Effect Of A Non-Steroidal Aromatase Inhibitor On Ovarian Function And Synchronicity Of Estrus In Ewes At Subtropics

Effects of non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor letrozole on ovarian function in ewe were investigated through testing the hypothesis that letrozole will arrest the growth of dominant follicles, resulting in the emergence of a new follicular wave at a predictable post-treatment interval. Treatment ewes...
