Approaches to improve survival, growth, and maturation of caprine oocytes: main results from LAMOFOPA-Brazil.

This brief review delves into the topic of follicle culture for embryo production, with a particular emphasis on goat models. Specifically, we examine the main findings from LAMOFOPA-Brazil over the last 20 years, highlighting the challenges posed by oxidative stress and epigenetic changes. Our focus is on strategies to improve follicular development and oocyte maturation. Furthermore, we underscore the valuable role of the antioxidant anethole in optimizing the efficacy of follicle culture and improving outcomes in embryo production.
