Kamar heatmount detector
Keywords: Kamar, bovine, management, cow, estrous, cycle, detection
The Kamar device is applied to the rump of a cow with adhesive. When the cow is in standing estrus and allows another cow to mount her, a chamber containing dye is crushed, turning the device red throughout its length. Although valuable, the device is prone to false positives in crowded barns when cows are moving in or out of the building; in such cases mounting may be less specific than otherwise.
