This project describes the development and validation of a simple blood test for pregnancy detection in camels that can be performed safely, efficiently, and reliably at the point of capture. A simple method for obtaining blood from the jugular or facial vein of a camel and then analysing the serum or plasma for progesterone levels using a portable immunoassay analyser (miniVIDAS®) is described. This method both improves handler safety and the accuracy of pregnancy detection in camels.
