This paper discusses the phenomenon of nutritional flushing in ewes whereby increased
nutrition stimulates folliculogenesis and ovulation rate. In addition the paper reviews recent …

This paper describes three strategies to improve the reproductive performance of small
ruminants in ways that lead to “clean, green and ethical” animal production. The first is …

This study tested whether the effects of a short period of nutritional supplementation given to
ewes during the luteal phase on follicle development and ovulation rate is associated with …

Animals live in environments that are both complex and continually changing, so they have
to respond to short-and long-term variations in a wide range of factors, such as photoperiod …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) ovarian follicle culture offers a promising option for fertility
preservation in patients who cannot receive ovarian tissue transplantation. Our research …

Improved nutrition increases ovulation rate in sheep and there is evidence that intra-ovarian
pathways mediate responses to nutrition. An experiment was conducted to examine the …

An experiment was conducted using 16 cyclic, Welsh Mountain ewes during the luteal
phase of the estrous cycle to determine the effect of a 5-day period of feeding a high-energy …

This study investigated the effects of short-term food restriction or supplementation on
folliculogenesis and plasma and intrafollicular metabolite and hormone concentrations …

An experiment was carried out to determine the pattern of follicular expression of mRNAs for
aromatase, IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR), IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-2,-4 and-5, leptin and the …

Effects of rumen undegradable intake protein (UIP) supplementation on ovarian activity and
serum insulin, GH, and LH were evaluated in goats having low or high body condition (BC) …
