$6 vs. $90 Per Sow – Why Urine Test Strips Are a No-Brainer for Routine Herd Screening

Brian Martinez's math highlights the undeniable economic advantage of this kit: "Vet charges $75 per farm visit plus $15 per sow for ultrasound. This kit costs about $6 per test. For routine screening, it's a no-brainer. Vet only comes for problem cases now."

For commercial operations, the savings multiply exponentially. The PawsXfun Pig Pregnancy Test Kit uses a simple urine sample and provides results in 5-15 minutes, detecting estrogen—a reliable pregnancy marker in sows -1-2.

Cost comparison per sow:



Item Vet Ultrasound PawsXfun Urine Test
Farm call fee $75+ $0
Per-sow test $15–$25 ~$6
Time per sow 10–15 minutes 5 minutes
Stress to animal Moderate (restraint) Low (urine collection)

Brian noted it's ideal for "routine screening," allowing you to reserve vet resources for complex cases. This kit makes regular testing economically viable, helping you make faster breeding decisions and maximize productivity.
