‘I just wanted to send you a quick email to say that the milk test yet again proved how invaluable it is for our breeding program. Our first mare wasn’t due until March 14th and has been showing no signs of pending labour. Her milk colour changed drastically last night so I decided to test it. She tested at 300 and foaled 10 hours later. Had we not had the milk test we probably would have assumed we had a few days before foaling. Thank you for your amazing product...’

‘This little girl is Merida, and she was born at 11 p.m. on July 9, 2019...In the afternoon we took the test and it turned blue between 350 and 500 so we stopped at the stables. Next thing you know, our little one arrived.’

‘I used this kit with my maiden mare for our first foal experience. On day 320, the kit showed a reading of around 50. On day 322, the kit read 250. My husband spent the night at the barn, and we had a foal at 5:07 the next morning. The kit is awesome, and we would have missed the birth without it. I highly recommend it.’

‘I have used the foal watch test kit for years and it has been 100% accurate every time! I lost both mare and foal quite a few years ago due to complications during a breech delivery. I decided then that I will be there for EVERY DELIVERY from now on – and I have been…THANKS TO CHEMETRICS FOAL WATCH KITS!! Every breeding facility needs these!!’

‘I found this product about nine years ago and it has NEVER failed me. What I love is that it tells me when I DON’T need to stay up and watch my mares. I love being there when they foal, so thanks to this product the most I have to stay up is maybe two nights in order to be in the barn and watch the big event. A cot, a Thermos of coffee, and FoalWatch – That’s all I need!!!’

‘Last year we had 35 mares at our racehorse farm and I did not miss one birth. Another plus: Each mare was able to stay out in pasture with her buddies until the very last minute. Before I started using this product, we put mares in foaling stalls every night after they started bagging up. Sometimes it was 20+ nights. We love FoalWatch!’

‘Last year I rescued my mare from a pretty bad situation. She was very underweight, but she just had a light about her. Fast forward 6 months: We find out she’s pregnant! We were excited and scared at the same time hoping the baby would be healthy. A very good friend of mine told me about your FoalWatch test kit and how great it worked. I ordered one and we started testing about a week out from the time we thought she got pregnant. Your kit was spot on when she was about to foal. Thank God we had it and were able to be there for the birth. Indy was born with dummy foal syndrome and we had to rush her 3 hours away to a specialized care facility for a week-long stay where she thankfully survived. If it wasn’t for your kit we would not have been there for her birth and probably would have shown up that morning to a very bad situation. Thank you so much for making a great product. We will be forever grateful for our Indy!’

‘We also use your FoalWatch kits in university course titled Foaling Management; the course is for 3rd/4th year Equine Sciences students and 2nd year veterinary students. The students will collect milk samples from about 65 late-term pregnant mares, analyze calcium levels and have fun predicting when the mare(s) are likely to give birth, which they will attend. Overall, we are big fans of the FoalWatch system.’

‘I can’t say enough about this kit!! I used it twice this year and it was right on the money. I tested in the morning and the color results showed a purple shade, then I tested again at night. Low and behold the color was blue! I had my babies within 24 hours. I will be getting three more kits this year and would recommend FoalWatch to anyone who’s anxiously waiting on their special delivery.’
