Cattle pregnancy detection, reimagined.
Millibolt Healthtech is developing a rapid, non-invasive diagnostic kit to detect pregnancy in cattle through urine analysis. No lab infrastructure or expertise required.
Who We Are
Early Stage Biotech Innovation Solving a Real Farm Problem
Current methods are costly, stressful & inaccessible
Rectal palpation, ultrasound, and blood-based testing all require veterinary professionals and specialized equipment, making pregnancy detection costly, stressful for bovine, and logistically demanding for most operations.
Building a Point-of-care detection at the farm gate
MilliTest leverages a proven lateral flow assay platform with a proprietary urine-based biomarker. Designed to deliver reliable pregnancy detection results at the point of care, within minutes, with no specialist required.
~9M
Cattle in Canada
A largely underserved market for affordable, at-farm pregnancy diagnostics
<5 min
Target test time
Rapid results with no lab equipment or veterinary expertise required.
LFA
Lateral Flow Assay Technology
Proven diagnostic technology for the point of care – no lab, no specialist, no delay.
Millitest - How It Works
Urine Collection
A small urine sample is collected from the bovine non-invasively no handling stress, no specialist required on-site.
Proprietary Assay
The lateral flow strip detects a pregnancy-associated marker using antibody-based chemistry under active research development.
Clear Visual Readout
A simple line-based result readable by any farm operator, confirms pregnancy status within minutes, at the point of care.
From lab bench to farm gate.
Co-developed with the University of Guelph and supported by an OMAFA grant, our research roadmap takes Millitest from biomarker discovery through to a field-validated commercial product.
Current Stage (3 — Development): Active assay development, antibody characterisation, and preliminary sensitivity/specificity testing in collaboration with the University of Guelph Veterinary Sciences department.
Funding & Partnerships
Backed by government & academia.
Millitest has received a research grant from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA) — validating the scientific merit and market potential of our approach. Our R&D partnership with the University of Guelph provides access to veterinary science expertise, biomarker discovery facilities, and field trial networks.
