Abstract

Peripheral blood plasma levels of progesterone were studied in pregnant and non-pregnant reindeer. Marked differences in progesterone levels were found between pregnant and non-pregnant animals indicating that the determination of progesterone could be used as a pregnancy diagnosis test in reindeer.

Keywords: reindeer, progesterone, pregnancy diagnosis test
