What is the WeeFoal™ Test Procedure?
The WeeFoal™ test can be performed on a urine sample collected from 120 days after mating through to expected foaling. It is not recommended to use the test before 120 days have elapsed after mating. Run the test at room temperature and in a well-lighted area. The urine sample and test pack should be at room temperature before performing the test. The urine sample must be diluted as described below. DO NOT RUN THE TEST WITH UNDILUTED URINE. When ready to perform the test, open the foil pouch and place the test cassette, 2 plastic pipettes and tube of urine diluent on a flat, clean surface. Take one of the pipettes, squeeze the upper bulb and draw enough of the urine sample into the pipette to fill the stem completely. (0.15 ml will fill the stem, and any overdrawn amount will go into the lower bulb reservoir). Discharge the urine sample from the pipette stem into the tube of urine diluent by gently squeezing the upper bulb (any excess fluid from the draw will remain in the reservoir).
