Rapid Early Pregnancy Test From Central States Testing Affordable, Accurate & Easy Cattle Pregnancy Test

Livestock producers and veterinarians now have a faster, more affordable way to check pregnancy status in cattle. The Rapid Early Pregnancy Test from Central States Testing delivers quick, reliable results while saving both time and money.

Unlike other on-site pregnancy tests, this kit includes everything you need to collect a sample—syringes, needles, and blood tubes—so you can get accurate answers without extra purchases or lab delays.

Affordable Pricing For Every Herd Size

• $7.50 per test when purchased in a kit of 25
• $8.75 per individual test

This makes the Rapid Early Pregnancy Test one of the most cost-effective options available, without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.

Key Advantages Of The Rapid Early Pregnancy Test

Two-year shelf life for long-term storage

Temperature range of 60–95°F for flexible on-ranch use

Requires only two drops of blood and buffer for fast, simple testing

Accurate, rapid results to support better herd management decisions

Availability

The Rapid Early Pregnancy Test for ruminants will be available starting September 2025. Producers can choose between individual tests or convenient 25-test kits, making it easy to scale for both small and large operations.

Why Early Pregnancy Testing Matters

Early and accurate pregnancy detection allows ranchers to:

• Improve herd management and reproductive efficiency
• Reduce feed costs for open (non-pregnant) animals
• Make timely culling or rebreeding decisions
• Maximize profitability through better resource allocation
