title: Ultrasonic assessment during pregnancy in goats - a review.
abstract: Obstetric ultrasonography is the most common diagnostic approach used in veterinary reproduction because it is a simple, reliable and non-invasive imaging technique. With advances in ultrasonography of small ruminants, assessment of pregnancy in goats is challenging for accurately managing reproduction. This article presents an up-to-date review of the use of ultrasonography in pregnancy for the diagnosis and evaluation of intrauterine foetal growth in goats.
