The effects of adult exposure to genistein on female reproductive outcomes
… to genistein affects fertility and pregnancy outcomes. To test this hypothesis, female mice were dosed with dietary levels of genistein (300, 500, or 1000 ppm) or a control diet for 30, 60, 150, or 240 days prior to mating. After the dosing period, animals were paired for breeding. This point …

Characterization of the vaginal microbiome in pregnancy
… microbiome plays an important role in women's reproductive health. Imbalances in this microbiota are associated with bacterial vaginosis, increased susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections, and negative reproductive outcomes. The causes of such variations, however, are poorly …

Utilization of early weaning and intrafollicular insemination as methods to improve the reproductive performance of cattle
Optimization of reproductive efficiency of both beef and dairy herds is critical for sustainability and profitability. Two separate experiments were performed to test the reproductive outcomes following early weaning of beef heifers and intrafollicular insemination in dairy cows. Early weaning is a …
