The pubertal process is characterized by an activation of physiological events within the
hypothalamic-adenohypophyseal–gonadal axis which culminate in reproductive …

It was hypothesized that metabolic programming of processes underlying puberty can be
shifted temporally through the use of a stair-step compensatory growth model such that …

Nutrition during the juvenile period has a major impact on timing reproductive maturity in
heifers. Restricted growth delays puberty, whereas elevated BW gain advances the onset of …

It was hypothesized that a high-concentrate diet fed during early calfhood alters the
expression of genes within the arcuate nucleus that subserve reproductive competence …

Seasonal changes in the activity and responsiveness of the adrenal gland in red deer
(Cervus elaphus) stags were quantified by measuring 24 h endogenous cortisol secretory …

Age at puberty is one of the significant traits that influence production of the animal and
thereby profitability to the farmer. Pubertal onset with initiation of normal estrous cycles …

Nutritional and metabolic statuses during postnatal development control the timing of
pubertal maturation in mammals. Studies reported herein had two overall aims. In Aim I …

Previous studies evaluating single and multiple GnRH injections at time of CIDR
removal/prostaglandin injection using the 7-day CO-Synch+ CIDR protocol have reported …

In this article we review the reproductive characteristics of water buffaloes. One of the most
outstanding features is the lower intensity of the signs of estrus and the high proportion of …
