT® onto the hair will not damage the silver rub-off surface.
