    • A Prospective Cohort Study on the Periparturient Muscle Tissue Mobilisation in High Producing Dairy Cows 

      Hatfield C., Tulley W., Hall R., Griffiths B.E., Foskolos A., Smith R.F., Oikonomou G. (2022)
      Excessive periparturient fat mobilisation and its association with dairy cattle health and fertility is well documented; however, the role of muscle mobilisation has not been studied extensively. The objectives of this ...
    • Sperm contributions to oocyte activation: more that meets the eye 

      Anifandis G., Messini C.I., Dafopoulos K., Daponte A., Messinis I.E. (2016)
      It is well known that for successful fertilization, oocyte activation is required, which involves a signal transduction cascade leading to the conversion of the oocyte to a diploid embryo. During oocyte activation, ...
    • A study on stress response and fertility parameters in phenotypically thermotolerant and thermosensitive dairy cows during summer heat stress 

      Nanas I., Chouzouris T.-M., Dadouli K., Dovolou E., Stamperna K., Barbagianni M., Valasi I., Tsiaras A., Amiridis G.S. (2020)
      It is well documented that heat stress (HS) causes subfertility in dairy cows. However, during the last ten years we have been observing that, under high temperature–humidity index (THI ≥ 75), despite the overall reduced ...
