  • Title: [The applicability of a detection method independent of a laboratory for progesterone in the blood plasma of mares (Hygia progesterone test)].
    Author: Hohenhaus MU.
    Journal: Tierarztl Prax; 1990 Aug; 18(4):401-5. PubMed ID: 2219109.
    Abstract:
    A rapid progesterone assay for cow's milk was checked as to whether it was applicable to mares' blood plasma. The "Hygia Progesterone-Test" is an on-farm test which serves for qualitative analysis. It is generally unusable for mares' plasma but sufficiently precise only in cases of larger or smaller progesterone levels. In cases of moderate amounts of progesterone the test is imprecise. The test can be carried out quickly and easily, but the preparation of blood samples takes more time than preparation of milk samples. The test can be recommended for usage in veterinary practice only, but not for animal owners.
