This review aims at giving an overview on the physiological events leading to puberty onset
in mammals and more specifically in cattle. Puberty is an important developmental milestone …

This study aims to investigate the effects of zearalenone (ZEA) on the localizations and
expressions of follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), luteinizing hormone receptor …

HIGHLIGHTS The CC genotype of the LEP gene decreases 28.71 days of the calving to
conception interval. The AA genotype of the Pit-1 gene decreases 41.36 days the age at first …

In dairy cows, there is evidence that failure to respond to superovulation protocols is a
heritable trait. In women, genotyping for the p. N680S single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) …

Selection for bulls that would reach puberty early reduces the generation interval and
increases fertility and herd productivity. Despite its economic importance, there are few QTL …

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is released from the anterior pituitary gland and has an
important role in female fertility. As FSH is a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone which cannot …

Background In bovines, there are significant differences within and among beef breeds in
the time when bulls reach puberty. Although the timing of puberty is likely to be a multigenic …

The objective of this study was to analyze and investigate the genotype frequency and the
association between Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 gene, DGAT1 gene, and milk …

Fresh semen from fifty bulls was evaluated for ejaculate volume, individual motility,
concentration, lives sperm and abnormalities as well as acrosome integrity. Bulls were …
