Abstract excerpt
The aim of this work was to determine whether prenatal survival depends on the genotype of the mother or of the embryo and to identify the critical periods for prenatal mortality in two lines of rabbits divergently selected by high (H) and low (L) uterine capacity. Does from H (n = 124) and L (n = 115) lines were slaughtered at 72 h of gestation. Embryos recovered at 72 h of gestation were transferred to the...
