However, the effects of different
nutritional sources on the quality of goat oocytes as cytoplasts for cloning have not yet been evaluated. To address this concept, goats
were fed with alternative diets, assessing potential differences in
dietary intake, productive performance, follicular response after
ovarian stimulation, metabolite levels in plasma and follicular fluid
prior to oocyte retrieval, gene expression in matured oocytes, and
embryo yield after cloning.
