Summary:

In seventeen Murciano‑Granadina goats, early pregnancy diagnosis and estimation of number of embryos have been assessed by transrectal ultrasonography with a 7.5 MHz probe, between days 10 and 40 after estrous. On day 11, 14.3% of pregnancies can be detected, which increasses to 71.2% on day 18 and 100% on day 24. The number of embryos can be determined from day 19 on, though 100% efficiency is only attained after day 30 of gestation.
