Lotek’s Vaginal Implant Transmitters are designed to indicate when birthing has occurred in species such as deer, bison, elk, bighorn sheep and pronghorn. The transmitter is implanted into the vaginal tract during gestation and will be expelled when parturition occurs.
VITs can be used on their own or part of a system with satellite birth alert capability. Operating life can vary depending on application and study needs and objectives. Please contact one of our Telemetry Specialists to discuss your study needs.
Recruitment and population estimate analysis, reproductive rates, fawn survival rates.
