Abstract:
Early detection of pregnancy gives breeders, veterinarians, and researchers the necessary information to improve prenatal care, improve the condition of postnatal lambs and kids and increases production efficiency in small ruminants. In this study, it was aimed to compare and evaluate the accuracy of Bio-RPD rapid visual pregnancy test and transabdominal scanning in determining pregnancy status in 64 goats. The obtained results showed that Bio-RPD visual is more accurate than ultrasound scanning at 30 days of pregnancy. Both tests have the same results and accuracy at 45 days of pregnancy. We recommended that BioRPD visual test is a useful, rapid, and accurate tool for early pregnancy diagnosis at the 30th day of pregnancy. Transabdominal scanning could be used as a useful tool for pregnancy diagnosis in goats and small ruminants at 45 days of pregnancy.
