Recent Ovulation Cytology Highlights ✨
Ovulation cytology is all about understanding the subtle changes happening throughout the heat cycle — and those changes can happen quickly.
Across recent samples, we’ve seen the progression from non-cornified cells (parabasal and intermediate) into fully cornified cells (superficial and anuclear), marking the transition into the fertile window. This shift is what allows us to accurately identify the optimal time for mating.
The difference between these stages can be as little as a couple of days — which is why relying on behaviour alone can often lead to missed timings.
Cytology gives a clear, visual insight into where a bitch is within her cycle, allowing for more precise and responsible breeding decisions.
At Bijoux Breeding, we offer professional vaginal ovulation cytology to monitor these changes and support you in timing your mating correctly.
