Molecule increases pregnancy rate and number of offspring in cattle

Researchers at Inprenha Biotecnologia, a company based in Jaboticabal, São Paulo State, Brazil, working in partnership with colleagues at the University of São Paulo’s Ribeirão Preto School of Pharmaceutical Sciences (FCFRP-USP), have discovered a molecule that can increase bovine pregnancy rates and reduce early embryo loss. The resulting drug enhances reproductive efficiency in domestic animals such as cattle and horses.
