Effects of short-term dietary supplementation on the number of ovarian follicles, quantity and quality of oocytes, and in vitro embryo production in Japanese Black cows
Published 2022-12-01“…The proportion of cleaved oocytes was lower in the HD group than in the MD group (P < 0.05); consequently, there was no significant difference in the number of blastocysts obtained between the HD and MD groups. The present findings suggest that high-energy diets can promote follicular growth in parallel with an increase in plasma concentrations of insulin, but have a detrimental effect on the quality of oocytes with the OPU-IVF procedure in Japanese Black cows.…”
