The application of Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ART) to endangered species has gained increasing attention among researchers and conservationists globally. Successful application of ART can contribute to maintain genetically viable animal populations but it requires a deep knowledge of the species' reproductive physiology. Understanding the ovarian function in a species is crucial …
Freemartinism is the most frequent type of intersex individual in the bovine species. It is characterized by the birth of a female calf with reproductive developmental anomalies resulting from a twin pregnancy that included a male fetus. Freemartin heifers are usually culled, which causes financial loss to the producer. However, previous studies have shown that freemartin heifers are able…
The objective of this study is to assess the viability of sperm recovered from the epididymi of stallions immediately after orchiectomy and after a 48-hour period of refrigeration. Twelve pairs of testicles from private-owned stallions will be used in this study. After elective orchiectomy, the testicles with the epididymi will be immerse…
Estrus detection is an essential part of any successful reproductive program in domestic species. In bitches, the proestrous phase is evidenced by vulvar edema and a characteristic vaginal hemorrhagic discharge that signals the return to reproductive activity after months of anestrus. However, some females, particularly the pre-pubertal ones, may undergo a "silent heat", where the ovarian…
