Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to improve the reliability of predicting the superovulatory response in Japanese Black cattle. Follicle counts and plasma anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations were analyzed within four days prior to the initiation of superovulation. The single nucleotide polymorphism (guanine or adenine) of the ionotropic glutamate receptor AMPA1 was determined. The plasma anti-Müllerian hormone...
