Among the reproductive biotechnologies, in vitro embryo production (IVEP) is an important
tool for multiplying genetic material of superior merit. Recently, the number of embryos …

Survival of the embryo and establishment of a pregnancy is a critical period in the
reproductive function of female cattle. This review examines how the transforming growth …

We evaluated the effect of the antral follicle count (AFC) on ovarian follicular dynamics,
pregnancy rates, progesterone concentrations, and transcriptional patterns of genes in …

Mammalian females are born with a finite number of follicles in their ovaries that is referred
to as the ovarian reserve. There is a large amount of variation between females in the …

An experiment was performed to evaluate the association between the antral follicle count
(AFC) plus body condition score (BCS) and the pregnancy rate in Bos indicus undergoing …

In the present study, there was an evaluation of in vitro embryo production (IVEP) in Bos
indicus donor cows with small or large antral follicle counts (AFCs) when there was …

The number of antral follicles detectable by ultrasonography in heifers is influenced by age
of the dam, because daughters of primiparous cows have fewer antral follicles than …

We performed two experiments in high milk-producing Holstein cows. First, we evaluated the
repeatability of the antral follicle count (AFC)–where all follicles were≥ 2 mm in diameter …

Reproductive biotechniques such as embryo production are important tools to increase the
reproductive performance in cattle in a short time. In this context, the antral follicle count …

The ovary is a dynamic structure with two main functions. First, the ovary is responsible for
producing hormones that control and direct the female reproductive system. Second, it is in …
