Generic Estrotect Heat Detector stickers — Pink 15-pack, self-adhesive breeding indicator for cattle, visible mounting detection

Estrotect Heat Detector stickers are self-adhesive, visible breeding indicators that reveal mounting activity to help time insemination and confirm estrus intensity.

These pink Estrotect Breeding Indicators are designed for beef and dairy operations to spot when a cow or heifer has been mounted, displaying fluorescent color where rubbing occurs. Applied once per cycle between the hip and tail head, the stickers change appearance as animals are mounted, giving a visual record of mounting frequency and intensity. Available in multiple pack sizes (5–50), they suit small farms and larger herds alike and integrate easily into AI or natural-breeding protocols.

How do these stickers show when an animal is in heat?

The Estrotect sticker uses Breeding Bullseye Technology: the adhesive label exposes brightly colored layers when rubbed during mountings. The pattern and amount of exposed fluorescent color correlate with mounting frequency, giving a straightforward visual cue without constant observation.

• Apply halfway between hip and tail head, perpendicular to the spine.
• Mounting pressure rubs through the top layer, revealing fluorescent color.
• More color exposed = more mountings = higher estrus activity.
• Single application lasts the breeding cycle, reducing handling time.

When should I apply the sticker and how long does it remain effective?

Apply one sticker per breeding cycle as cows approach expected estrus; placement is critical for accurate detection. Each sticker stays effective for the duration of the cycle and does not need daily reapplication, allowing monitoring through the full heat window.

• Place midway between hip and tail head for best sensitivity.
• Apply once per cycle—no daily replacement required.
• Works through the typical estrus period used for AI timing.
• Suitable for both dairy and beef cattle management plans.

How can Estrotect stickers improve my breeding decisions?

These indicators provide objective, visual evidence of standing heat events and mounting intensity, which helps plan insemination timing, confirm estrus, and evaluate bulls or AI program success. They reduce guesswork and the need for constant observation or labor-intensive detection methods.

• Pinpoints peak mounting times to guide insemination scheduling.
• Helps confirm whether a cow was in standing heat after the fact.
• Supports herd-level records for breeding program analysis.
• Proven performance in field trials and widespread commercial use.

What pack size should I choose for my herd?

Select a pack based on herd size and monitoring frequency—small farms can start with lower counts, while commercial operations will prefer larger packs to cover many animals or multiple cycles. Packs range from 5 to 50 stickers so you can scale without waste.

• 5–15: ideal for small herds or trialing on select animals.
• 20–35: good for medium herds with scheduled AI programs.
• 40–50: best for large herds or frequent turnover of animals.
• Buy quantities to match cycle length and staff monitoring routines.

Who is this for: Estrotect Heat Detector stickers are built for dairy and beef producers who want a low-cost, low-labor method to detect estrus intensity and improve breeding timing. They suit operations of any scale that use artificial insemination or natural breeding and need a dependable, easy-to-read visual tool for detecting standing heat and documenting mounting events.
