Peripheral plasma progesterone concentration in zebu (Bos indicus) cows during pregnancy.
Plasma progesterone concentrations were determined weekly during gestation averaging 283 +/- 2 d in Ethiopian zebu (Bos indicus) cows. Mean progesterone levels increased from 0.2 +/- 0.1 ng/ml at oestrus (service) to 3.1 +/- 1.6 ng/ml on d 7 and 8.1 +/- 2.1 ng/ml on d 21. Progesterone levels remained elevated throughout pregnancy. Hormone concentration differed significantly between cows (P les...
متن کاملEfficacy of pregnancy specific protein B assay to predict pregnancy and pregnancy rate in sheep
Most North Dakota sheep production scenarios require substantially more resources, such as feed, labor, and facilities during late gestation and lactation. Early identification of pregnancy and pregnancy rate in sheep provides managers several options to increase flock productivity. First, removal of non-pregnant ewes can increase available resources for pregnant ewes. Second, identification of...
متن کاملInfluence of progesterone withdrawal on pregnancy-related parameters during post-implantation early pregnancy loss.
Pharmacologically-induced luteolysis or treatment with an antiprogestin in early post-implantation pregnancy in dogs results in asynchronous death and resorption of conceptuses, indicating variable rates of response of individual conceptuses towards progesterone deficiency. This variability also seems to occur in bitches showing pregnancy failure in response to spontaneous luteal deficiency. In...
متن کاملPlasma progesterone and oestrogens in sheep during late pregnancy: contribution of the maternal adrenal and ovary.
Levels of progesterone were determined by competitive protein-binding techniques and oestrogens by radio-ligand binding techniques in the uterine and peripheral plasma of parturient ewes. Uterine progesterone levels began a continuous decline 4 to 5 days ante partum whereas jugular levels only declined 1 or 2 days ante partum. Peripheral plasma progesterone levels were significantly elevated in
متن کاملRelationship between pregnancy rate and serum progesterone concentration in cases of porcine embryo transfer
The level of P4 at the time of embryo transfer (ET) is important. P4 concentrations and numbers of corpora lutea for 126 recipients were evaluated. Nuclear transfer embryos were transferred into 126 surrogates. 11 maintained their pregnancy until full-term delivery, 17 miscarried, and implantation failed in 98 animals. P4 levels in the full-term group were significantly different from those of ...
