Antral follicle count classification selects fertile heifers without influencing the carcass traits

Antral follicle count classification selects fertile heifers without influencing the carcass traits

This study aimed to evaluate the ovarian structure, estrus intensity, ultrasound carcass measurements, and pregnancy rate of Nelore breed heifers and cows in accordance with antral follicle counts (AFCs). We evaluated 503 heifers and 565 Nelore cows, with a mean age of 15.5±2.2 and 69.8±36.1 months...
