Effect of circulating anti-Mullerian hormone on the reproductive potential of gilts.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Determination of the ovarian follicular reserve is of great value for predicting fertility, while circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) plays an important role in maintaining the ovarian reserve.

Methods

In this study, we examined the effect of circulating AMH levels of gilts between 110 and 160 days of age on reproductive performance and evaluated the differences in the ovaries and uteruses of gilts with different AMH levels.

Results

The results indicated a significant negative correlation between circulating AMH levels from days 110 to 160 and puberty (p < 0.05). Moreover, the total born, live born, and the herd retention rate across 3 successive parities were found to be higher in high-AMH gilts than in low-AMH ones. Uterine morphology was as
