Abstract :The presented study aimed to investigate the presence of AMH in bitch urine and to determine whether there is a correlation between blood serum and urine AMH levels. Forty-two healthy crossbreed bitches brought to Kafkas University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with a request for ovariohysterectomy were included in the study. Blood samples were taken from the Vena cephalica antebrachii, and urine samples were collected using a urinary catheter of all bitches. After the blood and urine samples were centrifuged, AMH levels were determined using the ELISA method. The average AMH concentration was determined to be 4.56±0.53 ng/mL in urine and 7.75±1.19 ng/mL in blood serum. No significant correlation was found between blood and urine AMH levels (P>0.05). It was concluded that urine AMH levels were not related to blood serum AMH levels.
