Sodium hypochlorite test for early pregnancy diagnosis in cows Promising innovative method

Abstract

Abstract We present a groundbreaking scientific innovation that addresses the challenges faced by the agricultural industry in the early detection of pregnancy in cattle. The main objectives of our new urine-based pregnancy test are to reduce the number of empty cow days, increase production, improve profitability and guarantee accurate, rapid results. The test is based on a unique reaction between urine and sodium hypochlorite, which is triggered exclusively in the presence of an embryo or fetus. Our results reveal early detection as early as 16 to 25 days after insemination, with a sensitivity of 97.39%, a specificity of 73.33% and an accuracy of 93.33% for pregnant cows and 88% for non-pregnant cows. We are convinced that our test will be the starting point of a new breakthrough, given the flexibility and cost-effectiveness that will make it a practical choice for breeders, reducing stress on cattle and revolutionizing early pregnancy detection in the scientific field.
