Ewes heterozygous for the FecX(R) allele (R+) in the bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) gene display increased ovulation rate and prolificacy. Besides this phenotypic advantage, the influence of the FecX(R) allele on follicle number and size, oocyte competence and in vitro production (IVP) remains undefined. With these aims, 8 R+ and 8 wild-type (++) ewes were subjected to 2 laparoscopic ovum pick-up (LOPU)...
