PS4-17. Evaluating Expression Patterns of Uterine ISG15 Post-embryo Transfer in Beef Heifers.
Early pregnancy detection in cattle is crucial to reduce the time between calving and conception and improve farm profitability. Interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) can be used as an early diagnostic marker for pregnancy establishment. Previous work has reported the expression of interferon stimulated gene 15kDa (ISG1...
