Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) plays an important role in fertility and early embryo development. The objectives of this study were to test the association of FGF2 polymorphisms with fertilization success in cattle using an in vitro fertilization experimental system and to investigate the mechanisms leading to the presence of rare alleles of FGF2 in the Holstein population. A total of 7502 fertilizations were...
