What does PAG stand for?

Proximal Anastomosis Graft

Pregnancy-associated glycoprotein

PAG stands for Pregnancy-Associated Glycoprotein, a group of proteins produced by the placenta of pregnant ruminant animals such as cows, goats, and sheep. These glycoproteins are secreted into the bloodstream and are commonly used as biomarkers for early pregnancy detection in livestock. In the context of animal nutrition and reproductive health, monitoring PAG levels helps farmers and veterinarians optimize breeding programs, nutritional intake, and overall herd fertility management. People researching this topic might also search for related terms like bovine PAG test, early pregnancy diagnosis in cattle, placental proteins, or reproductive biomarkers.

In the nutrition aspect of livestock management, knowing an animal's pregnancy status (via PAG testing) allows for precise adjustment of dietary needs. Pregnant animals often require specific feeding strategies that differ from non-pregnant ones, especially in terms of energy, protein, and micronutrient intake. Monitoring PAG can therefore lead to better maternal health, improved fetal development, and ultimately more productive and economically efficient farming practices.
