Star Metro - Zomedica Expands TRUFORMA(R) Diagnostic Menu with Launch of Equine Progesterone Assay

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESS Newswire / December 4, 2025 / Zomedica Corp. (OTCQB:ZOMDF) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), an animal health company offering innovative point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic device products for equine and companion animals, today announced the expansion of its TRUFORMA platform with the launch of its equine progesterone assay, designed as a powerful reproductive management tool to support breeding programs, pregnancy monitoring, and improved outcomes for horse owners.

"By introducing the TRUFORMA Progesterone assay, we are extending the TRUFORMA platform's utility from endocrine diagnostics into reproductive health, a domain of immense importance to equine veterinarians and breeders," said Michael Mockler, Senior Product Manager at Zomedica. "Reproductive efficiency is critical to horse owners, breeders, and veterinarians. By delivering fast, accurate results at the point of care, we are meeting a major unmet need while broadening the value of the TRUFORMA platform."

Market Opportunity & Rationale

The equine reproduction market is both significant and underserved in point-of-care diagnostics. In North America alone, the annual Thoroughbred foal crop has hovered around 18,500 live foals in recent years. Globally, the Thoroughbred foal crop was ~88,530 in 2019, underscoring the scale of the breeding sector which relies on tools that optimize reproductive efficiency.

Beyond Thoroughbreds, the broader equine breeding industry - including sport horses, warmbloods, and performance horses - accounts for substantially higher foal numbers annually. For example, within the American Quarter Horse sector alone, the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) registered approximately 59,655 foals in 2019, followed by a surge to about 81,213 foals in 2020. This breed constitutes one of the largest foal-crops of any single registry and signals a major expansion opportunity for reproduction diagnostics beyond the Thoroughbred segment.

Importantly, the global equine reproductive technologies market was valued at approximately $485 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $845 million by 2031, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of about 8.1% (OpenPR, 2024). This strong momentum demonstrates the rising demand for advanced reproductive tools that improve breeding outcomes and reduce costs for horse owners.

By enabling rapid, in-clinic testing, the TRUFORMA Progesterone assay helps veterinarians determine if progesterone levels are sufficient to support pregnancy and prescribe supplementation at the time of exam - directly enhancing breeding success rates and reducing wasted cycles.

Zomedica Professional Services Veterinarian Dr. Kim Keeton emphasized the clinical benefit: "In reproductive work, timing is everything. Having quantitative progesterone data on-site means you can better tailor supplementation or make timely interventions. That translates to higher pregnancy success rates, fewer cycle losses, and ultimately more efficient breeding programs."

Product Highlights & Clinical Use Cases

The TRUFORMA Progesterone assay provides:

• Immediate, in-clinic results that inform real-time breeding and pregnancy management decisions.

• Therapeutic decision-making support, including determining when exogenous progesterone therapy is necessary.

• Pregnancy monitoring to assess viability and detect potential loss early.

• Adjunct to imaging and palpation for a more complete reproductive picture.

• Economic advantages by improving foaling rates, reducing costs of unsuccessful cycles, and enhancing return on investment for breeding operations.

"Veterinarians are increasingly demanding diagnostics that reduce turnaround time and strengthen on-farm decision-making," said Ashley Wood, PhD, Zomedica's Vice President of Research & Development. "We engineered the TRUFORMA Progesterone assay to align with the TRUFORMA platform's performance standards and workflow requirements. Our goal was to integrate it seamlessly so veterinarians can adopt it easily and begin realizing immediate benefits."

Strategic Implications

The addition of the Progesterone assay strengthens the TRUFORMA platform's equine menu, extending its reach into reproduction in addition to its existing equine endocrine assays. With a growing suite including endogenous ACTH, insulin with automatic dilution, cortisol, and now progesterone, the TRUFORMA platform offers one of the most comprehensive in-clinic diagnostic toolkits available to equine veterinarians. This breadth enhances clinical relevance, increases practice efficiency, and broadens the conditions veterinarians can address at the point of care, reinforcing Zomedica's position as a leader in advanced equine on site diagnostics.
