Abstract
Plasma oestrone sulphate (E1S) concentration and doppler ultrasound as methods of pregnancy diagnosis in sows were compared. Using either method, pregnancy was accurately detected (test sensitivity > 94% for pregnant sows). E1S was a better predictor of nonpregnant animals (test specificity 78 vs 66%, respectively; P < 0.01) and could be used at least 1 wk earlier than doppler ultrasound (24 to 30 d vs 35 d postservice, respectively). E1S concentration was not an accurate predictor of litter size.
