When you see the light, you know it’s the best time to breed her for optimum fertility results. Based on extensive research*, the new MountCount heat detection unit not only tells you precisely when she’s in heat, but tells you precisely when to breed her.                                

Designed exclusively for dairies that don’t want a totally automated heat detection system, a MountCount unit displays mounting activity by way of 3 blinking lights.  So by simply looking at the lights 2 or 3 times a day as you’re behind the cow or as she’s being milked, you know which cows are coming into heat, which cows are in heat, and which cows are ready to be bred.

*Dr. Ray Nebel’s (Virginia Polytechnic Institute) landmark study on time to insemination in dairy cows was published in 1998 in the Journal of Dairy Science.  That study reported the ideal time to breed a dairy cow (as opposed to a beef cow) is 4-16 hours after the onset of heat.
