- Abstract
The present study was carried out in thirty Osmanabadi goats. All the 30 Osmanabadi does were subjected to synchronization of oestrus with double dose of PGF2 alpha. Fifteen does responded within 48 hrs after second dose of PGF2 alpha. All responded does were allowed for natural service. Thirteen does were confirmed as pregnant after completion of the experiment by using these three techniques. In the present experiment sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and overall accuracy of transrectal, transabdominal ultrasonography and serum progesterone was estimated and compared on day 19, 22, 26 and 35 days of gestation. Crown-Rump Length (CRL) of the foetus was measured and mean CRL on day 35 was (27.54 ± 1.02 mm) and calculated gestational age was (35.16 ± 0.40). On the basis of the results it was concluded that transrectal ultrasonography was more accurate than transabdominal and P4 assay in detection of early pregnancy on day 19 of gestation in Osmanabadi goat.
