As many areas of the veterinary medicine, clinical endocrinology has experienced significant advances in the knowledge of physiology, physiopathology and the diagnosis of diseases in domestic animals. The present review seeks to provide an up-to-date information of most currently used endocrine t...
The in vitro development of matured and fertilised bovine oocytes was compared between two culture systems. Oocytes were collected by aspiration of follicles of 3-8 mm in diameter using an 18g needle. After morphological selection the oocytes were incubated at 39 degrees C, 5% C0(2) and 95% relat...

Iodine (I) content of rations is a factor associated with the blood concentration of thyroxine (T-4) and triiodothyronine (T-3) in cattle. In herds from southern Chile, low blood concentrations of T-4 in grazing dairy cows have been reported. The objective was to obtain information about the I co...
