ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effects of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) administration (Experiment 1) and a controlled internal drug-releasing (CIDR) insert (Experiment 2) after timed artificial insemination (TAI) on the pregnancy rates of dairy cows. In Experiment 1, 569 dairy cows that underwent TAI (day 0) following short-term synchronization with prostaglandin F(2α) were randomly allocated into two groups: no further treatment (control, n = 307) or injection of 100 µg of gonadorelin on day 5 (GnRH, n = 262). In Experiment 2, 279 dairy cows that underwent TAI (day 0) following Ovsynch were randomly allocated into two groups: no further treatment (control, n = 140) or CIDR insert treatment from days 3.5 to 18 (CIDR, n = 139). The probability of pregnancy following TAI did not differ between the GnRH (34.4%) and control (31.6%, p > 0.05) groups. However, the probability of pregnancy following TAI was higher (odds ratio: 1.74, p < 0.05) in the CIDR group (51.1%) than in the control group (39.3%). Overall, CIDR insert treatment at days 3.5 to 18 increased pregnancy rates relative to non-treated controls, whereas a single GnRH administration on day 5 did not affect the pregnancy outcomes of dairy cows.

ABSTRACT

Objetivando-se subsidiar pesquisas envolvendo sincronização de estros e ovulação em bovinos, pretende-se com este estudo, avaliar a dinâmica folicular e a concentração de progesterona em vacas Nelore submetidas a um protocolo de sincronização e IATF. Para tanto, sete vacas adultas foram submetidas à IATF, seguindo o protocolo: implante intravaginal de progesterona no dia zero (D0) e aplicação de benzoato de estradiol; D7 retirada do implante e aplicação de PGF2alfa; D8 administração de hCG, e D9 IATF. Da retirada do implante até a IATF, as vacas foram submetidas, duas vezes ao dia (manhã e tarde) à ultrassonografia transretal, para avaliação do número e diâmetro folicular em cada ovário. O sangue foi coletado para dosagem de progesterona nos dias: implante, retirada, dois, 10, 15, 18 e 23 dias após a retirada do implante. O diagnóstico de gestação foi realizado 60 dias da IATF por palpação transretal. Após análise de variância, o número e diâmetro folicular entre os ovários direito (OD) e esquerdo (OE) foi comparado pelo Teste F, e a concentração de progesterona pelo SNK (5% de significância). A dinâmica de crescimento folicular durante o período estudado foi semelhante entre os ovários (p>0,05). Observaram-se queda no número médio de folículos na manhã do dia da retirada do implante até a tarde da IATF (5,50 + 2,99 e 4,36 + 2,00 folículos, respectivamente) (p<0,05). O diâmetro médio do maior folículo foi superior no OE que no OD (7,35 + 6,34 mm e 5,49 + 4,59, respectivamente) (p<0,05), embora o OE tenha apresentado diâmetro médio diário semelhante ao observado no OD. No entanto, no dia da IATF à tarde o diâmetro folicular médio diminuiu (3,32 + 3,39 mm) (p<0,05). Já a concentração média de progesterona foi semelhante (p>0,05). Concluí-se que vacas Nelore submetidas a sincronização de estro utilizada nesse estudo apresentaram maior folículo no OE, cujo diâmetro diminuiu no momento da IATF.


The purpose of this study is to evaluate the follicular dynamics and progesterone concentration of Nellore cows artificially inseminated in fixed time. Seven Nellore cows were submitted to FTAI on the following protocol: animals received an intravaginal progesterone device on day zero (D0) and injection of estradiol. After 7 days (D7), the device was removed and PGF2alpha administered. On the eighth day (D8) of hCG were administered, and, on the ninth Day (D9), the FTAI. The animals had their blood collected for the dosage of serum progesterone by the solid-phase radioimmunoassay technique, which was conducted on the days of the insertion, on the removal, on days 2, 10, 15, 18, and 23 after the insertion removal. The same animals were submitted, twice a day (morning and afternoon), to transrectal ultrasonography for the assessment of the moment of the removal of the device until the FTAI, the amount of follicles in each ovarium (right and left) and the diameter of the longest follicle in each of them. The diagnosis of gestation through transrectal palpation was carried out 60 days later. The progesterone concentration was submitted to analysis of variance (AV) and compared throughout the days with Student Newman Keuls test (SNK). The amount of follicles and the diameter of the longest follicle were also submitted to AV, but compared to with the F test. They all considered a 5% significance. The dynamics of follicular growth during the studied period was similar between the ovaries (p>0.05). Decrease of the average amount of follicles in the morning of the day of the device removal until the afternoon of the day of FTAI, from 5.50 + 2.99 to 4.36 + 2.00 follicles, respectively (p<0.05), were noticed. The average diameter of the longest follicle was higher for the left ovarium, 7.35 + 6.34 mm and 5.49 + 4.59, respectively (p<0.05), even though the left ovarium presented daily average diameter similar to that noticed for the right ovarium follicles.


