It is the first time we attempted to recognize the role of ovum in controlling gender of a fetus in farm animals. Pretentision is to discover a mechanism of sperm selection by an ovum during the process of fertilization.Pretension is that from millions of sperm an ovum makes own selection a partner sperm to complete the fertilization process. >>
