Extra Details:: Progesterone (P4) plays a central role in reproductive events associated with the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in all mammals.4 In the ewe, P4 is synthesized by the corpus luteum during the first 50 d of pregnancy, and then by the placenta until term.6 P4 is needed during early embryonic development for implantation and placentation, insufficient P4 concentrations can lead to failure of pregnancy and early embryonic loss.5 P4 concentrations in plasma have been used not only to determine the pregnancy status of the animal but also to predict the number of fetuses by monitoring the dam in the second half of the pregnancy.8 Thus, the determination of serum or plasma P4 concentrations in sheep is important not only for the early diagnosis of pregnancy, but also to evaluate the number of carried lambs by means of a significant positive correlation with the P4 concentration.2 Many laboratories use radioimmunoassays (RIAs) for the quantification of plasma P4,8,10,11 but RIA, although very sensitive, is expensive and requires the availability of specialized laboratories and personnel.
