increasing interest in milk production. Multiovulation and Embryo Transfer (MOET) and In …

Goats are amongst the most fertile of the domestic species. In the temperate zones
seasonality may constitute a limiting factor if intensive production systems are to be …

The effect of conditioned medium (CM) or microvesicles (MVs), secreted by multicellular
spheroids of oviductal cells, and the involvement of some microRNAs (miRNAs) were …

Brilliant cresyl blue stain allows us to determine the activity of glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (G6PD), an enzyme synthesized in growing oocytes but with decreased …

Selecting oocytes that are most likely to develop is crucial for in vitro fertilization and animal
cloning. Brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) staining has been used for oocyte selection in large …

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as artificial insemination (AI) and multiple
ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) have been used to increase reproductive efficiency …

With an increased interest in transgenic animal production, the caprine species offers many
advantages, and the prepubertal goat is a potential source of large numbers of oocytes for in …

The low number of embryos produced from in vitro matured, fertilized, and cultured (IVM–IVF–
IVC) oocytes of prepubertal goat is mainly due to a low incidence of sperm head …

Although oocytes from prepubertal animals are found less competent than oocytes from
adults, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Using the mouse oocyte model …

Recent advances in reproductive biotechnologies in small ruminants include improvement
of methods for in vitro production of embryos and attempts at spermatogonial stem cell …
