Follicular Size Threshold for Ovulation Reassessed. Insights from Multiple Ovulating Dairy Cows
In <i>Bos. taurus</i> cattle, follicular deviation to dominance begins when the selected ovulatory follicle reaches a mean diameter of 8.5 mm. The dominant follicle acquires the capacity to ovulate when it reaches a diameter of about 10 mm. In this study, data derived from 148 cows in es...
