The comparison between XB and HF cows revealed that the TEs production in CIDR-GnRH (XB = 5 vs HF = 13) and CIDR-EB (XB = 6 vs HF = 9) based superovulation protocols were 11.60  ±  4.08 vs 04.31  ±  0.98 and 09.33  ±  1.78 vs 05.22  ±  1.36, respectively. This evidence concerns the gene GNRH1 and hydrops fetalis.
