Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the determination of chorionic gonadotropin (CG), luteinizing hormone (LH) or CG-like material of a hormone from animals by means of contacting the animal urine with an agent capable of selectively binding said hormone, providing a means for indicating at least whether said binding has taken place and observing said indicating means to determine the presence of said hormone in the urine. The invention also relates to an apparatus comprising a catheter divided into at least a first section and a second section, said first section having an inlet for the urine and said second section encompassing a testing means. By using a catheter as mentioned, a very efficient and fast method is obtained of testing the animals. A catheter to be inserted directly into the urethra of the animal will ease and expedite the testing of husbandry animals in relation to determination of possible pregnancy. Also, insertion of a catheter directly into the urethra may be performed by a non-professional person in relation to testing of animals. The possible pregnacy of the animal may be established at a very early state of any possible pregnancy.
