Also, a general overview of the ovarian cycle, uterine changes, development of the placenta, nutritional and immunological mechanisms of embryo acceptance and protection, as well as some of the most outstanding causes of embryo/foetus mortality. Each chapter involves a general discussion of relevant and pertinent research findings, including already accepted facts and those which open the possibility of new research directions. Synthesis of possible mechanisms of main biological phenomena are illustrated. More than 400 references were taken into account and herein presented, as well as photographs and illustrations. 606 $aVeterinary medicine 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aAnatomy, Comparative 606 $aVeterinary Clinical Medicine 606 $aVeterinary Science 606 $aAnimal Physiology 606 $aAnimal Anatomy 615 0$aVeterinary medicine. 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aAnatomy, Comparative. 615 14$aVeterinary Clinical Medicine. 615 24$aVeterinary Science. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aAnimal Anatomy. 676 $a636.208926 700 $aHernández$b Aureliano$01769639 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910887889003321 996 $aBovine Maternal Support and Embryo Survival$94241404 997 $aUNINA
