Abstract excerpt

The aims of this study were to examine the effects of the Booroola FecB gene on ovarian development and reproductive hormones (FSH, LH and inhibin) at days 90, 100, 120 and 135 of gestation (term = 147 days). The effects of litter size were eliminated by transferring equal numbers of homozygous BB and control (++) embryos to recipient ewes. The ovary, but not the body, pituitary, adrenal, kidney or thymus, was...
