Monitoring ovarian function in scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah) by measurement of fecal 20α-progestagen metabolites

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430140305.abs The feasibility of monitoring ovarian function in scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah) by measurement of fecal 20α-progestagens was investigated. Fecal samples were collected daily or on alternate days over a 4–11 month period from five oryx during natural (n = 4) or synthetic PGF2α (cloprostenol)-controlled (n = 1) cycles. Of the four oryx undergoing […]
