LARGE ANIMAL METABOLIC COMPUTER Columbus Instruments has developed an indirect calorimeter for horses and cattle (Oxymax-XLM), that measures an animal's oxygen consumption and CO2 production and production of methane. The entire system utilizes an IBMPC/AT compatible computer as a system controller. The user-friendly software includes real-time graphics. Oxymax-XLM air supply can be controlled in the range of 1,000 to 15,000 liters/min. This system can be Used either with a "face mask" or with
Volume 14, Number 3, 1993
an air tight animal enclosure. Air supply to the animal which is controlled in this the wide range, allows measurements on both small or large animals, i.e., pigs which require less air, orhorses which require thousands of liters of air per minutewhile exercising on the treadmill. The principle of operation is based on differential measurement of the percentages of oxygen, C02 and methane in the ambient air and in the exhaust air from the animal mask or enclosure, plus the precise mass flow measurement of the air supplied to the animal.

SINGLE STEP EQUINE PREGNANCY TEST Endocrine Technologies announces a major breakthrough in equine reproductive technology with the advent of Equi-Check, a single-step equine pregnancy test. The test is simple, just add a few drops of serum and read the color. The test detects eCG with no interference from eLH. Test results take five minutes. Equi-Check is easy to use, a red line in the window indicates positive pregnancy, no hassle. There is a built in indicator that signals the completion of the test. Equi-Check detects eCG as early as day 35-40 of pregnancy. Each kit includes a test cassette (the size of a credit card), sample dipper and easy instructions. For pricing and technical information contact Endocrine Technologies, 4584 Leonato Way, Fremont, California 94555-2124, or phone 510 7450844.
