Studies on Reproductive Status of Mare on Concentration of Antimullerian Hormone and Its Association with Progesterone

Abstract

Aims: Evaluating antimullerian hormone level in mares with different reproductive status and its association with progesterone. Place and Duration of Study: College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Sardarkrushinagar and Dr. V. M. Jhala Veterinary Clinical Complex, Deesa, between November- 2022 to July-2023. Methodology: Total 40 mares were selected having different reproductive status including season, age and follicle size. Total of 40 serum samples were utilized for progesterone assay and antimullerian hormone using ELISA kit (Genetix Biotech Asia Pvt. LTD.). Total of 40 serum samples were utilized for AMH using Enzyme linked Immunosorbent assay kit (Cloud-Clone Corp., USA). Results: The level of AMH & P4 (ng/ml) in pregnancy, estrus, diestrus and transition differed highly significantly (P < 0.01) between groups. The level of AMH & P4 (ng/ml) in pregnancy vs cyclic mare was differed highly significantly (P<0.01). No any age effect was found within these hormonal levels. AMH level was found significantly (P<0.01) higher with the increasing size of follicles. No any seasonal effect was found on both the hormonal levels. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this was the pioneer study, evaluated both the hormones are different reproductive status along with their correlation. As there are very meagre studies carried out, further investigations are required to evaluate both these hormones along with their fertility status.
