Online published on 6 April, 2015. Abstract Predicting days required for parturition were estimated by two different formulae A and B using Bi Parital Diameter of fetuses measured by ultrasonography 40 days and above of gestation in Persian cats. The mean for actual days required for parturition was 17.31 ± 1.81. The mean for calculated days required for parturition by Formula A were 17.29 ± 1.27 days and by Formula B were. When compared numerically Formula A was found to be better than formula B. Top Keywords Parturition, persian cats, ultrasonography. Top |
