Accurate timing of mating is crucial for canine fertility. Measuring progesterone levels helps determine the optimal ovulation period, improving breeding success and diagnosing reproductive issues.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Reproductive Biology

Context:

  • Fertility issues in canines are multifactorial, stemming from husbandry, anatomy, hormones, and infections.
  • Mating at inappropriate times is a primary contributor to canine fertility problems.

Purpose:

  • To review causes of canine fertility problems and discuss diagnostic methods.
  • To highlight the importance of accurate oestrus cycle timing for successful breeding.

Summary:

  • Progesterone level monitoring is a reliable method to determine the canine ovulation period and optimize mating time.
  • Cystic endometrial hyperplasia, hormonal imbalances, and infectious agents like herpes virus and Brucella canis are significant causes of canine sterility.
  • Bromocriptine can be used to induce oestrus in cases without diagnosed abnormalities.
