Thirty gilts were unilaterally ovariectomised (ULO) during the luteal stage of their first oestrous cycle. Half of the ULO gilts were fed at 1.2 maintenance requirement (M), while the other half were fed at 2.4 M. Across ULO gilts 0.8 more embryos survived in the ipsilateral horn compared with the contralateral horn at Day 35 of gestation (P &amp;lt; 0.05). In ULO gilts on the 2.4 M feed level the difference (+1.3; P &amp;lt; 0.05) between the ipsi- and contralateral horn was more pronounced than on the 1.2 M feed level (+0.4; NS). The higher feed level reduced circulating levels of systemic progesterone on Day 5 of pregnancy but not embryo survival at Day 35. However, post-implantation embryo survival was lower on the low feed level. In conclusion, these data indicate that local progesterone supply from the ovaries to the uterus contributes to the probability of embryo survival.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1071\/rd10333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,25]],"date-time":"2011-08-25T21:13:06Z","timestamp":1314306786000},"page":"921-928","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Direct ovarian\u2013uterine transfer of progesterone increases embryo survival in gilts"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"R.
