Abstract
The overall objective of this project was to establish the effects of both long- and short-term changes in nutrition on ovarian follicle dynamics and on the systemic concentrations of metabolic and reproductive hormones. In order to avoid the confounding effects of lactation, suckling and maternal–calf bonding, beef heifers were used in a series of three studies.
