Pregnancy detection is an essential thing to do after cattle are mated. In general, early pregnancy detection is needed regarding identifying animals that are not pregnant immediately after natural mate or artificial mate, so that production time is lost because infertility can be suppressed by proper handling such as livestock must be sold or dialing (cut).
