An Investigation into the Use of Salivary Progesterone to Diagnose Pregnancy in Sheep
نویسندگان
چکیده
Use of salivary progesterone for pregnancy diagnosis The concentration of steroid hormones in a female animal are an indicator of reproductive status. Progesterone enters the saliva via passive diffusion from the salivary glands. The level of progesterone present in the saliva of the horse and man can be used to diagnose pregnancy by use of an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay [ELISA] (Smith, 2005, Kaufman and Lamster, 2002). Therefore, it was reasonable to suppose that the same might be applicable for sheep.
