The Correlation Between Anti-Müllerian Hormone Concentrations and Reproductive Parameters in Diffrent Age Groups in Purebred Arabian Mares

The objectives of this study were to examine correlations of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels with age, ovarian function and fertility performance in purebred Arabian mares and to assess the potential use of AMH concentrations as a fertility indicator for the selection of breeder animals. For this purpose, thirty-six non-lactating purebred Arabian mares with no previous fertility problems constituted the material of the study. The animals were assigned to groups according to their age: Group I (aged 4-8 years), group II (9-18 years) and group III (19-25 years). Mean serum AMH concentrations were significantly higher (P

Farklı Yaş Guruplarındaki Safkan Arap Kısraklarda Anti Müllerian Hormon Konsantrasyonları İle Reprodüktif Parametrelerin Korelasyonu

Bu çalışmanın amacı, safkan Arap kısraklarda serum anti-Müllerian hormon (AMH) seviyelerinin yaş, ovaryum fonksiyonları ve fertilite performansı ile korelasyonlarını incelemek ve AMH konsantrasyonlarının damızlık hayvan seçimi için fertilite göstergesi olarak potansiyel kullanımını değerlendirmektir. Bu amaçla çalışmanın materyalini herhangi bir fertilite problemi bulunmayan ve laktasyonda olmayan 36 Safkan Arap kısrak oluşturdu. Hayvanlar yaşlarına göre 3 gruba ayrıldı: Grup I (4-8 yaş), grup II (9-18 yaş) ve grup III (19- 25 yaş). Ortalama serum AMH konsantrasyonları, grup II’de (0.873±0.096 ng/mL) grup I (0.466±0.051 ng/mL) ve III’e (0.347±0.068 ng/mL) göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (P
