Genetic Evaluation for Female Fertility in Switzerland
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Switzerland, infertility is the main reason for involuntary culling of dairy cows. According to several studies, 25 to 35 % of dairy cows are culled because of reproductive problems (Rust, 2001; Aeberhard et al., 1997; Stärk et al., 1997). Failure to conceive, absent or unobservable cyclicity and embryonic loss are the most important culling reasons within the “reproductive problems”-complex, more important than problems at calving.

متن کاملMolecular Markers for Fertility in Farm Animals
A genetic marker is a gene or DNA sequence with known localization on a chromosome. It can be de-scribed as a variation that can be measured or detected by a suitable method, and can be used subsequently to detect the presence of a specific genotype. Such variations occurring at chromosomal or DNA level can serve as genetic markers. The progress in development of molecular markers suggests thei...

متن کاملOnm-18: The Causal for Repeated ImplantationFailures
Background: In spite of the great deal of research in assisted reproductive techniques, more than 80% of transferred embryos by IVF/ICSI methods fail to be implanted. The causes for repeated implantation failures (RIF) may be reduced endometrial receptivity or other various uterine pathologies, such as thin endometrium, altered expression of adhesive molecules or immunological factors; whereas ...
