										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eazi-Breed™ CIDR® progesterone inserts are designed to help dairy and beef producers improve reproductive program efficiency through estrus synchronization and controlled progesterone release. Commonly used in timed AI, synchronization, and resynchronization protocols, CIDRs help groups of cows and heifers come into heat within a more controlled breeding window.</p>
<p>Each Eazi-Breed CIDR insert contains 1.38 grams of progesterone in molded silicone over a flexible nylon spine and is administered intravaginally using a CIDR applicator. The insert releases progesterone throughout the treatment period to support synchronization protocols in dairy cows, beef cows, and replacement heifers.</p>
<p><strong>Eazi-Breed CIDR inserts are widely used in:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Timed A.I. programs</li>
<li>Estrus synchronization protocols</li>
<li>Resynchronization programs</li>
<li>Anestrus management</li>
<li>Embryo transfer programs</li>
<li>Beef and dairy replacement heifer breeding</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The controlled internal drug release (CIDR) system helps producers better manage breeding schedules, improve labor efficiency, and create more consistent reproductive management across the herd</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Detect-Her Tail Paint Aerosol Spray is a convenient heat detection aid designed to help dairy and beef producers identify cows in standing heat through paint removal caused by mounting activity. Applied to the tail head, the bright fluorescent paint wears away as cows are mounted, helping improve estrus detection and breeding timing.</p>
<p>This aerosol tail paint provides quick, point-and-shoot application with excellent visibility and consistent coverage. The formula is designed to remain visible in dairy and beef production environments while still rubbing off clearly after several mounts for easier interpretation.</p>
<p>Detect-Her Aerosol Spray contains BITTERGUARD to help reduce licking behavior and is water soluble for easier cleanup without staining hands. Available in multiple bright color options, the spray supports reproductive management programs, AI breeding protocols, synchronization programs, and daily heat detection routines.</p>
<p>Tail paint systems are widely used because they offer a practical, economical, and effective method for identifying estrus activity in cattle herds. Proper tail painting programs can significantly improve heat detection efficiency and breeding management.</p>

		<title>ESTROTECT™ Heat Detection Patches for Dairy and Beef Cattle</title>

					<description><![CDATA[ESTROTECT™ Breeding Indicators help dairy and beef producers accurately detect heat, monitor estrus intensity, and make better breeding decisions. These easy-to-read heat detection patches scratch off to expose a bright fluorescent color when cows or heifers are mounted. As additional mountings occur, more color is exposed, making it easier to identify animals showing stronger heat activity.

<strong>ESTROTECT patches are ideal for use with timed AI programs, Ovsynch protocols, and after breeding to monitor return heats.</strong>
<ul>
 	<li>Scratches off to expose brilliant color when cows or heifers are mounted</li>
 	<li>More mounting activity exposes more color for easier heat detection</li>
 	<li>Useful after breeding to monitor return heats and estrus cycles</li>
 	<li>Bright fluorescent colors are easy to read from a distance</li>
 	<li>Cleaning brush available to improve patch adhesion before application</li>
</ul>
&#160;]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ESTROTECT Breeding Indicators are proven heat detection patches designed for dairy and beef producers who want a simple, accurate way to monitor estrus activity.</p>
<p>When cows or heifers are mounted, the silver coating scratches off to reveal a bright fluorescent color underneath. Additional mountings expose more color, making it easy to identify the animals showing the strongest estrus intensity.</p>
<p>When more than 50% of the patch is rubbed off, the cow or heifer is typically in optimal heat and ready to breed.</p>
<p><strong>ESTROTECT patches fit easily into a variety of breeding programs and are commonly used:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>During Ovsynch and synchronization protocols</li>
<li>Before breeding to identify standing heat</li>
<li>After breeding to monitor return heats</li>
<li>To help identify cows that may be pregnant</li>
<li>To identify potential embryonic loss in confirmed pregnancies</li>
</ul>
<p>If a patch remains unchanged after breeding, the animal can often be assumed pregnant. If the patch shows new rubbing activity after pregnancy confirmation, it may indicate she has returned to heat.</p>
<p>For best adhesion, clean the tailhead area before applying patches. A cleaning brush is available to remove dirt, manure and loose hair before application.</p>

 	<li>Available in 25-count and 100-count boxes, with adhesive</li>
</ul>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kamar Heatmount Detectors provide accurate heat detection in both beef cattle and dairy cattle operations. Designed to improve reproductive efficiency, these heat detection patches help producers precisely identify standing estrus which is critical for successful artificial insemination (AI) programs.</p>
<p>Mounted on the tailhead, each detector contains a pressure-sensitive capsule that changes color when activated by mounting activity. This visual signal allows producers to identify cows ready for breeding, reducing missed heats and improving conception rates.</p>
<p>Kamar detectors simplify estrus detection and reduce the time and labor associated with visual observation. By improving heat detection accuracy, they directly support better reproductive performance and herd profitability.</p>
