ABSTRACT
This comprehensive review explores the complex processes of reproduction, pregnancy establishment, and pregnancy diagnostic methods in cattle, sheep, goats, swine, horses, and camelids. It provides an overview of the history of pregnancy detection and an in-depth exploration of the physiology of pregnancy in livestock. The detection of conceptus tissue and fluids, conceptus-produced hormones, and maternal responses to conceptus signals, crucial for pregnancy diagnosis, are also discussed in detail, as are emerging methods for pregnancy diagnosis in livestock species. Overall, this review emphasizes the direct impact of pregnancy diagnosis and efficient pregnancy management for profitability of livestock enterprises.
