New insights into the reproductive physiology and management of the female koala (Phascolarctos cinereus): factors affecting the control of the oestrous cycle
Abstract:The objective of this thesis was to investigate the factors controlling the reproductive cycle of the female koala and develop an oestrous synchronization technique to facilitate the further refinement and efficacy of artificial insemination (AI) in the koala. A component of this development was the establishment of less invasive strategies to accurately monitor the reproductive status of the female koala, without the need for physical restraint or serial venipuncture. Chapter 2 of this thesis evaluated the ef… Show more
