Typically, bovine embryos are transferred into recipient females about day 7 after estrus or
anticipated ovulation, when the embryo has reached the blastocyst stage of development …

This review focuses on the paracrine and endocrine actions of interferon tau (IFNT) during
pregnancy recognition and establishment in ruminants. Pregnancy recognition involves the …

During the past 50 years, the fertility of high-producing lactating dairy cows has decreased,
associated with intensive selection for increased milk production. The physiological and …

Establishment of pregnancy in domestic ruminants includes pregnancy recognition
signalling by the conceptus, implantation and placentation. Despite the high fertilisation …

Background Endometrial preparation with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the
preferred regimen for clinicians due to the opportunity to schedule the day of embryo transfer …

In comparison to many other mammalian species, ruminant ungulates have a unique form of
placentation. Ruminants initially display an epitheliochorial type of placentation; however …

Early pregnancy loss markedly impacts reproductive efficiency in cattle. The objectives were
to model a biologically relevant gene signature predicting embryonic competence for …

This study combined in vitro production of bovine blastocysts, multiple embryo transfer
techniques, and a conceptus-endometrial explant co-culture system to test the hypothesis …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a strategy for extending pro-
oestrus (the interval between luteolysis and ovulation) in an oestrus synchronisation …

Infertility and subfertility negatively impact the economics and reproductive performance of
cattle. Of note, significant pregnancy loss occurs in cattle during the first month of pregnancy …
