Prevalence of lameness and claw lesions during different stages in the reproductive cycle of sows and the impact on reproduction results Universiteit Gent
Balancing animal welfare and assisted reproduction: ethics of preclinical animal research for testing new reproductive technologies Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Gent
In the field of medically assisted reproduction (MAR), there is a growing emphasis on the importance of introducing new
assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) only after thorough preclinical safety research, including the use of animal models.
At the same time, there is international support for the three R’s (replace, reduce, refine), and the European Union even
aims at the full replacement of animals for research. The ...

Exploring attitudes and experiences with reproductive genetic carrier screening among couples seeking medically assisted reproduction: a longitudinal survey study KU Leuven
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the attitudes and experiences of subfertile couples applying for medically assisted reproduction (MAR) using their own gametes towards reproductive genetic carrier screening (RGCS) for monogenic conditions. METHODS: A prospective survey study was conducted where subfertile couples were recruited from the fertility centre of a university hospital in Flanders, Belgium. Participants were offered RGCS free of ...
Effect of the queen on worker reproduction and new queen production in the bumble bee Bombus terrestris Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
We tested the hypotheses that a non-volati le pheromone inhibiting worker egg-laying and queen development produced by Bombus terrestris queens has effects transferable (a) from workers to other workers or larvae, or (b) on wax. We subdivided small, Young colonies with a single mesh screen (Experiment 1) and larger, older colonies with a double mesh screen (Experiment 2). One treatment (in both experiments) involved the transfer of workers, and ...
Weather and trade-offs between growth and reproduction regulate fruit production in European forests Universiteit Antwerpen
Some tree species have a highly variable year-to-year pattern of reproduction which has repercussions for the entire ecosystem. Links between meteorological variability, fruit production and crown cover, and trade-offs between reproduction and vegetative growth, remain elusive, despite a long history of research. We explored how meteorological conditions determined variations in fruit production and crown cover and how remotely sensed vegetation ...
The effect of pegbovigrastim on early-lactation disease, production, and reproduction in dairy cows Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
The objective of this randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was to evaluate the effect of pegbovigrastim (pegylated recombinant bovine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) on early-lactation disease, milk yield, and reproduction on commercial dairy farms. A total of 1,607 Holstein cows from 6 farms in Ontario and Quebec, Canada, were randomly assigned to receive two 2.7-mL subcutaneous injections of either 15 mg of pegbovigrastim (n = ...
