The use of pre-pubertal calves as oocyte donors offers a considerable potential to increase the genetic gain lowering the generations interval, as well as increase the usage of bovine females with high genetic value. The objectives of this study were to analyze the effect of age and of the stimulatory treatment with gonadotropins in the follicular response, the recovery rate, quantity and quality of oocytes of the prepubertal Nelore (B. t. indicus) calves. Twelve Nelore prepubertal females were stimulated with […]
