Embryo transfer in Bos indicus cattle

Theriogenology. 2001 Dec 1;56(9):1483-96. doi: 10.1016/s0093-691x(01)00648-3.

Abstract

In the present short review superovulation treatments commonly used for Bos taurus and/or Bos indicus will be addressed with emphasis in recent superstimulation protocols associated with pharmacological manipulation of the follicular dynamics to improve donor management and potentially embryo yield. Results obtained after superovulation treatments in which the time of LH surge is selectively delayed as an attempt to improve embryo yield are presented and discussed.
