Accuracy of transrectal ultrasonography: In estimating the gestational age of Jamnapari goats

The precise identification of early pregnancy in farm animals especially small ruminants, plays a significant role in the effective reproductive management of the herd. Early pregnancy diagnosis and foetal measurements of Jamnapari does were carried out using a transrectal probe of B-mode real-tim...
