Embryonic and Early Foetal Losses in Cattle and Other Ruminants Tập 43 Số s2 - Trang 260-267 - 2008
M. Diskin, D.G. Morris
ContentsEmbryo survival is a major factor affecting production and economic
efficiency in all systems of ruminant milk and meat production. For heifers,
beef and moderate yielding dairy cows, does and camelids it appears that
fertilization generally lies between 90% and 100%. In high‐producing dairy cows
there is a less substantive body of literature, but it would appear that it is
somewhat lower ... hiện toàn bộ
Oocyte and Embryo Quality: Effect of Origin, Culture Conditions and Gene Expression Patterns Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 259-267 - 2003
P. Lonergan, Dimitrios Rizos, Alfonso Gutiérrez‐Adán, Trudee Fair, M.P. Boland
ContentsIn general, the majority of immature bovine oocytes fail to develop to
the blastocyst stage following maturation, fertilization and culture in vitro.
The evidence suggests that while culture conditions during in vitro embryo
production can impact on the developmental potential of the early embryo, the
intrinsic quality of the oocyte is the key factor determining the proportion of
oocytes d... hiện toàn bộ
Long Chain Fatty Acids of Diet as Factors Influencing Reproduction in Cattle Tập 43 Số s2 - Trang 23-30 - 2008
J.E.P. Santos, T.R. Bilby, W.W. Thatcher, CR Staples, F.T. Silvestre
ContentsCattle are fed moderate amounts of long chain fatty acids (FA) with the
objective to enhance lactation and growth; however, recent interest on lipid
feeding to cows has focused on reproduction, immunity and health. Increasing the
caloric density of the ration by fat feeding has generally improved measures of
cow reproduction, but when milk yield and body weight losses were increased by
fat... hiện toàn bộ
Mechanisms of Infertility Associated with Clinical and Subclinical Endometritis in High Producing Dairy Cattle Tập 44 Số s3 - Trang 1-9 - 2009
IM Sheldon, SB Price, J. Cronin, R.O. Gilbert, John E. Gadsby
ContentsClinical and subclinical endometritis are common causes of infertility
and subfertility in high producing dairy cattle, delaying the onset of ovarian
cyclic activity after parturition, extending luteal phases and reducing
conception rates. Escherichia coli and Arcanobacterium pyogenes cause
endometrial damage and inflammation. Components of microbes, such as
lipopolysaccharide (LPS), are d... hiện toàn bộ
Hyperactivated Motility in Sperm Tập 38 Số 2 - Trang 119-124 - 2003
SS Suarez, Shih‐Kai Hung
ContentsHyperactivation is a movement pattern seen in sperm at the site and time
of fertilization in mammals. It may be critical to the success of fertilization,
because it enhances the ability of sperm to detach from the wall of the oviduct,
to move around in the labyrinthine lumen of the oviduct, to penetrate mucous
substances and, finally, to penetrate the zona pellucida of the oocyte. The
move... hiện toàn bộ
Canine Mammary Tumours, an Overview Tập 46 Số 6 - Trang 1112-1131 - 2011
N. Sleeckx, H. de Rooster, EJB Veldhuis Kroeze, Chris Van Ginneken, Leen Van Brantegem
ContentsCanine mammary tumours (CMTs) are the most common neoplasms in intact
female dogs. Although the prevalence of these tumours decreases in regions where
preventive ovari(ohyster)ectomy is performed, it remains an important disease
entity in veterinary medicine. Moreover, treatment options are limited in
comparison with human breast cancer. Nevertheless, recent human treatment
protocols might... hiện toàn bộ
Embryo‐Maternal Communication in Bovine – Strategies for Deciphering a Complex Cross‐Talk Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 276-289 - 2003
Eckhard Wolf, GJ Arnold, Stefan Bauersachs, H. M. Beier, Helmut Blum, Ralf Einspanier, Thomas Fröhlich, Andreas Herrler, Stefan Hiendleder, D. Schams, Katja Prelle, HD Reichenbach, Miodrag Stojković, Hendrik Wenigerkind, Fred Sinowatz
ContentsEarly embryonic development, implantation and maintenance of a pregnancy
are critically dependent on an intact embryo‐maternal communication. So far,
only few signals involved in this dialogue have been identified. In bovine and
other ruminants, interferon tau is the predominant embryonic pregnancy
recognition signal, exhibiting antiluteolytic activity. However, this is just
one aspect of ... hiện toàn bộ
