| Summary: | (r = .46). A 71% pregnancy rate (10 of 14) was achieved. adjunct to cervical assessment by palpation in cycling mares. by cervical score were highly correlated (r = .86). Cervical changes in the monographic appearance of the cervix. The cycle, and at 24-h intervals during the periovulatory period. day 12 postovulation was 2.85 cm and 3.43 cm, respectively. diameter and discernability of the endometrial-myometrial diameter was best correlated with the ultrasound rating diestrus and proestrus beginning on day 10 of the estrous examine the efficacy of ultrasound for the evaluation of the examined by palpation and ultrasound at 48h intervals during follicular status, and cervical characteristics. The found to have its greatest correlation with cervical diameter Fourteen mares, 6 Arabians and 8 Thoroughbreds, were used to In this study, cervical echography was shown to be a useful junction. A five-point cervical score was developed based on mare's cervix during the estrous cycle. Within a 125-day Mares were bred by artificial insemination at 48-h intervals mean cervical diameter for pregnant and non-pregnant mares on Mean progesterone concentrations for days 0, 6, and 12 monographic image was taken and analyzed for reflectance by observed characteristics. A photograph of each cervical on day 12 which was accompanied by loss of cervical tone and ovulation while the uterus was found to be most flaccid on palpation. Ultrasound was used to evaluate the reproductive period during the physiologic breeding season, mares were post-ovulation and analyzed for progesterone. Cervical pregnant mares had progesterone concentrations below.30 ng/ml relaxation was found to be greatest on the day before system (cervical score) (r = .68) and cervical density was the day of ovulation. Cervical evaluation by palpation and tract, noting the presence of uterine fluid and/or edema, ultrasound exam of the cervix included observations of until ovulation was detected. During each examination, uterine tone and cervical characteristics were determined by video densitometry. Blood was collected on days 0, 6, and 12 were.24,13.15 and 11.41 ng/ ml, respectively.
