Pregnancy Check

Equine, Bovine, Ovine, and Caprine Pregnancy Checks

Welcome to Full Quiver Integrative Veterinary Solutions, LLC, your trusted partner for equine, bovine, ovine, and caprine pregnancy checks. We bring knowledge, accuracy, and care to every reproductive assessment.

Understanding Pregnancy Checks for Horses, Cattle, Sheep, and Goats

Pregnancy checks confirm if your mare, cow, ewe, or doe is expecting and ensure the mother’s ongoing health during gestation. Early and accurate detection allows for optimal herd management, nutrition planning, and breeding decisions.

These checks are especially important for timely identification of pregnancies, twin situations, or reproductive challenges. By knowing your animal's pregnancy status, you can make informed management choices.

At Full Quiver Integrative Veterinary Solutions, our veterinarians use advanced diagnostic techniques, including transrectal palpation and reproductive ultrasound primarily for large animal species. Our ultrasound services are currently focused on reproductive assessments and large animal applications. This allows us to provide precise and humane pregnancy assessment services across these large animal species.

We are committed to delivering reliable pregnancy check services and surrounding communities. Our integrative approach and attention to reproductive detail set us apart and support the overall productivity of your herd or individual animals.

What to Expect During a Pregnancy Check

When you schedule a pregnancy check with our practice, our veterinarians prioritize both accuracy and animal comfort. The process is efficient, straightforward, and guided by years of experience.

Step 1: Patient History and Reproductive Evaluation

We begins with a careful review of breeding dates, prior pregnancies, and any reproductive concerns. This allows us to tailor our approach and ensures we obtain the most accurate results.

Step 2: Clinical Examination and Preparation

We perform a thorough physical exam to evaluate the animal’s overall health. Our veterinarians use gentle handling and create a calm environment, minimizing stress for your horse, cow, ewe, or doe.

Step 3: Pregnancy Detection

Depending on the species and stage, we utilize transrectal palpation or advanced ultrasound technology. This step allows us to confirm pregnancy, estimate gestational age, and check for twins or reproductive abnormalities, all while prioritizing animal welfare.

Step 4: Results, Recommendations, and Herd Management Support

We review the findings with you in detail, offering recommendations for nutrition, follow-up care, and any additional monitoring needed. You receive clear guidance so you can make confident decisions for your herd or breeding program.

Why Pregnancy Checks Matter for Your Herd or Livestock

Regular pregnancy checks deliver crucial benefits for your animals and your farm operation. Early detection simplifies herd management and helps prevent complications.

Pregnancy checks detect multiple pregnancies, non-pregnant animals, and reproductive health concerns, ensuring timely intervention. Identifying open animals allows for informed culling or rebreeding strategies.

Prompt pregnancy detection helps maximize fertility rates and economic outcomes. With each check, you invest in the health, welfare, and productivity of your animals, setting the stage for a successful breeding year.

Improved Reproductive Efficiency

Accurate pregnancy checks limit wasted resources, letting you adjust feed, care, and space allocation. This increases reproductive efficiency in cattle, horses, sheep, and goats.

Early Detection of Complications

Early assessment allows for the detection of twin pregnancies, fetal loss, or infection. Addressing these issues quickly minimizes risks and improves long-term herd health.

Healthy Animals, Better Farm Results

Monitoring pregnancies means you can provide appropriate nutrition and reduce problems around birthing. Better welfare supports healthy, productive animals and greater operation profitability.

Signs Your Animal May Need a Pregnancy Check

Timely pregnancy checks ensure you stay ahead of potential problems and optimize herd outcomes. Watch for these indicators:

• Recent breeding or planned mating
• Irregular estrous cycles or rebreeding attempts
• Concerns about weight gain or loss
• Previous reproductive challenges or losses
• Uncertainty about gestational progress

If you notice any of these signs or want confirmation of pregnancy, contact Full Quiver Integrative Veterinary Solutions. Timely, professional pregnancy checks help safeguard your animal’s health and your investment.

How Often Should Your Animal Receive a Pregnancy Check?

Most producers benefit from a routine pregnancy check 30 to 60 days after breeding. This allows for early planning, timely rebreeding, and effective herd management.

Frequency may vary by species, reproductive history, and management goals. High-value animals or those with past losses may require closer monitoring. In cattle, horses, sheep, or goats, annual or seasonal checks remain the standard best practice.

We provide individualized recommendations for equine, bovine, ovine, and caprine pregnancy checks. We tailor care to your animals and operational needs.
