Characterization of pregnancy-associated glycoproteins and progesterone as a predictor of twins and conceptus loss in high-risk pregnancy Holstein cows
Pregnancy loss is a multifactorial condition that compromises reproductive performance in dairy operations. Despite the high oocyte fertilization rate in dairy cows, only 28 % of those maintain a pregnancy to term. Pregnancy loss is estimated to cost U$600.00 per case. Identification of cows losing …
