Summary

A handheld HEARD e-preg device, developed through an MLA Donor Company* (MDC) funded project has, at the time of this report, not been able to reach the MLA required accuracy for use by the Australian beef cattle industry.

The project, funded collaboratively through the MDC with Heard Systems Pty Ltd, began in 2009 and aimed to develop a handheld ECG non-invasive pregnancy diagnosis device. MDC investment has been put on hold whilst HEARD explore e-preg's future options and alternative approaches.
