What is the method of detecting pregnancy in cattle called?

The method of detecting pregnancy in cattle is commonly referred to as pregnancy checking. This process involves various techniques that veterinarians or trained personnel use to determine whether a cow is pregnant. It typically occurs a few weeks after breeding and can involve palpation of the uterus, ultrasound, and blood or milk tests for specific hormones indicating pregnancy.

The term "breeding check" is more broadly used to refer to assessments made before or during the breeding process, while "gestation monitoring" suggests ongoing observation throughout the pregnancy rather than diagnosis. "Fertility assessment" relates to evaluating the reproductive performance of cattle but does not specifically refer to the determination of pregnancy status. Therefore, pregnancy checking is the most accurate term for this specific procedure.
