These fuchsia (pink) heat detectors use a scratch-off surface that rubs away under pressure, exposing a fluorescent color within seconds of effective mounting. Durable and easy to apply, they support artificial insemination and embryo-transfer programs by helping you identify candidates for breeding without constant individual observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do Estrotect patches show a cow has been mounted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe patches have a rub-away surface that removes when friction occurs from mounting, revealing a bright fuchsia color underneath. A single, forceful mount can expose color in as little as three seconds, creating an obvious visual cue for staff checking animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScratch-off top layer that rubs away under pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFluorescent fuchsia core that contrasts with cow hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResponse time: color exposure possible in ~3 seconds of mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the best way to apply and secure the patch for reliable results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm the detector to about 100°F (38°C) before placing it to activate the adhesive and help it grip through cooler weather. Brush and then clean the hair along the backbone near the tailhead, place the patch perpendicular to the spine between the hip and tailhead, and press firmly to ensure full contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWarm patches to body temperature for immediate adhesion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrush with the grain and wipe with a cleaning cloth to remove debris\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePosition patches high on the tailhead to reduce tail-flick loss when flies are present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will a patch stay attached, and what conditions affect longevity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstrotect patches are built to remain on the animal for up to eight weeks under normal farm conditions. Longevity depends on factors such as weather, grooming, rubbing, and fly pressure; proper prep and placement increase the chances the detector stays put until it serves its purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTypical adhesion duration: up to 8 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh fly activity or heavy rubbing can shorten wear time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular visual checks help catch early color exposure or premature loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan these patches be used with AI and embryo-transfer programs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes—Estrotect patches are designed as a management aid for both artificial insemination and embryo-transfer recipients. They provide objective mounting evidence to help schedule insemination attempts or to identify prime recipients for embryo procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks as an objective visual record for heat detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports timely insemination decisions for AI programs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps monitor recipients in embryo-transfer workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: Estrotect 50 ct Pink is intended for dairy and beef producers, herd managers, and veterinarians who need a cost-effective, low-maintenance tool to spot standing heat across multiple cows. It’s especially useful on operations that combine routine herd checks with timed breeding programs, where visual proof of mounting improves breeding timing and coordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How fast does the color show when a cow is mounted?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Color can appear in about 3 seconds of effective mounting, giving fast visual confirmation of activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How should I prepare the animal before applying the patch?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Warm the patch, brush hair along the backbone, and wipe the area clean for best adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Estrotect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54208470581432,"sku":"B004ZQ57SU","price":187.94,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0636\/7416\/files\/estrotect-fuchsia-application-on-cow.jpg?v=1790663693","url":"https:\/\/canadianlawn.ca\/products\/estrotect-heat-detection-patches-50-ct-pink-scratch-off-fuchsia-markers-fast-mount-response","provider":"Canadian Lawn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
