AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The lack of effective early pregnancy detection methods in existing technologies leads to improper management of ewes, increasing breeding costs and production losses, and existing methods are rarely used in sheep.
Method used
Using serum amyloid A as a biomarker for early pregnancy in mammals, an early pregnancy detection kit was developed using ELISA or colloidal gold detection technology, which can detect pregnancy approximately 21 days after mating.
Benefits of technology
It enables earlier pregnancy detection, reduces breeding costs, improves ewe reproductive efficiency, reduces the rate of non-pregnant women, optimizes ewe management, reduces the risk of miscarriage and dystocia, and increases production profits.

Abstract
The present application discloses a protein marker for early pregnancy detection of mammals, and particularly relates to a hidden marker protein serum amyloid A of early pregnancy test paper. Protein sequencing used in the present application adopts liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology, sample correlation is compared through Venn, sample correlation, PCA and PLS-DA analysis; protein function annotation is carried out through GO, KEGG, COG and Pfam, and subcellular localization prediction is carried out; difference protein, protein set and difference metabolite are calculated and counted; correlation analysis of proteome and transcriptome is carried out, difference protein of sheep serum in early pregnancy is obtained, and a key marker protein of early pregnancy of sheep is screened, which provides a basis for unknown early pregnancy detection of sheep.