Con el objetivo de subsidiar investigaciones involucrando sincronización de estros y ovulación en bovinos, se buscó con este estudio, evaluar la dinámica ovárica y concentración de progesterona en vacas Nelore sometidas a un protocolo de sincronización e IATF. Para esto, siete vacas adultas fueron sometidas a IATF, siguiendo el protocolo: implante intravaginal de progesterona en el día cero (D0) y aplicación de benzoato de estradiol; D7 remoción del implante y aplicación de PGF2alfa; D8 administración de hCG, y D9 IATF. De la remoción del implante hasta IATF, las vacas fueron sometidas, dos veces al día (mañana y tarde) a ecografía transrectal, para evaluación del número y diámetro folicular en cada ovario. La sangre fue recogida para dosificación de progesterona en los días: implante, remoción, 2, 10, 15, 18 y 23 días tras la remoción del implante. El diagnóstico de preñez se realizó 60 días de IATF por palpación transrectal. Tras análisis de variación, el número y diámetro folicular entre los ovarios derecho (OD) e izquierdo (OE) se comparó por Test F, y la concentración de progesterona por SNK (5% de significación). La dinámica de crecimiento folicular durante el período estudiado fue semejante entre los ovarios (p> 0.05). Se observaron caída en el número medio de folículos en la mañana de la remoción del implante, hasta la tarde de IATF (5.50 + 2.99 y 4.36 + 2.00 folículos) respectivamente (p< 0.05). El diámetro medio del mayor folículo fue superior en el OE que en el OD (7.35 + 6.34 mm y 5.49 + 4.59, respectivamente) (p< 0.05), aunque el OE haya presentado diámetro medio diario semejante al observado en el OD.

ABSTRACT

Avaliaram-se a eliminação da progesterona em veículo de liberação lenta (P4LA) em animais zebus e mestiços e sua potencial aplicabilidade em programas de sincronização de estro, utilizando-se 60 bezerras, 30 da raça Nelore e 30 mestiças (Gir x Holandês), entre 120 e 150 dias de idade e peso médio de 150kg. Em cada grupo experimental as bezerras foram divididas em três subgrupos (G) de 10 animais, sendo GI = controle (tratado com 5ml de solução fisiológica por via intramuscular); GII = tratado com 450mg P4LA (3ml IM); e GIII = tratado com 750mg P4LA (5ml IM). Amostras de sangue foram coletadas no dia zero, 7 e 13 (D0, D7 e D13) e procedeu-se à análise hormonal por radioimunoensaio de fase sólida. A progesterona de ação prolongada (P4LA), administrada por via intramuscular, manteve-se por 13 dias na corrente sangüínea em concentrações superiores a 1ng/ml. As doses de 450mg e 750mg de P4LA não ocasionaram efeitos adversos sistêmicos clinicamente perceptíveis, e o metabolismo da P4LA foi mais lento nas bezerras Nelore, cuja concentração de progesterona foi maior na corrente sangüínea do que nas bezerras mestiças.


The clearance of long-acting progesterone in microspheres (P4LA) in zebu animals and its potential for use in estrus synchronization were evaluated using 30 Nelore and 30 crossbreed (Holstein x zebu) heifers, with aging between 120 to 150-day-old and weighting 150kg in average. For each breed the animals were divided into three groups of ten animals each, GI= control group treated with saline; GII= treated with 450mg of P4LA; and GIII= treated with 750mg of long-acting progesterone (P4LA). Blood samples were colleted on days 0, 7 and 13 and analysed for progesterone using radioimmunoassay in solid phase. The serum concentration of progesterone was different on days 0, 7 and 13 in relation to the dose of P4LA given. All treated animals presented basal values for progesterone on day 0, increased on day 7 and decreased on day 13, but with values over 1ng/ml. The results show that the drug was absorbed rapidly after its administration and remained in satisfactory concentration in the circulation until day 13. The average total concentration of serum progesterone was higher in Nelore heifers when compared to the concentration in crossbreed ones, indicating difference in the metabolism of the drug between the two genetic groups.
