Speed Progesterone^TMis a measure of blood progesterone, a reliable indicator for monitoring the female reproductive cycle.

Simple and fast to implement, Speed Progesterone^TMallows the practitioner to regularly and accurately monitor the heats of females thanks to a quantitative result

By offering the opportunity to predict the precise timing of ovulation, Speed Progesterone^TM increases the fertility rate while reducing the number of coverings or inseminations.

Why use Speed Progesterone ^TM?
A large individual variability complicates insemination predictions: 20% of female dogs ovulate "outside" the period between the 10th and the 14th day of heats. ⁽¹⁾ Thus, the vaginal smear, and the progesterone dosage allow for planning of covering or insemination to obtain an optimal result. Before ovulation, the progesterone level is low. At the time of the LH peak, the concentration of circulating progesterone will gradually increase to 5 to 10 ng/mL at the time of ovulation.

When to use Speed Progesterone^TM?
After pro-oestrus is monitored by smear, Speed Progesterone^TM is used to determine the optimal date of covering or insemination.
