Extreme temperature during summer may lead to heat stress in cattle and compromise their
productivity. It also poses detrimental impacts on the developmental capacity of bovine …

Climate change represents a significant environmental challenge to human welfare. One of
many negative impacts may be on animal reproduction. Elevated ambient temperature …

The oocyte may be exposed to several sources of stress during its growth and maturation,
which may lead to reduced fertility. Unfolded protein responses (UPRs) play a central role to …

Simple Summary The Holstein cows are among the most thermosensitive farm animals. In
this breed, during the heat stress periods, fertility is seriously compromised due to induced …

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of long-term temperature stress
during the in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes on the in vitro embryo production (IVP) and the …
