Evaluation of infrared thermography findings in pseudopregnant rabbit

The effectiveness of infrared thermography (IRT) in the diagnosis pseudopregnant rabbits, change these images pseudopregnancy process, and its relationship with serum progesterone (P4) level was investigated. Fourteen healthy female rabbits New Zealand breed were divided into two study groups. Pseudopregnancy induction performed first group GnRH injection (0.2 ml Buserelin acetate, intramuscularly) on 0th day (Group 1, n=7). second 2, n=7) given placebo 0.9% NaCl, intramuscularly). Rectal temperature taken from all days 0-5-10 15, eye, nasal tip, vulvar IRT applied, P4 valueswere measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. In group, temperatures eyes, nose, vulva higher 10th (p
