CATTLE BREEDING

The reliable choice in identifyingcows in heat. Kamar HeatmountDetectors give a clear indicationof a cow in heat by turningbright red - clearly visible from adistance.

Standing heat behaviour is themost reliable indication of a cowin heat, but with 70% showingfirst signs of heat during thenight, many night heats aremissed, without reliable heatdetection. Kamar HeatmountDetectors work 24 hours a dayand due to a uniquely pressure-sensitive design, are activatedonly by standing heat behaviour,not false mounting.

Kamar Heatmount Detectors canbe used after insemination todetect a return to heat and alsoto determine when cows returnto cycling after calving.

Kamar is also available with bluecloth for additional managementoptions, blue Kamar has red ink.

Missing a cow in heat, costs asmuch as £4.60 per day* reducingthe profitability of a herd.

Accurate and reliable heatdetection is essential in aprofitable breeding programmeand identifying cows in heatincreases conception rates,reduces calving intervals andlowers insemination costs. Eachhas a positive impact on herdprofitability.

Kamar Heatmount Detectors

• Cut the cost of missed heats

• Stay firmly glued to the cow

• Identify night heats

• Reliable even in extreme weather

• Increase herd profitability

Kamar is simple to use andremains firmly glued to the cow,under even the most extremeweather conditions.
