GnRH vaccination is used in male horses to reduce sexual behaviour & gonadal function, but the time to regain fertility varies among individual animals. New treatment strategies with a GnRH agonist could more rapidly restore reproductive function: publish.csiro.au/RD/RD23185

Could undergoing assisted reproductive procedures alter the maternal gut microbiome? New research provides evidence that this is the case, with possible implications for the health of mother & fetus: publish.csiro.au/RD/fulltext…

The term ‘mitochondrial vesicle’ has been used in publications of amphibian reproduction since 2003- but could this term be a misnomer describing a non-existent structure?? Coming soon to RFD: publish.csiro.au/RD/justacce…

Could automated sensors improve reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle? Read on to delve into the benefits to both animal production, welfare and sustainability: publish.csiro.au/RD/RD23173

From fertilised oocyte to cultivated meat – could we harness bovine embryonic stem cells in the cultivated meat industry? A new paper suggests methods to meet the global demand for sustainable, nutritious & animal welfare–conscious protein sources: publish.csiro.au/RD/RD23169

With warming climates, livestock are becoming increasingly heat stressed. Could this be solved though embryo-mediated genome editing? By introducing a mutation in a gene to lighten coat colour, thermal energy absorption could be reduced in calves: publish.csiro.au/RD/fulltext…

Due to the technical complexity of ID-ing intracellular metabolites in human sperm, the association of these metabolites with fertility is unknown. Novel use of sensitivity-enhanced NMR spectroscopy presents an opportunity to explore this relationship: publish.csiro.au/RD/RD22246

1984: One of the first challenges @IETS_org addressed was disease transmission via the transfer of in vivo-derived bovine embryos. Now: a soon to be published manual in RFD provides global guidelines to ensure the safety of international embryo trade. publish.csiro.au/RD/justacce…

In Holstein dairy cows, plasma concentrations of ether phospholipids dramatically change around parturition & at first postpartum ovulation. Could phospholipid dynamics be important for cattle reproduction? Find out here: publish.csiro.au/RD/RD23057

The electromagnetic fields produced by electronic devices may affect our ability to reproduce. New research finds extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields alters pig endometrial DNA methylation levels during the peri-implantation period. publish.csiro.au/RD/RD22266
