KAMAR HEATMOUNT® DETECTORS
The reliable choice in identifying
cows in heat. Kamar Heatmount
Detectors give a clear indication
of a cow in heat by turning
bright red - clearly visible from a
distance.
Standing heat behaviour is the
most reliable indication of a cow
in heat, but with 70% showing
first signs of heat during the
night, many night heats are
missed, without reliable heat
detection. Kamar Heatmount
Detectors work 24 hours a day
and due to a uniquely pressuresensitive design, are activated
only by standing heat behaviour,
not false mounting.
Kamar Heatmount Detectors can
be used after insemination to
detect a return to heat and also
to determine when cows return
to cycling after calving.
Kamar is also available with blue
cloth for additional management
options, blue Kamar has red ink.
Missing a cow in heat, costs as
much as £4.60 per day* reducing
the profitability of a herd.
Accurate and reliable heat
detection is essential in a
profitable breeding programme
and identifying cows in heat
increases conception rates,
reduces calving intervals and
lowers insemination costs. Each
has a positive impact on herd
profitability.
