Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 22, pages 355–359 (1981)Cite this article

Abstract

Peripheral blood plasma levels of progesterone were studied in pregnant and non-pregnant reindeer. Marked differences in progesterone levels were found between pregnant and non-pregnant animals indicating that the determination of progesterone could be used as a pregnancy diagnosis test in reindeer.

Sammanfattning

Blodplasmanivån av progesteron hos dräktiga och icke dräktiga renar undersöktes. Stora skillnader i progesteronnivåer förelåg melian dräktiga och icke dräktiga djur. Analys av progesteron kan således användas för att fastställa dräktighet hos ren.
