METHOD FOR DETECTING FUNCTIONAL OVARIAN STATE IN FARM ANIMALS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: veterinary science. SUBSTANCE: since the 25-30th d of puerperal period one should test the content of total cholesterol and values for albumin-globulin coefficient in blood; then one should additionally detect pH and refractometric refraction value of cervico-vaginal secrete in animals at the content of total cholesterol at the level of 5.3-7.5 mM/l and albumin-globulin coefficient ranged 1.0- 2.2 at stable immobility reflex and at pH value at the level of 5.0-6.8 and refractometric refraction value of cervico- vaginal secrete being equal to 1.3342-1.3353, and, also, at the content of surface cells with distinct nucleus at vaginal smears up to 7.5% one should diagnose the presence of functionally active follicle with mature ovicell in ovaries in cycling cows and conclude upon favorable conditions for fertilization. The method enables to diagnose functional ovarian state in female farm animals under conditions of farms and detect heat and ovulation in ruminants more accurately. EFFECT: higher accuracy and efficiency of detection. 1 ex, 4 tbl
