This study was conducted in ewes to assess effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration after imposing an estrous induction treatment regimen. Ewes (n = 115) were treated with a 60 mg medroxyprogesterone-intravaginal-sponge for 6 d plus 200 IU of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) im and 37.5 μg d-cloprostenol im 36 h before sponge...

In horses, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is produced by embryos around Day 5 post-ovulation; PGE2 functions directly at the oviduct promoting embryo transport into the uterus. Non-surgical collection of horse embryos for cryopreservation is recommended at Day 6.5-7 post-ovulation. It was proposed that misoprostol administered orally will hasten oviductal...

This study was conducted to assess effects of different doses of pFSH on follicular recruitment, superovulatory response, ova/embryo recovery, and embryo yield in lactating ewes. Ewes (n = 24) had a superovulation treatment regimen imposed. All ewes were implanted with a progesterone intravaginal device for 9 d, and administered either 100 (G-100) ...

The gonadotropin compound, PG600, is used to induce estrus in prepubertal gilts, but responses can be variable. This study was conducted to evaluate PG600 effects on follicles, estrus, ovulation and estrogen production. Prepubertal gilts (n = 50) were treated with PG600. Gilts were evaluated for estrus while daily boar exposure was occurring. A sub...

Objectives were to evaluate effects of a smaller than typically used dose of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) during a fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) treatment regimen. Transrectal ultrasonic (US) examinations were conducted on dairy cows on Day 0 (D0) and the treatment regimen was initiated with administrations of an intravaginal pro...

Sambar (Rusa unicolor) are the most numerous and rapidly expanding of Australia's six introduced deer species, however, there is little information about the reproductive biology of sambar deer in their natural habitat. To better predict and manage wild sambar populations in Australia it is important to understand their reproductive seasonality and...

Several metalloproteinases (MMPs) are present and functional in the chicken ovary and regulate the extracellular matrix (ECM) during follicle development, ovulation, atresia, and regression. The regulation of the abundance of MMPs in avian ovarian follicles, however, is largely unknown. The aim of the present study was to examine effects of equine ...

Fertilization is one of the most important procedures in artificial reproduction and it directly affects the reproduction outcome. When there is optimization of fertilization, there can be a positive effect on subsequent reproductive processes and economic aspects of aquaculture. This study was conducted to determine time for which oocytes and sper...

Methyl farnesoate (MF), a de-epoxidized form of juvenile hormone (JH) Ⅲ in insects, may regulate developmental processes such as reproduction and ovarian maturation in crustaceans. Krüppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1) is a target response gene for the methoprene-tolerant (Met) protein that is a component of the JH signaling pathway in insects. In the present ...
