Summary

Four semiquantitative milk progesterone tests were evaluated for accuracy. While high and low progesterone levels were detected with good accuracy, intermediate levels, crucial for reproductive diagnosis, showed lower accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Reproductive Biology
  • Dairy Science

Background:

  • Accurate monitoring of progesterone levels in dairy cows is essential for reproductive management.
  • Semiquantitative milk progesterone tests offer a potentially convenient alternative to laboratory-based assays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of four commercially available semiquantitative milk progesterone tests.
  • To compare the performance of these tests against a quantitative laboratory assay.

Main Methods:

  • Four semiquantitative milk progesterone tests were used on 64 milk samples (1556 assays).
  • Tests were performed by multiple individuals using codified samples and varying sequences.
  • Results were compared to a quantitative laboratory progesterone test (Hormonost).

  • Clinical reproductive status was considered for 48 animals.

    • Main Results:

    • High progesterone levels (≥9 ng/ml) were classified correctly in 84.4–96.5% of cases.
    • Low progesterone levels (≤2.5 ng/ml) were classified correctly in 68.8–90.0% of cases.
    • Intermediate progesterone levels (2.5–9 ng/ml) showed lower correct classification rates (42.1–52.6%).

    Conclusions:

    • Semiquantitative milk progesterone tests demonstrate variable accuracy, particularly for intermediate progesterone levels.
    • The accuracy of these tests for detecting subtle reproductive states may be limited.
    • Further validation is needed for veterinary practitioners relying on these tests for critical reproductive diagnoses.
