EFFECT OF ORAL UREA SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE ENDOMETRIAL TRANSCRIPTOME OF MARES
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: At ovulation detection (D0), oral treatment with urea was initiated and continued until D7. Mares received a treatment or control diet (n= 11 mares/group) in a crossover design. The treated group received urea (0.4 g/kg body weight) mixed with sweet feed and molasses, the control group received sweet feed and molasses alone. Blood samples were collected daily, one hour after feeding, for BUN determination. Uterine and vaginal pH were evaluated with an epoxy pH probe. Endometrial biopsies were taken transcervically one hour after the last feeding on D7. RNA sequencing of the endometrium of a subset of mares (n=6/group) was conducted.
