Devices designed for canine progesterone analysis provide quantitative serum or plasma measurements crucial for determining optimal breeding timing. These instruments offer rapid, accurate results, often within minutes, using technologies like chemiluminescence immunoassay or fluorescence polarization immunoassay. A veterinarian or trained technician can operate these analyzers in a clinic setting, offering immediate information for breeding management decisions.
Precise ovulation timing significantly improves breeding success rates and reduces the need for repeated matings. Historically, breeders relied on less accurate methods like observing behavioral changes or cytological evaluation. Modern in-house analyzers offer improved precision, allowing breeders to pinpoint peak fertility and plan insemination or mating accordingly. This technology also enables earlier and more accurate pregnancy diagnosis, streamlining canine reproductive management. Access to immediate results eliminates delays associated with sending samples to external laboratories, saving valuable time in the crucial breeding window.
