Production of Mare Chorionic Girdle Organoids That Secrete Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin. [PDF]

open access: yesInt J Mol Sci, 2023
The equine chorionic girdle is comprised of specialized invasive trophoblast cells that begin formation approximately 25 days after ovulation (day 0) and invade the endometrium to become endometrial cups. These specialized trophoblast cells transition from uninucleate to differentiated binucleate trophoblast cells that secrete the glycoprotein hormone ...

Horse Welfare During Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin (eCG) Production [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
Collection of blood from pregnant mares for extraction of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) is a critical but relatively unknown and poorly regulated practice in the countries in which it occurs. Equine chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone that is widely used to enhance reproductive performance and management of dairy and beef cattle, sheep, goats ...
