Sodium Hypochlorite Test for Early Pregnancy Diagnosis in Cows Promising Innovative Method

Abstract

The current study presents a pioneering scientific advancement that tackles the difficulties encountered by the agriculture sector in the timely identification of pregnancy in cattle. The primary goals of our novel urine-based pregnancy test are to minimize the occurrence of unproductive cow days, enhance productivity, optimize profitability, and provide precise and prompt outcomes. The examination relies on a unique interaction between urine and sodium hypochlorite, specifically activated inside an embryo or fetus. Our findings indicate that it is possible to identify pregnancy as early as 16 to 25 days after insemination. The sensitivity of this detection method is 97.39%, meaning that it accurately identifies pregnant cows. The specificity of the process is 73.33%, indicating that it correctly identifies non-pregnant cows. Overall, the method's accuracy is 93.33% for pregnant cows and 88% for non-pregnant cows. Our examination will be the initiation of a significant advancement, owing to its adaptability and cost-efficiency, which will render it a feasible option for breeders. This will result in reduced strain on cattle and a transformative approach to early pregnancy identification within the scientific domain.
