Abstract excerpt
To study the influence of the F gene on follicular dynamics and dominance, 2-year-old Booroola x Finnish Landrace (BFL, N = 17) and Booroola x Suffolk (BS, N = 18) ewes were compared with contemporary purebred Finn (FL, N = 18) and Suffolk (S, N = 18) ewes. In Exp. 1, oestrous cycles of ewes were synchronized during the breeding season with progestagen-impregnated sponges. At sponge removal (Day 0), 14 days after...
