Description
Summary:Forty-two goats maintained at the university sheep breeding farm (SBF) Alusteng were tested for pregnancy using a medata type of ultrasonic equipment, with a rectal probe, working on `Doppler principle'. Out of the 32 goats predicted pregnant, 25 goats delivered normally, showing an overall accuracy of 78.1%. The accuracy of different sounds audible for predicting pregnancy was 100%, 100% and 72% for foetal heart beats (FHB), umbilical blood flow (UBF) and middle uterine artery sounds (MUAS), respectively.
