Effect of plasma progesterone on oocyte recovery, oocyte quality, and early in-vitro developmental competence of embryos in Bos indicus dairy cows

Effect of plasma progesterone on oocyte recovery, oocyte quality, and early in-vitro developmental competence of embryos in Bos indicus dairy cows

The objective of present study was to determine the effect of plasma progesterone (P4) on oocyte recovery, oocyte quality, and early in-vitro developmental competence of embryos in Bos indicus dairy cows. The ovaries were collected in an abattoir. These ovaries (n = 750) were divided into two groups...

Zusammenfassung:The objective of present study was to determine the effect of plasma progesterone (P4) on oocyte recovery, oocyte quality, and early in-vitro developmental competence of embryos in Bos indicus dairy cows. The ovaries were collected in an abattoir. These ovaries (n = 750) were divided into two groups: 1) estrous CYCLIC (n = 318), and 2) estrous ACYCLIC (n = 432). Mean serum concentrations of P4 in a subset of (n = 85; 4.21 ± 0.4 ng/ml compared with 0.5 ± 0.2 ng/ml; P
