Oviducal fluid is important in the reproductive process because of its key function in relation to fertilization and early development of the embryo. Hafez & Blandau (1969) reported an abundance of information concerning the fluid and its function in several species but only a limited amount of information is available on protein and amino acid concentration in bovine oviducal fluids. Olds & VanDemark (1957) published data on bovine fluids obtained by stripping slaughterhouse reproductive tracts.
Fahning, Schultz & Graham (1967) collected uterine fluid from adult dairy cows during various stages of the oestrous cycle and analysed it for free amino acid content. Loe, Roussel & Patrick (1970) reported on the protein and amino acid content of fluids collected from dairy heifers using the technique described
Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
