Biochemical changes in the cervical mucus of buffalo after induction of oestrus with prostaglandin F-2 alpha and cloprostenol.
Prostaglandin F-2 alpha and cloprostenol were given as an i.m. injection on Days 9 or 15 of the cycle. There was a significant decline (P less than 0.01) in the concentration of protein and activities of acid and alkaline phosphatase and peroxidase in cervical mucus after treatments, and the change was more marked in animals that responded by becoming oestrous within 4 days of treatment. Values in control animals remained steady or increased.
