Immunological manipulation of ovulation rate for twinning in cattle

Hillard MA , Wilkins JF , Cummins LJ , Bindon BM , Tsonis CG , Findlay JK , O’Shea T

Unlike in sheep, in which immunization against androstenedione causes mild and reasonably controlled increased ovulation rate, in similar studies cattle showed highly variable responses ranging from increased ovulation rate and fertility through to anovulation/anoestrus or superovulation. As a consequence, interest in manipulation of ovulation rate through this approach has declined and is now focused on immunological manipulation of endogenous inhibin following successful stu...
