Developmental Competence of Juvenile Calf Oocytes In Vitro and In Vivo: Influence of Donor Animal Variation and Repeated Gonadotropin Stimulation1
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Juvenile calf oocytes represent an untapped source of germ plasm for reproduction. Reports on the developmental competence of calf oocytes have been controversial. In this research, oocytes were recovered after gonadotropin stimulation from Holstein calves (N = 10) at 2-3 mo of age (2-mo cycle) and again at 4-5 mo of age (4-mo cycle). The in vitro developmental competence was measured, and prestimulation follicle...
