Dr. Sharad Singh Yadav
Dr. Sharad Singh Yadav is a licensed veterinarian with expertise in animal reproduction, gestation, and neonatal care. He serves as the veterinary medical reviewer for all animal pregnancy calculator pages at DueDateCalculator.com, including dog, cat, horse, cattle, and goat pregnancy calculators. His reviews ensure all gestation periods, ranges, and care information reflect current veterinary science.
Credentials & Expertise
Dr. Yadav earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree and has worked extensively with both companion animals (dogs, cats) and large animals (horses, cattle, goats). His practice includes reproductive health consultations, pregnancy monitoring, and neonatal care for multiple species — so he understands how gestation length and pregnancy care differ species to species, and even breed to breed.
At DueDateCalculator.com, Dr. Yadav is the final gate for animal pregnancy content. He reviews every gestation average and range against current veterinary references and American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) standards, checks that care tips (whelping, foaling, kidding) are species-appropriate, and ensures each page reminds owners when a situation calls for a veterinarian rather than a calculator.
Species Expertise
Review Methodology
- Gestation data audit. Each species’ average gestation length and normal range is checked against veterinary references.
- Breed-variation notes. Where gestation varies meaningfully by breed or size, pages must say so instead of giving a single number.
- Care-tip review. Whelping, foaling, calving, and kidding guidance is checked for safety and species accuracy.
- Vet-referral language. Every page must direct owners to a licensed veterinarian for complicated or uncertain pregnancies.
Reviews repeat on a rolling schedule and whenever veterinary guidance changes.
