The antral follicle count (AFC) is an important tool in the selection of bovine females destined for biotechnology. However, little is known about AFC in prepubertal and pubertal heifers. Some challenges inherent to the physiology of young females must be considered to achieve efficient rates with different procedures, such as ovum pick-up and IVF. This paper covers some important topics about ovarian physiology related to the population of antral follicles and reproductive efficiency in young female cattle.
窦状卵泡计数(AFC)是选择用于生物技术的母牛的一项重要工具。然而,对于青春期前和青春期小母牛的AFC了解甚少。为了通过不同程序(如采卵和体外受精)实现高效成功率,必须考虑年轻雌性动物生理学中固有的一些挑战。本文涵盖了一些与年轻母牛窦状卵泡数量和繁殖效率相关的卵巢生理学重要主题。
