چکیده

The goal of the present study was to establish the possibility for determining the foetal sex in buffaloes through a single sonographic examination. The experiment included 39 female Bulgarian Murrah buffaloes raised and fed uniformly, inseminated by natural mating during the oestrus period. All animals were subjected to ultrasonographic examinations for pregnancy via transrectal approach. The accuracy of this method to determine the sex of foetuses was established. The foetal gestation age and position were found to play a key role for the precise diagnosis. The period between gestation weeks 10–13 was the most suitable for determining the foetal sex in buffaloes of the examined breed through a single sonography exam. It is recommended to perform the evaluation in frontal position of the foetus.
