The instrumental method of pregnancy and infertility diagnosis in cattle: Age-wise efficiency

Abstract

Background and Aim. This article shows the results of the effectiveness of an instrumental method for diagnosing pregnancy and infertility of cows, taking into account the age of the animals. Due to changes in the body of animals of different ages, it is necessary to pay attention to the specifics of the work on the diagnosis of pregnancy and infertility.

Materials and Methods. Research work was carried out in 3 farms. The determination of pregnancy in animals is carried out using clinical and biophysical studies. The device "Pregnancy diagnosis" was used for the instrumental diagnostic method.

Results. The effectiveness of an instrumental diagnostic method has been revealed, which allows to diagnose pregnancy and infertility of cows with high accuracy in the conditions of livestock farms in veterinary medicine, paying attention to the results in cows of different ages. The effectiveness of the instrumental method in the diagnosis of cows under the age of 2 years, 3-5 years of pregnancy is 83%, infertility is 84.6%; and in cows older than 5 years of pregnancy is 79.6%, infertility is 63.6%. The determination of pregnancy of cows showed an error of 7%, and the determination of infertility-3.3%.

Conclusion. There are many methods for early detection of pregnancy in cows, but the most accurate and common are ultrasound and rectal palpation. These methods are safe and effective for diagnosing pregnancy in cattle. Although ultrasound may be more expensive, in this regard, our research shows the results of an instrumental method for diagnosing pregnancy.
