Description
Summary:An abstract by Gomes et al identifying cows with follicular fluid androgen excess that exhibit anovulation and have altered circulating sex hormone binding globulin, gonadotropin secretion, and plasma and follicular fluid composition is presented. The altered metabolic factors may influence gonadotropin hormone secretion resulting in altered reproductive cycles and reduced calving rate in these High A4 cows.
