We are excited to now be offering, BioPRYN® blood pregnancy testing for several ruminant species, including cattle, sheep and goats. BioPRYN® was the first protein-based pregnancy test used in ruminant species and has been the gold standard in pregnancy testing since the early 1980’s. Samples from cattle can be collected as early as 28 days post breeding (DPB) and as early as 30 DPB in sheep and goats.
Getting accurate results from our certified laboratory is as easy as collecting ~2ml of blood in a plain red-top vacuum tube (see videos below for blood collection help) and either shipping or delivering it to our lab at:
834 N. Century St.
Visalia, CA 93291.
Submitted samples will be run on Tuesdays and/or Fridays and results will be reported via email within 24 hours. Below is a submission form available for download. Please fill out the required information and return with your samples and payment. Payment is required prior to results being reported (unless other arrangements have been made).

- Individual (1-9 samples): $6.50
- Volume (10+ samples): $3.00
- Sheep/Goat
