Similarly, females in the SOvn Group had 11.4 ± 2.4 and 17.4 ± 1.9 follicles >3 mm in each respective ovary. Uterine flushing and ovarian histology confirmed that females in LucrinþSOvn and SOvn Groups had not ovulated, but normal oocytes were present in the follicles. By comparison, the Control Group had ovulated with a single embryo being recovered from the uterus of 4 of 5 females. In contrast to all groups, females in the Lucrin Group showed follicular suppression (all follicles <1.5 mm) and an unstimulated reproductive tract. We conclude that a suppression plus stimulation regimen using Lucrin Depot followed by PMSG and hCG has the capacity to synchronise oestrus, and that 20 IU of PMSG stimulates the development of antral follicles >3 mm in both ovaries. However, a single 500 IU treatment of hCG on Day 23 RPY was not able to induce ovulation in the tammar wallaby.]]> Tue 05 Jul 2022 08:00:42 AEST ]]> Advances in oestrous synchronisation technology for assisted breeding in marsupials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32726 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:03:32 AEST ]]>
