摘要
Sequential ultrasonograms of both ovaries were taken once a day in six postpartum Jersey cows with B-mode Ultrasound Scanner and the concentrations of progesterone in peripheral circulation of the cows were measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The whole texture of the previous pregnant corpus luteum was clearly identified during the process of its regressing. The ppCL could be identified for a mean of 17±12.96 days with a range of 4 to 42 days. There were no significant correlation between the time that the ppCL could be identified and both the times to the first postpartum ovulation and the peripheral progesterone concentration.
