1. What does the immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics represent?
Immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics is the complex of rabbit antibodies against chorionic gonadotropin and the dye alizarin.
The principle of diagnostics consists of qualitative finding sexual hormone in cattle urine – chorionic gonadotropin in immunological hormone reaction (antigen) - antibodies against chorionic gonadotropin.
Blood analysis of domestic cattle in different physiological stages: springing (during the whole period) and barrenness testifies that the content of chorionic gonadotropin in blood serum of domestic cattle during the whole springing period varies from 3.30±0.19 up to 8.42±1.36 ME/I, while barrenness animals don’t have such hormone. The maximum concentration of chorionic gonadotropin is in the third month of springing and is 8.42±1.36 ME/I. The investigations of the hormone content of different age and breeds of animals don’t show the differences of the chorionic gonadotropin level in comparative age and breeds aspects. Therefore, qualitive and quantative determination of chorionic gonadotropin may be the basis for early springing diagnostics of domestic cattle and the hormone may be the marker of springing. According to organoleptic properties, physical-chemical and biological indicators preparation should correspond to the following requirements:

3. Where was the Immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics worked out and tested?
Immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics was worked out in Ulyanovsk State Agricultural Academy by the group of scientists and engineers which has the state “The Leading Scientific School of Ulyanovsk Region” by the results of 2009 in the field of science “Biology, Agricultural Sciences, Technologies of Living Systems”. There are two Doctors of Biology, eight PhD of Biology and Veterinary in Scientific School.
The leader of Scientific School is Vasilyev Dmitry Arkadyevich, Doctor of Biology, Professor, the Member of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, the head of the Department of Microbiology, Virology, Epizootology and Veterinary-Sanitary Examination of Ulyanovsk State Agricultural Academy, the member of Scientific Council of Ulyanovsk State Agricultural Academy, dissertation councils of Saratov Agricultural University, Ulyanovsk State Agricultural Academy, the group of infectious pathology of Veterinary Medicine Department of Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the member (academician) of Academy of Veterinary Sciences in the direction of Veterinary-Sanitary Examination, honorary degree “Honoured Science and Technology Worker of Ulyanovsk Region”.
The leader of the project of developing and creation of immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics is Bogdanov Ilgizar Ismailovich, PhD of Veterinary, associate professor, the head of the Department of Science and Innovation of Ulyanovsk State Agricultural Academy, associate professor of Clinical Diagnostics of Inner Noncontiguous Diseases and Pathology of Animals.

The immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics has successfully passed numerous testings on technico-economical and consumption properties on the basis of Ulyanovsk State Agricultural Academy, in agricultural farms of Ulyanovsk region.
4. How does immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics work?
5. What are the competitive advantages of immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics in comparison with other methods of springing diagnostics of domestic cattle?
The main competitive advantages of express-test are:
- Express-test is oriented to the use of it on the animal breeding farm and private farms without using specialized equipment and without involvement veterinary specialists
- Biological liquid for investigation and diagnostics is animal’s urine, which is rather easy to get for the diagnostics
- The procedure of detection of springing and barrenness animals is safe and eliminates the possibility of infection of veterinary specialists with a number of infection diseases (chlamidiosis, brucellosis and so on)
- Express-test is intended for the early springing diagnostics – the term of springing at which the diagnosis can be done is beginning with the 15th day after insemination
- The procedure of diagnostics duration is usually not more than 15 minutes
- Express-test has a high accuracy and reliability of the performing diagnostics (not less than 98%)
- Express-test allows to determine positive or negative reaction visually
6. Can immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics be applied to other animals?
Yes, the immunological express-test for springing and barrenness of domestic cattle diagnostics can be used for springing diagnostics of horses, sheep, goats, pigs, camels.
7. Does the diagnostics result of springing and barrenness of domestic cattle with the help of immunological express-test depend on animal age and breed?
According to the investigations, carried out by the team of scientists of Ulyanovsk State Agricultural Academy in the framework of fulfillment of the state contract with the Fund of Assistance of Development of Small Enterprises in scientific-technical field on the subject “The formation of express-test production for springing and barrenness detection of domestic cattle”, blood test of domestic cattle in different physiological stages: springing (during the whole period) and barrenness testifies that the content of chorionic gonadotropin in blood serum of domestic cattle during the whole springing period varies from 3.30±0.19 up to 8.42±1.36 ME/I, while barrenness animals don’t have such hormone. The maximum concentration of chorionic gonadotropin is in the third month of springing and is 8.42±1.36 ME/I. The investigations of the hormone content of different age and breeds of animals don’t show the differences of the chorionic gonadotropin level in comparative age and breeds aspects. Therefore, qualitive and quantative determination of chorionic gonadotropin may be the basis for early springing diagnostics of domestic cattle and the hormone may be the marker of springing.
