Article Synopsis
- Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is linked to ovarian reserve, with maternal and environmental factors influencing its levels during early fetal development in dairy heifers.
- This study aimed to investigate if maternal growth before conception and early gestation affects AMH concentrations in female offspring, with a hypothesis that excessive growth would lead to lower AMH levels.
- Results indicated that increasing maternal growth linked to an initial pregnancy diagnosis correlated with reduced AMH in calves, though this accounted for only a small portion of variability in AMH levels.
