Can Gestational Age be Determined by Placentome Diameter, Placentome Blood Flow Pixel Area and Progesterone Concentration During Pregnancy in Kivircik Ewes?

The information obtained about the gestational age allows ewes to be grouped and fed with appropriate rations for pregnancy. The aims of this study are to evaluate the relationship between placentome diameter (PD), placentome blood flow pixel area (PBFPA) and progesterone (P4) concentrations during...
