Editorial: Reproduction in Domestic Ruminants

Webb R

As stated in the first Proceedings, the economically important domestic species have been the subject of ongoing reproductive research over many decades. The aims of researchers and clinicians have been directed at increasing fecundity and fertility, to manipulate reproduction for simpler management, to increase the genetic influence of selected individuals and importantly to improve animal welfare. A group of international researchers initiated the first symposium in Australi...

Development of the dominant follicle: mechanisms of selection and maintenance of oocyte quality

Webb R , Campbell BK

For a follicle to reach dominance, in mono-ovulatory species such as cattle, requires the integration of a number of processes involving both extra-ovarian signals and intra-follicular paracrine and autocrine regulators. Ovarian transplant studies in both cattle and sheep demonstrated that it takes approximately 4 months for primordial follicles to reach dominance. Gonadotrophins are not a prerequisite for the continued growth of pre-antral follicles, unlike antral folliclcs, ...
