KAMAR Heatmount Detectors
 KAMAR Heatmount Detectors have been sold in New Zealand since 1992. Many New Zealand dairy farmers use them, especially for large herds where more than one person manages heat detection during the spring. They provide a simple, easy to interpret and accurate method of heat detection.
How Do They Work ?
 |
Inside each KAMAR Heatmount detector is a tube filled with a red dye (see left). |
| You simply glue a detector onto the skin covering the tail bone of each cow (see illustration). Glue is provided with the detectors. When a cow wearing a KAMAR heatmount is mounted by a herdmate, constant pressure from the brisket of the mounting animal turns the detector red - bright enough to be seen from a distance. Three seconds of constant pressure is needed to release enough dye to turn the detector red identifying a true heat. This leaves a visible indication that the cow stood to be ridden and therefore is ready to mate. |

When using a KAMAR detector, you should always watch for other signs of heat to confirm that a red KAMAR resulted from a standing heat.
