Urinary Oestrogen Excretion in the Goat During the Oestrous Cycle and after Administration of Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotrophin (PMSG)

Abstract

Two goats were placed in cages constructed for urine collection. Samples were taken daily and stored in the frozen state until analysis. The urine was processed according to a method designed for determination of oestrone and oestradiol-17 α in bovine urine (Lunaas unpublished).
