Abstract

Knowledge of the reproductive characteristics of bovine females is essential for veterinarians to be able to perform work inherent to reproduction. In this sense, the anatomical knowledge allows the veterinarian to observe the structures present in the bovine reproductive tract and the functionality of such structures. Another point to be highlighted is the understanding of the events present in the estrous cycle and how these facts influence the behavior of the female. In addition, follicular dynamics are an indispensable part of the study, since ovarian physiology is the basis of reproduction with influences on the production of hormones and on gametogenesis. In this perspective, the present study aims at listing several peculiarities present in bovine reproduction through a literature review.
