Alertys milk pregnancy testing
Pregnancy diagnosis through routine milk testing.
- Maximize cow comfort: non-invasive, less stress for the cows
- Test with minimal effort as part of your routine milk control
- 99% accuracy¹ from day 28
- Optimise reproductive efficiency
Minimal labour, minimal expense, maximum benefit.
The most productive cow is a stress-free cow. That's why we've developed an alternative to the conventional pregnancy testing that is better for the cow and more convenient for the farmer.
The Alertys Milk Pregnancy Test is a convenient pregnancy diagnosis for dairy cows. Simple and greater than 99% accurate,¹ it uses the same milk you collect for your routine milk recording. You can also use self-sampling pots and have them posted directly to your milk recording organisations (this option is only available to some milk recording organisations).
- No additional work is needed.
- No extra handling, no separate testing.
- No extra stress – for your cows, or for you.
The ideal solution for your entire operation.

What customers are saying.
"The test’s biggest benefit is that we’re no longer having to handle the cattle. It’s one less job, it’s non-invasive, and it’s stress-free both for the herd and our team at a busy time of year, which also has the added workload of TB testing."

"When we test our cows using the Alertys Milk Pregnancy Test at 28 days and again at 75 days, we are happy that we no longer need to do extra checks on our cows. Additionally, we don’t have to interfere with the cows during their feeding and milking routines."

"It's a fast and effective method of pregnancy test, with no stress for my cows!"

Are you using milking robots? That's even better!
The Alertys Milk Pregnancy Test comes with greater benefits when integrating with robotic farms.
- Pregnancy results with no need to block the cows: less stress for the cows and fewer traffic jams at the robot
- Less somatic cells and lameness cases as cows spend less time standing and waiting
- Early and frequent pregnancy checks result in more cows in calf and better farm profitability
