The accuracy of rectal diagnosis of corpora lutea in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

The accuracy of rectal diagnosis of corpora lutea (CL) was determined by direct inspection of the ovaries by laparoscopy in 68 suckled water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Thirty-eight (81%) of the 47 CL diagnosed by rectal palpation were confirmed at laparoscopy. Errors in rectal diagnosis of CL were d...

Twenty-six (89.7%) of the 29 diagnoses of luteal tissue by the progesterone assay were confirmed. Errors were due to the presence of CL with low progesterone (10.3%).
