Oocyte Physiology and Development in Domestic Animals

Oocyte Physiology and Development in Animals

Oocyte Physiology and Development in Domestic Animals provides an overview of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms involved in oocyte growth, maturation, and development. The book examines folliculogenesis, oocyte competence, gene expression, metabolism, in vitro follicle culture, and the effects of in vitro maturation on oocyte quality and developmental outcomes. It is a valuable reference for researchers and students in animal reproduction, reproductive biology, embryology, and veterinary science.
