Ovarian assessment for pre-selection of embryo donor ewes

Exploring the impacts of different antral follicle count and luteal presence on ovarian response and fertility in inseminated Boer does

“…Responsive does to hormonal stimulation also had a greater population of ovarian AF at the time of synchronization than non-responsive does. Similar to our findings, other studies emphasize that high AFC is an important indicator to select the sheep with high genetic merit for predictable potential of high ovarian response to hormonal stimulation [19]. The numerically greater population of AF at the onset of the hormonal synchronization and subsequent higher population of large AF at the onset of fixed-time AI were as expected.…”
