Abstract: Pregnancy failure caused by early embryonic death in dairy cows can result in significant economic losses to the dairy farm. Early and accurate pregnancy diagnosis in non-pregnant cows will improve the efficiency of pregnancy and shorten the number of days to nulliparity. This paper reviews recent domestic and international studies on pregnancy-associated proteins, body fluid proteins such as blood, urine, and milk of cows in early pregnancy stages, and proteomics to identify potential proteins in early non-pregnancy for accurate pregnancy diagnosis in early pregnancy and to improve dairy production efficiency.

Key words: dairy cows, proteomics, early pregnancy diagnosis, biomarkers, pregnancy-related substances
