Single-Step Genomic Prediction of Superovulatory Response Traits in Japanese Black Donor Cows
We assessed the performance of single-step genomic prediction of breeding values for superovulatory response traits in Japanese Black donor cows. A total of 25,332 records of the total number of embryos and oocytes (TNE) and the number of good embryos ...

The role of embryo transfer in improving pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer [PDF]
Embryo transfer is not just a simple process of implanting the embryos into the uterus. A successful and effective embryo transfer requires not only high-quality embryos and appropriate uterine environment, but also high technical level of embryo ...

Expression of Enzymes Associated with Prostaglandin Synthesis in Equine Conceptuses
In the horse, mobility of the conceptus is required for maternal recognition of pregnancy depending on secretion of prostaglandins by the conceptus. The aim of this study was to determine the expression and localization of key enzymes of the different ...

Single embryo transfer is an option in frozen embryo transfer [PDF]
A good strategy to decrease multiple pregnancy rate in assisted reproduction technology (ART) is the use of single embryo transfer (SET).This retrospective study analysed 1647 frozen embryo transfers carried out during 1998-2003 in Helsinki University Central Hospital; of these, 872 were double embryo transfers (DETs) and 775 SETs.

Epigenetic Changes in Equine Embryos after Short-Term Storage at Different Temperatures
In embryos subjected to assisted reproductive techniques, epigenetic modifications may occur that can influence embryonic development and the establishment of pregnancy. In horses, the storage temperature during transport of fresh embryos before transfer

Stress Response of Beagle Dogs to Repeated Short-Distance Road Transport
This study aimed to characterize the response of transport-naïve dogs to one and two-hour road transports based on cortisol in saliva and blood plasma, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), neutrophil to lymphocyte (N/L) ratio and behavior.
