Abstract: Inhibins are dimeric gonadal glycoprotein hormones that negatively regulate pituitary FSH synthesis and secretion belonging to the transforming growth factorβsuperfamily of growth factors. Inhibin immunization has an important potential use in advancing the animal reproductive performance. In this paper, we briefly introduced the structure, characteristic of inhibin, as well as the mechanisms, the types, the methods and the influencing factors of inhibin immunization and its application in livestock husbandry.
