... This study investigated the effects of embryo reduction and transfer of Day 11 embryos, with or without subsequent reduction, on luteostasis in the mare. In Experiment 1, reduction of embryos at Days 10 (n = 15), 11 (n = 47), 12 (n = 36), 13 (n = 27), 14 (n = 5) and 16 (n = 2) of pregnancy resulted in luteostasis in 13%, 47%, 78%, 89%, 80% and 100% mares. Mares undergoing > 1 embryo reduction show ...

Abstract:
... Failure to ovulate is a major cause of infertility. The critical pathway that induces ovulation involves the EGF and MAPK phosphorylation, but studies in rodents have suggested that the Hippo activator, YAP, is also involved. It is unknown whether YAP-dependent transcriptional activity is important for the LH- or EGF-induced ovulatory cascade in monovulatory species such as the cow. Using a well-d ...

Abstract:
... The present study was conducted to examine the effect of conventional the Ovsynch protocol (OVS) and a modified Ovsynch synchronization (GPGMH) protocol on the follicular dynamics, estrus, ovulation, and pregnancy in nulliparous and multiparous crossbred (swamp × riverine) buffaloes during different seasons. GPGMH or OVS protocols were used to synchronize nulliparous (n = 128; GPGMH = 94, OVS = 34 ...

Abstract:
... Superovulation treatments aim to stimulate multifollicular recruitment, maximizing the number of oocytes or transferable embryos produced. Factors associated with the superovulation protocol, female characteristics and many other factors are determinants in the number and quality of oocytes obtained. An accurate way to assess oocyte quality more precise than morphological appearance is genetic exp ...

Abstract:
... Ovary follicular development is a progressive system from the beginning of small cortical follicles to the ovulation of hierarchical follicles. The review was conducted to provide information on the indigenous chickens commonly used for egg production, chicken ovarian follicles morphology and expression of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) gene in ovarian follicles and its relationship with e ...

Abstract:
... The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of follicle ablation, exogenous FSH application, and different coasting time prior to ovum pick-up (OPU) on the number of follicles suitable for aspiration, oocyte quality, and cleavage rate in Ethiopian Boran cows. The experiment was carried out in three parts, (I) cows were synchronized using 500 µg PGF2α given 11 days apart. Cows were then s ...

Abstract:
... A table was generated, based on foetal ultrasonographic measurements in light breed mares, for each day of gestation beginning with day 100, to provide the predicted value of four biometric parameters: biparietal diameter (BPD), eye approximated volume (EyV), foetal aortic diameter (AortD) and femur length (FL). Using this table, day of gestation was successfully predicted in 23 Quarter Horses (QH ...

Abstract:
... We tested whether short-term nutritional supplementation (500 g lupin grain per head daily) would affect the response of ewes to the ram effect. Experiment 1 (end of non-breeding season): ewes were supplemented for either Days −6 to −1 relative to ram introduction (n = 24) or for 12 days after ram introduction (Days 11 to 22 of the ram-induced cycle; n = 29). Controls (n = 30) were not supplemente ...

Abstract:
... Successful propagation of fish depends on many factors including the optimal administration routes and delivery vehicles of spawning agents. In our experiments, the effects of different routes of administration and delivery vehicles of Ovopel (mammalian GnRH-analouge and metoclopramide) on ovulation were compared in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Seven females per treatment were used (BW = ...

Abstract:
... Among female livestock, the mare has the shortest interval from parturition to first ovulation. Due to the scarcity of research on postpartum mares, little progress has been made on the characterization of the resumption of ovarian cyclicity after parturition. This study compared follicular and gonadotropin dynamics during follicle emergence and deviation in postpartum lactating (PP Lactating) ver ...

Abstract:
... Premature regression of corpus luteum (PRCL) is a functional alteration that occurs mainly in superovulated females hampering the widespread use of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET). This study evaluated the association of donor age (3–9 years old), body condition score (2 to 4.5), number of MOET (1 to 5) repetitions and season (breeding, transition, or non-breeding) with the occurrenc ...

Abstract:
... Accuracy of prediction of the day of parturition in the bitch decreases with advancing pregnancy. We hypothesized that three‐dimensional (3D) volume ultrasonography may be superior for gestational ageing than 2D measurements. Thirty‐two pregnancy examinations were performed in 25 bitches of different breeds 21–34 days after the first mating. Ovulation date from serum progesterone concentrations wa ...

This study evaluated the embryo yield in Bos indicus donors with low and high antral follicle counts (AFCs) subjected to a multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) program using low and high FSH doses for superovulation. Donors (n = 16) underwent a presynchronization E2/P4-based protocol 30 days (D-30) before starting the MOET program. After AFC evaluation (D-26), donors with low (n = 8; ≤ 15 ...

This study aimed to evaluate follicular dynamics and pregnancy rates in Nellore heifers submitted to fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) protocols associated with equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) or follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

Abstract:
... Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) are involved in equine embryo mobility throughout the uterus on Days 11–15 (ovulation = Day 0). On a day (Day 12) of maximal embryo mobility in pregnant mares (n = 13) and before luteolysis in nonbred mares (n = 10), gene expressions were compared between the uterine horns that did and did not contain the mobile embryo and between pregnant and ...

Abstract:
... Deslorelin implants are widely used in felines. Due to their prolonged duration cat breeders frequently request early implant removal. The interval between deslorelin implant removal and resumption of ovarian function in queens is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interval between the removal of a deslorelin implant and the resumption of ovarian activity in adult queens. Twenty‐th ...

Abstract:
... Timing is a crucial factor in the success of artificial insemination (AI). In sows, the appropriate time for AI amounts 12 hours before to 4 hours after ovulation based on the period in which viable spermatozoa should be available at the site of fertilization. However, in contrast to the general period of estrus, which is associated with behavioral and physical changes, the exact time of ovulation ...

Abstract:
... In dairy cows, reproductive diseases such as cystic ovarian disease (COD) represent a major problem that impacts on dairy production. It has been postulated that the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system may contribute to follicular persistence and development of COD. Thus, the aim of the present study was to analyze relevant members of the IGF system in a critical period immediately after the e ...

Abstract:
... To date, large‐scale use of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) programmes in ovine species is limited due to unpredictable results and high costs of hormonal stimulation and treatment. Therefore, even if considered reliable, they are not fully applicable in large‐scale systems. More recently, the new prospects offered by in vitro embryo production (IVEP) through collection of oocytes po ...

Abstract:
... Cats are seasonally polyestrous, meaning they exhibit multiple estrous cycles within a season, followed by a period of non-cyclicity. Cats cycle when the day length is long but can be induced to cycle year-round with 14 h of continuous artificial lighting. The feline estrous cycle includes the following stages: proestrus, estrus, interestrus and, if ovulation occurs, diestrus. Cats are induced ovu ...
