The stage at which follicle-enclosed cumulus-oocyte complexes achieve developmental competence in primates is unknown. Therefore, studies were designed to characterize the ability of oocytes in small antral follicles present during the menstrual cycle to spontaneously resume meiosis, fertilize, and support early embryo development. Ovaries were removed from adult rhesus monkeys (n = 12) during ...

One of the important factors influencing environment is agro-industrial production, mainly agriculture, which most characterized by physical and agrochemical degradation soil cover Ukraine, expressed in loss humus essential nutrients. The threatening process humus, content over past 20 years has decreased an average 0.22% absolute terms, balance negative. phosphorus-potassium regime soils deter...

Stem cells are unique that have the ability to differentiate into with specific functions and renew themselves produce new stem cells. One type of actively studied is Spermatogonial Cells (SSC). SSC a unipotent cell develops spermatozoa in mammalian testis. can be transplanted male testis recipients improve genetic quality livestock propagate valuable livestock. transplantation procedure starte...

Abstract Although science education and mathematics share many characteristics as neighboring research disciplines, comparisons between the two fields in literature have rarely been made. In this study, we examine fields’ similarities differences local context of South Korea by analyzing 2,426 articles published 15 selected journals from both fields. The analysis revealed interesting commonalit...

In this study, three different age groups of male broodstocks (4, 5 and 6 years respectively) were used to fertilize eggs obtained from nine females. The results showed that 6 year old males had maximum body weight (1766 g), total length (56.3 cm) and sperm volume (31.83 ml). Results did not show significant difference in spermatocrit and spermatozoa concentration among age groups (p>0.05). Our...

The present study aimed to compare the in vitro fertilizing capacity of frozen-thawed ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa in order to standardize the semen preparation protocol for camel in vitro fertilization (IVF). Semen samples were collected from 7 Dromedary camels by means of artificial vagina (AV). Ten cauda epididymes were obtained from slaughtered adult camels, isolated, incised and r...

A and how the response of management affects them are considered. The information collected in a soil survey helps in the development of land-use plans and evaluates and predicts the effects of land use on the environment. Soil surveys were first authorized in the United States in 1896. Although extensive writings on husbandry by L.J.M. Columella were published in the first century A.D., practi...
