About this test
Reliable Pregnancy Screening
Pregnancy can be difficult to assess during the early stages without veterinary examination. The Early Pregnancy Test for Horses offers a practical way to screen mares after breeding, providing additional reassurance before routine veterinary follow-up. The simple urine-based format allows testing directly at the stable, making it suitable for both individual horse owners and breeding operations.
Simple and Easy to Use
The test is designed for straightforward sample collection and clear visual interpretation, with results available within 10–20 minutes. No specialised equipment or laboratory processing is required, allowing testing to be carried out whenever it is most convenient.
Supporting Breeding Decisions
Early knowledge of pregnancy status can help owners and breeders plan feeding, housing and breeding management more effectively. Identifying whether a mare is likely pregnant allows informed decisions about ongoing care while reducing unnecessary handling and transport.
Designed for Everyday Stable Use
Developed specifically for equine urine samples, the test is intended for convenient use in the stable environment. Its simple procedure makes pregnancy screening accessible without the need for blood collection or immediate veterinary visits.
Key Benefits
Non-invasive: Uses a simple urine sample without blood collection.
Quick Results: Results available within 10–20 minutes.
Easy to Perform: No specialised equipment or laboratory processing required.
Convenient: Can be performed directly at the stable.

Biomarkers included
- Estrone sulfate: Estrone sulfate is a naturally occurring estrogen metabolite and a stable form of estrogen found in the body. Its levels increase during pregnancy, making it a useful biomarker for pregnancy-related assessments in both human and veterinary medicine.
How to prepare
1. Collect a fresh morning urine sample from the mare, preferably midstream, in a clean container. The test is intended for use from approximately 50 days after breeding. 2. If the sample has been refrigerated, allow it to reach room temperature before testing. 3. Using the supplied dropper, add 6 drops of urine to the sample well (S) on the test cassette. 4. Place the cassette on a flat surface and read the result after 10–20 minutes. Do not interpret results after 20 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is a urine test compared to a veterinary ultrasound?
Veterinary ultrasound remains the standard method for confirming and evaluating pregnancy, particularly during the early stages. This urine test is intended as a convenient screening tool from approximately 50 days after breeding by detecting estrone sulfate in urine. If the result is unexpected or clinical concerns remain, veterinary examination is recommended.
Can I use this test before 50 days post-breeding?
No. The test is intended for use from approximately 50 days after breeding, when estrone sulfate levels are typically high enough to be detected in urine. Testing earlier may result in a false negative because hormone concentrations may still be too low.
How do I collect a clean urine sample from a mare?
Collect a fresh morning urine sample, preferably midstream, in a clean container. Avoid contamination and allow refrigerated samples to reach room temperature before testing.
Can this test tell me if the foal is still alive?
No. This test is designed to screen for pregnancy by detecting estrone sulfate in urine. It is not intended to assess fetal viability or replace veterinary examination. If there are concerns about the pregnancy, a veterinarian should be consulted.
