The sensitivity and specificity of three pregnancy-associated glycoprotein ELISA assays and factors affecting test accuracy in South African dairy cows

The ruminant trophoblast produces pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (BPAGs) starting at day 25 after conception and continuing until parturition. These glycoproteins are detectable in the blood and milk of pregnant females and can be used to diagnose and monitor pregnancy in cattle, small stock and...
