PERBANDINGAN ANTARA DUA HASIL DIAGNOSIS KEBUNTINGAN DENGAN KIT PROGESTERON SUSU PADA KAMBING BETINA PERANAKAN ETAWAH

COMPARISON OF TWO PREGNANCY TEST RESULTS USING MILK PROGESTERONE KITS IN ETAWAH CROSS GOATSABSTRACTThis study aims to compare the effectiveness of the milk progesterone kits in two different diagnosis schedules namely at day 18 to 22 and day 40 to 44 following service. This research used 8 lactating Ettawa cross goats with the age of between 2 to 2.5 years old and their average weight were 30 kgs. One buck was used in this experiment at the age of between 4 to 4.5 years old and its weight was roughly 70 kgs. All goats were subject to oestrus synchronisation protocol using progesterone implant followed by prostaglandin administration. At oestrous detection, only 4 out of 8 female goats showed oestrous signs and one female goats was in oestrous naturally. Early pregnancy diagnosis using the milk progesterone kits were carried out in 5 goats. The result of this study showed that the accuracy of the kits for early pregnancy diagnosis protocol could reach 100% for a non-pregnant status. It can be concluded that the repeated pregnancy diagnosis schedule at day 40-44 following service was not necessarily recomended for a field practices.Keywords : Etawah Goats, Estrous Synchronization, CIDR-G, Progesterone
