Smart handheld device for automatic blood analysis: Innovative prediction of livestock pregnancy and litter size
Have you ever done a finger prick to get a few drops of blood to test your glucose level using a handheld device? Or taken a “bed-side” pregnancy test using urine and a device at the palm of your hands? We’re planning to follow the same model and develop a device that can detect pregnancy and litter size in sheep. This is a novel device in the livestock industry and can provide results within minutes. The producers would have to collect a few drops of blood (probably from an ear prick) from the sheep, get it to the detection device, and get the result on their phone.
