The relationship between periovulatory endocrine and
follicular activity on corpus luteum size, function, and
subsequent embryo survival
This study shows
that heifers could be inseminated up to 31.5 h before ovulation without compromising the probability of embryo survival. This study
suggests that there is an optimum range of follicle size within which high embryo survival rates can be achieved.
