The poll gene is linked to a gene for intersex in goats so breeding a pure poll breed of goats is not possible as too many kids will be intersex and also fewer females will be born.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of neurologic impairment and death that remains poorly understood. Rodent models have yet to produce clinical therapies, and the exploration of larger and more diverse models remains... more
The effects of α-tocopherol and ternatin on the morphology, activation, and growth of goat preantral follicles in vitro cultured, for one or five days, were evaluated. Ovarian fragments were immediately fixed (non-cultured control) or in... more
Caprine preantral follicles within ovarian fragments were exposed to or vitrified in the presence of sucrose, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG), or various combinations thereof. The fragments were cryopreserved by using... more
Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue may be a potential alternative for the conservation of genetically superior animals, including high milk- and meat-producing goat breeds. However, until now, no information was available concerning the... more
Factors that control the onset of folliculogenesis are critical to female gamete production, but poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of FSH and EGF on the activation and growth of goat primordial... more
Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis is a viral disease of goats with no treatment or vaccine. It can however be eradicated from herds by snatch birthing kids from sero-positive mothers and raising these kids in isolation.
Preantral follicles (PFs) form a far larger oocyte reservoir (~90% of the follicular population) than antral follicles. Several laboratories have focussed efforts on cryopreservation and in vitro culture (IVC) of PFs to obtain large... more
In this study we aimed testing the efficiency of a newly developed device for vitrification of ovaries without contact with liquid nitrogen, Ovarian Tissue Cryosystem (OTC). From each ovarian pair, fragments were recovered and immediately... more
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the addition of IGF-1 to the in vitro culture (IVC) medium on the development of caprine and bovine preantral follicles ≥150 μm in diameter. Caprine and bovine preantral follicles were... more
