“…Moreover, heterologous PAG tests were also useful for pregnancy diagnoses in wild ruminants, i.e. wood bison [107], moose [108], rocky mountain elk [109], white-tailed deer [110,111], mule deer [111], red deer [112], sika deer [113], fallow deer [114,115], mountain goat [116] and Alpine goats [117][118][119]. The measurement of PAG protein concentrations in maternal blood or milk of ruminants allow for 76.6-100% accuracy rates for early pregnancy diagnoses [120,121] and provide an alternative method to ultrasonography for determining late embryonic mortality [96,122].…”
