[HTML][HTML] Improvement of bovine in vitro embryo production by ovarian follicular wave synchronization prior to ovum pick-up
This study evaluated the effects of the synchronization of ovarian follicular wave emergence
on the efficiency of in vitro embryo production. Bos indicus cows (n= 20) were divided into
two groups (control vs. synchronization) and subjected to repeated ovum pick-up (OPU)
sessions (8 replicates each, with an interval of 21 days in a 2× 2 crossover design) and
subsequent in vitro embryo production. Cows in the control group (n= 10) were submitted to
OPU procedures without any stimulation every 21 days. Animals in the synchronization …
