Abstract:
1. A method for predicting a number of transferable embryos or fertilizable oocytes able to be produced by an individual non-human female animal subject after superovulatory treatment, said method comprising: a) determining an anti-Mullerian hormone concentration in a blood sample before an ovarian superovulatory treatment by measuring the anti-Mullerian hormone concentration in the blood sample; and b) comparing said concentration with a reference value, wherein if the measured anti-Mullerian hormone concentration is greater than the reference value, then the animal is considered as having a good capacity to produce transferable embryos or fertilizable oocytes; and wherein the reference value in the plasma of bovine species is between 100 and 200 pg/ml for production of more than 10 transferable embryos per ovarian superovulatory treatment.
