Abstract


Early Pregnancy Factor (EPF) is a special antigen which can be found in the blood of pregnant goat starting at 7 day pregnancy. The objective of this research is to identify and determine concentration of Early Pregnancy Factor (EPF) of pregnant goat sera at 1-4 months of pregnancy. The result showed that the molecular weight of EPF between 43-67 kDa. While average protein of EPF pregnant goat at 1, 2, 3 and 4 months were 612 1 721,75 pg / ml, 10208 i 879,61 pg / ml, 14976 1 1785,90 pg / ml and 10848 i 996,758 pg / ml. This concentration of EPF can used for pregnancy detection in the goat.
