The use of Doppler ultrasonography to quantify blood vascularization in reproductive organs
has increased over the past decade. Doppler technology has predominantly been explored …

Maternal nutrients are essential for proper fetal and placental development and function.
However, the effects of vitamin and mineral supplementation under two rates of maternal …

Our objectives were to determine the effects of dam body condition score (BCS), age of dam,
and calf sex on placental size and the relationships between dam body weight (BW) and calf …

The objectives were to examine melatonin-mediated changes in temporal uterine blood flow
(UBF), vaginal temperatures (VT s), and fetal morphometrics in 54 commercial Brangus …

Compromised pregnancies result in a poorly functioning placenta restricting the amount of
oxygen and nutrient supply to the fetus resulting in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) …

Introduction Prenatal development is reliant on a functioning placenta, which can be
influenced by maternal nutrition. Moreover, the variation in cotyledonary capacity within an …

Melatonin rescues uterine blood flow and fetal body weight in a seasonal dependent
manner within a nutrient restriction bovine model. We sought to identify the effects of nutrient …

Holstein cattle carrying a prolactin receptor gene mutation (SLICK) exhibit short and sleek
hair coats (short-haired Holstein [SLK]) enhancing thermotolerance and productivity …

Malnutritional stress during gestation is a well-established driver of metabolic disfunction in
offspring. Extended exposure to malnutrition requires metabolic plasticity as the animal shifts …

Objectives of these two experiments were to determine if exogenous estradiol benzoate (EB)
affects follicular, luteal, and uterine hemodynamics. In both experiments, 77 estrous …
