Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for detection schemes for ascertaining pregnancy status of an animal. The compositions and methods employ interferon-tau (IFNT) and/or antibodies specific for IFNT. Methods of the present invention detect the presence of IFNT in samples obtained from animals as an early indicator of pregnancy. Methods are provided to identify non-pregnant animals so that management decisions regarding rebreeding can be made earlier compared to existing approaches.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of improving the success rate of impregnating a female cow comprising:\n breeding said female cow; obtaining a sample from a female cow said breeding, wherein the collection of said sample is timed to correspond to the predicted production of IFNT by a conceptus produced by said breeding; determining whether interferon tau (IFNT) is present in said sample, wherein said determining is performed by contacting the with a purified antibody specific for IFNT and detecting whether binding occurs between said antibody and IFNT; diagnosing a female cow as not pregnant (NP) if IFNT was determined not to be present in said sample; and performing an additional breeding of said female cow determined to be NP.
