With the introduction of multiple ovulation, embryo recovery and transfer techniques (MOET)
plus embryo freeze–thaw methods in the early 1980s, the breeding industry has the tools in …

In this review, the main features of folliculogenesis are summarized and compared among
species. In the past few years, ultrasonography has clarified follicle growth patterns, and our …

Variability in ovarian response to superstimulatory treatments and in the interval from PGF2α
treatment to estrus in cattle is largely attributable to the status of follicular wave development …

Two experiments were designed to evaluate the effects of estradiol-17β (E-17β) on follicular
wave dynamics and gonadotropin in cattle. The first experiment was designed to evaluate …

An experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of treatment with progestogen and
estradiol-17β (E-17β), in combination, at different stages of development of the dominant …

Superovulation is a major limiting factor in the contributions that embryo transfer can make to
the genetic improvement of cattle. This review analyzes the limitations of superovulation of …

Two experiments were designed to evaluate the responsiveness of beef heifers to
superstimulatory treatments administered during the first follicular wave. Heifers were …

Kafi, M., McGowan, MR, 1997. Factors associated with variation in the superovulatory
response of cattle. Anim. Reprod. Sci. Variability in the superovulatory response of cattle is …

In bovine in vitro embryo production, the IVM step is rather successful with 80% of the
oocytes reaching the MII stage. However, the extent to which the process limits the yield of …

The use of ultrasonographic techniques for visualizing bovine ovaries has elucidated
patterns of follicular development in cattle and provided some insight into the regulation of …
