Many methods can be used for pregnancy detection depending on the species, age of pregnancy, cost, accuracy, and speed of diagnosis. The purpose of each method used in pregnancy examinations is to determine the pregnancy status with 100% accuracy, especially in the Watubangga and Toari areas, which breeders are still applying traditional methods, which this detection method can reduce costs, time and effort, especially this detection method relatively cheap and easy to do.
