Effects of an anti-gonadoliberin releasing hormone vaccine on testicular, epididymal and spermatogenic development in the horse. [PDF]
Abstract The effects of the GnRH vaccine Improvac® on testicular and epididymal morphometrics, histology and spermatogenesis were measured in 19 young (15–20 months) colts randomly assigned to one control (saline, castration at 57 days, n = 6) or either of two GnRH vaccine‐treatment groups, T‐57 (castration at 57 days, n = 7) or T‐100 (castration at ...

Advances in the ultrasound diagnosis in equine reproductive medicine: New approaches. [PDF]
Abstract Ultrasound technology has led to new lines of research in equine reproduction, and it has helped to greatly improve clinical diagnosis and reproductive outcomes in equine practice. This review aims to discuss the potential clinical uses and new approaches of ultrasonography in equine reproduction.

Effect of immunocastration using Improvac on the regulation of adiponectin and leptin in the testes of Landrace boars [PDF]
Immunological castration of male pigs is an attractive alternative to surgical castration used in many countries to reduce the production of the main androgen, androstenone, and skatole, responsible for meat taint. To understand the effect of gonadoliberin (GnRH) vaccination with Improvac on the functional status of Landrace pig testes at the molecular

The effectiveness of Imrovac® in industrial pork production
The clinical efficacy of the use of immunobiological castration was studied in comparison with boars in which orchidectomy was performed by open method «on a ligature», as well as in non-castrated animals.

Abstract In cervids, blood biochemical markers may reflect changes in various physiological and environmental factors, especially in response to changes in metabolism following nutrient supplementation or the manipulation of hormone production. Decreasing androgen production through immunocastration (IC) to ease the husbandry of male animals is ...

Immunocastration in adult boars as a model for late‐onset hypogonadism
Abstract Background While immunocastration has been studied in male pre‐pubertal pigs, data on older, sexually mature animals are limited. To understand the physiological effects of androgen deprivation in the late sexual development phase, we compared mature immunocastrated boars (n = 19; average age = 480 days) to young male immunocastrated pigs (n =

Suppression of reproductive behaviour and gonadal function in female horses—An update
Abstract The behaviour of mares is often detrimental to their performance resulting in frequent demand for methods to suppress gonadal function. In addition, prevention of unintended reproduction especially in feral horse populations may require methods for suppression of gonadal function.

Active immunisation against GnRH as treatment for unilateral granulosa theca cell tumour in mares
Abstract Background Stallion‐like or aggressive behaviour in mares affected by unilateral granulosa theca cell tumour (GTCT) is well‐known, but use of a GnRH‐vaccine as an alternative to surgical removal of the neoplastic ovary has not been investigated.
