Quote: “SurBred 15 is an early detection pregnancy test that is designed to determine pregnancy status sooner than traditional methods and before the end of the cow's 21-day estrous cycle, thereby enabling herd managers to artificially inseminate cows twice, not just once, during the same cycle if the cow is not pregnant.”
How we checked this
Checked on September 30, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The filing says the test lets herd managers inseminate a cow twice within the same 21-day estrous cycle. It does not say twice daily, so that part of the claim misstates the source.
Confirmed in the source:
- SurBred 15 is an early detection pregnancy test for dairy cows
- SurBred 15 is designed to determine pregnancy status before the end of the cow's 21-day estrous cycle
- SurBred 15 enables herd managers to artificially inseminate a non-pregnant cow twice during the same cycle
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- SurBred 15 enables twice-daily artificial insemination attempts
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of SEC EDGAR (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1167419/000107997304000468/aspenbio_sb2.txt) in full (272,234 characters, retrieved September 27, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
