Ruminants are born with a finite number of healthy ovarian follicles and oocytes (ovarian
reserve) and germ cell proliferation in the developing foetal gonad predominantly occurs …

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 …

Two experiments in Nelore cows subjected to timed artificial insemination (TAI) were
designed to compare the influence of the antral follicle count (AFC/AFCs) on (1) ovarian …

This study evaluated the effects of the synchronization of ovarian follicular wave emergence
on the efficiency of in vitro embryo production. Bos indicus cows (n= 20) were divided into …

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

The objectives of this study were to establish if exposure of pregnant dairy cows to high
environmental temperatures and humidity during the first trimester of pregnancy impairs 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 …

The antral follicle count (AFC) represents the number of follicles visualized by
ultrasonography in the ovaries. Antral follicle count tends to be variable among cows but …

The ovary and its hormones may have major effects on the in vitro developmental capacity of
the oocytes it contains. We related intrinsic ovarian factors namely the presence of corpus …

The ability of livestock to reproduce efficiently is critical to the sustainability of animal
agriculture. Antral follicle count (AFC) and reproductive tract scores (RTS) can be used to …
