Embryo survival and pregnancy success is increased among animals that exhibit estrus
prior to fixed time-artificial insemination, but there are no differences in conceptus survival to …

The uterine environment must provide sufficient endocrine conditions and nutrients for
pregnancy maintenance and conceptus survival. The objective of this study was to …

This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of altering preovulatory estradiol
concentrations, through manipulation of length of proestrus, on peripheral progesterone …

This study sought to determine the earliest response of the bovine uterine endometrium to
the presence of the conceptus at key developmental stages of early pregnancy. There were …

Preovulatory estradiol is known to impact embryo quality and survival. The objective of this
study was to determine the effects of preovulatory estradiol on the uterine environment and …

A major unresolved issue is how the uterus influences infertility and subfertility in cattle.
Serial embryo transfer was previously used to classify heifers as high-fertile (HF), subfertile …

The aim of this study was to identify conceptus-derived proteins, in addition to IFNT, that may
facilitate pregnancy recognition in cattle. Analysis of the protein content of the uterine …

Embryo transfer to the uterine horn contralateral to the ovary containing the corpus luteum
(CL) negatively impacts pregnancy establishment in cattle. Our aim was to compare the …

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 …

Studies support the idea that uterine epithelia and their secretions have important biological
roles in conceptus survival, elongation, and implantation in sheep. The present study …
