Anti-Müllerian Hormone Related to Reproductive and Productive Longevity in Egyptian Buffaloes

In Egypt, few measures were introduced to improve the reproductive performance rin buffaloes and up to quite recently little efforts were made to improve their genetic potential. Although anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is the most reliable endocrine marker in assessing the potential for fertility over...
