The proper superficial cells contents being not greater than 7.5% and bare nuclei and their shadows being not greater than 1.3% , preovulation period of the sexual cycle is to be diagnosed and conclusions are made concerning favorable conditions for cow fertilization. The proper superficial cells contents being not greater than 7.5% and bare nuclei and their shadows being within the limits of 3.1-8.5% , pregnancy period is to be diagnosed and conclusions are made concerning favorable conditions for fetus development. The proper superficial cells contents being not greater than 7.5% and bare nuclei and their shadows being within the limits of 17.8-30.0%, pregnancy period is to be diagnosed and conclusions are made concerning disorders being available.
