The aim of the present research was to evaluate the potential of blood progesterone (P4) analysis for determination of puberty onset in Bulgarian Murrah buffalo heifers. The experiment was conducted with 13 clinically healthy buffalo heifers from the Bulgarian Murrah breed, at 9 to 20 months of age. Blood samples were collected from all animals and progesterone concentrations were assayed through a commercial ELISA. The time course of blood progesterone was monitored in ascending age order and the correlation between both parameters was evaluated. | Determination of puberty onset in bulgarian Murrah buffalo heifers through blood progesterone analysis
