Diagnosing this parasite can be difficult, as there are no outward signs or symptoms that the bull is infected; the “silent thief” as it’s termed. And until recently, standard testing methods with glass tubes & screw tops combined with muddy farm conditions are cumbersome to say the least. But vets like Dr. Mike all across the country have found a simpler way to keep this silent thief out of their herds and increase calving rates with the InPouchⓇ TF for bovine trich testing.

The InPouchⓇ device combines all the steps of Trichomonas testing in one device: Collect, Transport, and observe T. foetus without replating or using wet mount slides.  

The fully enclosed, flexible format makes the InPouchⓇ the most functional and accurate Trichomonas test on the market.

Dr. Mike says that prior testing methods pale in comparison to the ease of use and durability found in the InPouchⓇ.

“It’s so easy. I put the sample in the pouch, put them in a folder, and send them off to the lab. Bing, Bang, Bongo.”

The nutritive Gold Standard Media inside the InPouchⓇ  stimulates growth of the trich parasite while in transit- making observation for lab personnel so easy, it’s no wonder 26 state labs request it in their protocol.

Collect the sample from the bull and inoculate the pouch

 1.Open

2. Inoculate

3. Incubate according to IFU and ship to lab

Or:

Observe directly on microscope if you have an in-house lab
