[Chloride levels in the estral secretion and the fertility of cows].

Studied was the chloride content of the estral secretion of cows at their insemination. It was found that chlorides vary from 351 to 1130 mg% on an average. In 90 per cent of the cows the chloride content varied within the 701-1200 mg% range. There is certain correlation between the chloride content and the conception rate of cows. The latter had highest values in cases where chlorides ranged from 701 to 800 mg%.
