Although it is now over 60 years since the report of the birth of the first calf from embryo transfer, utilisation of embryo transfer technology worldwide is not widespread. Limitations of conventional procedures for superovulation and embryo transfer are not limited to but include variability in response to superovulation, the labour intensive nature of superovulation procedures, time required between collections and cost of technology. Recently, harvest of ova and transfer of in vitro produced embryos has received more attention as a potential alternative to conventional superovulation and subsequent embryo transfer. Aspiration of follicular ova and in vitro embryo production offers potential advantages in reducing loss of female germplasm occurring through the natural process of ovarian follicular atresia, can increase yield of embryos from elite donor cows beyond that possible with superovulation, and provides a means of salvaging genetic material from valuable animals at slaughter or those culled for disease control or other reasons. Recent evidence indicates poor ovum quality is a major factor limiting in vitro embryo production and discovery of a role for intrinsic factors such as ovum follistatin and cumulus cell cathepsins in control of ovum quality has led to ongoing research on new technologies to increase yield of transferable embryos.","PeriodicalId":55271,"journal":{"name":"Cattle Practice","volume":"23 Pt 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7773171/pdf/nihms-1654605.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39105182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infections that occur, or that are not cured, during the dry period often result in clinical mastitis or raised somatic cell counts in early lactation. There is known to be large variability between herds in the patterns of dry period intramammary infections (IMI) and yet, until recently, there has been no information on farm determinants of the risk of IMI, other than in relation to dry cow treatments. In this paper we consider new research on cow characteristics, farm facilities and herd management strategies during the dry period in relation to clinical mastitis and raised somatic cell counts (SCC) in early lactation. We then describe, within a Bayesian framework, the concept of synthesising existing knowledge with new data to facilitate decision-making on dry cow management for individual farms.","PeriodicalId":55271,"journal":{"name":"Cattle Practice","volume":"16 ","pages":"200-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2008-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2854799/pdf/ukmss-3347.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28925436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
