Abstract excerpt
The number of follicles recruited in each estrous cycle has gained practical importance in artificial reproductive technology, as it determines the oocyte yield from ultrasound-guided ovum pickup for in vitro embryo production. We aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in bovine genes related to reproductive physiology and evaluate the association between the candidate SNPs and the number of...
