Summary
Ultrasonography aids in early pregnancy diagnosis for various animals, from mares at 14 days to cows at 25 days. This technology also enhances the detection of uterine pathologies in mares, bitches, and queens.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Reproductive Biology
Background:
- Ultrasonography is a valuable tool in veterinary gynaecology.
- Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for reproductive management and animal health.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current applications of ultrasonography in gynaecological examinations.
- To highlight its utility in pregnancy diagnosis and pathological condition identification across various species.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature and clinical applications of ultrasonography in animal reproduction.
- Focus on diagnostic capabilities for pregnancy and uterine diseases.
Main Results:
- Pregnancy diagnosis timelines established for mares (day 14), cows (day 25/26), small ruminants (day 35), sows (day 28/30), bitches (day 25/28), and queens (day 20/25).
- Ultrasonography significantly improves the diagnosis of uterine pathologies in mares, bitches, and queens.
- Ovulation control using ultrasonography is increasingly important in mares for artificial insemination.
Conclusions:
- Ultrasonography is a versatile diagnostic modality in veterinary gynaecology.
- Its application in pregnancy detection and disease diagnosis is well-established across multiple species.
- The scope of ultrasonography in veterinary gynaecology is expected to expand further.
