This book was released on 2012 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reproductive management is an important factor for improving reproductive efficiency in the dairy industry. Reproductive efficiency affects the profitability of the dairy herd by decreasing days not pregnant and increasing milk produced in a cow's lifetime. There are many reproductive programs used to synchronize the estrous cycle. Prostaglandin F2[alpha] (PGF2[alpha])-based programs synchronize estrus before artificial insemination (AI) after observed estrus. Some disadvantages to PGF2[alpha]-based reproductive programs are time requirements necessary for estrus detection (2 to 3 times/d for about 30 min) and lack of estrus activity observed in dairy cows (only about 40% will show estrus). An advantage to PGF2[alpha]-based reproductive programs is acceptable conception rates (about 45 to 60%) that can surpass timed AI (TAI). Reproductive programs that employ TAI are achieved by synchronization of ovulation with a series of PGF2[alpha] and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) injections followed by insemination 16 h later. Some of the advantages to synchronization of ovulation followed by TAI are: no estrus detection and acceptable conception rates (40 to 50%). Many reproductive programs include a presynchronization step. The advantage to presynchronization is a tightened synchrony by getting more cows and heifers in the same stage of the estrous cycle before estrous synchronization and AI or TAI. There are a variety of presynchronization methods used in cattle. One of the most common programs is two injections of PGF2[alpha] 14 d apart 12 d before initiation of Ovsynch (d 0 GnRH, 7 d, PGF2[alpha], 56 h, GnRH, 16 h, TAI) (Moreira et al., 2001). Another is double Ovsynch where the Ovsynch program is administered 7 d before another Ovsynch program (Giordano et al., 2012). Long-term progestogens can also be used as a means to presynchronize the estrous cycle and has been successful in beef cows and heifers. Long term progestogens, such as a CIDR (controlled internal drug release) for 14 d, will suppress estrus, inhibit ovulation, and induce the development of a persistent dominant follicle that can ovulate after CIDR removal (Ahmad et al., 1995; Revah and Butler, 1996; Roche et al., 1999). Ovulation of the dominant follicle allows for cows and heifers to be late in the luteal stage of the estrous cycle before PGF2[alpha] and AI or PGF2[alpha], 56 h, GnRH, 16 h, TAI. Presynchronization has shown to decrease the days to pregnancy. This is an advantage because it will directly affect the number of days a cow is not pregnant and the amount of milk she will produce in her lifetime. The objective of this research was to evaluate pregnancies per AI, ovarian follicular and luteal development of postpartum dairy cows and dairy heifers in response to long term progestin-based programs (14dCIDR) compared with PGF2[alpha]-based programs. Experiment 1 (Chapter 2) evaluated the use of a 14dCIDR-PGF2[alpha] program to a PGF2[alpha]-alone program for synchronizing dairy heifers before AI. Heifers were examined by real-time ultrasonography during treatment to assess the ovarian response. Heifers were also monitored for estrus following presynchronization and treatment of PGF2[alpha] to assess ovulation response. The 14dCIDR-PGF2[alpha] system resulted in more heifers with a larger CL at the time of PGF2[alpha]. This is ideal because of the greater luteolytic effects of PGF2[alpha] has on a more mature CL. The 14dCIDR-PGF2[alpha] heifers were AI and became pregnant sooner compared with the PGF2[alpha]-alone heifers. Experiment 2 (Chapter 3) evaluated the use of a 14dCIDR_TAI program compared with a PGF2[alpha]-based program in grazing dairy cows. The 14dCIDR_TAI program employed synchronization of ovulation before TAI and the PGF2[alpha]-based program employed synchronization of estrus with AI after observed estrus. The evaluation of reproductive efficiency for each program was examined. Cows assigned to the 14dCIDR_TAI program were AI early in the breeding season and were all AI by the end the breeding season compared with the PGF2[alpha]-based program. The PGF2[alpha]-based program had a greater first service conception rate (FSCR) compared with the 14dCIDR_TAI program but did not achieve a greater number of pregnancies after two inseminations. Experiment 3 (Chapter 4) evaluated the use of a 14dCIDR_TAI program compared with another common TAI program (Presynch-Oysynch56) in postpartum lactating dairy cows. Follicular dynamics and luteal development were monitored in both programs. Each program was evaluated for effectiveness to presynchronize the estrous cycle and establish pregnancy. The 14dCIDR_TAI and the Presynch-Ovsynch56 programs were comparable in their effectiveness to presynchronize the estrous cycle and establish pregnancy in cows that were cycling. Non-cycling cows treated with the Presynch-Ovsynch56 program had lesser conception rate compared with those that were cycling. There was no difference in conception rate with non-cycling or cycling cows treated with the 14dCIDR_TAI. Experiment 4 (Chapter 5) evaluated the use of the 14dCIDR_TAI program with or without PGF2[alpha] at CIDR removal. It is possible for cows to still have a CL after the end of the 14dCIDR treatment either due to longer estrous cycles or the cow was early in her estrous cycle when the CIDR was inserted. The addition of PGF2[alpha] may help improve the synchrony and conception rates after presynchronization of the estrous cycle before TAI. The addition of the PGF2[alpha] at CIDR removal demonstrated an increase in the number of cows that showed estrus after presynchronization but conception rates were comparable. Overall, the use of the 14dCIDR as means to presynchronize the estrous cycle has been demonstrated as an effective way to enhance the synchrony and decrease the interval to pregnancy in dairy cows and heifers.
Book Synopsis Improving Dairy Cattle Fertility by : Jennifer A. Spencer
Download or read book Improving Dairy Cattle Fertility written by Jennifer A. Spencer and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In cattle, early embryonic loss may occur due to the premature secretion of prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a) during days 14-16 after fertilization. The objective of the first experiment in this study was to determine aspirin's effects on PGF2a during the luteal phase of the estrous cycle in lactating dairy cows by characterizing blood plasma prostaglandin metabolites (PGFM) and progesterone (P4) concentrations. Aspirin decreased PGFM for 30 hours after last bolus administration and increased the day to luteolysis. The objective of the second experiment was to determine the effectiveness of the initial gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in a 5-day CIDR (controlled internal drug releasing inserts)-Cosynch resynchronization protocol on fertility to second insemination in lactating dairy cows. No differences in pregnancy rate per artificial insemination (PR/AI) were observed between no GnRH (treatment) and GnRH (control) for the second insemination. Indicating that GnRH may not be necessary at the initiation of a CIDR-Cosynch resynchronization protocol.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this study were to determine whether conception, ovulation rates, presynchronization rates, or follicle and CL characteristics were altered after modifying the Double-Ovsynch (DO) protocol to include human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) compared to the conventional DO protocol in dairy heifers and lactating dairy cows. We hypothesized that replacing the first injection of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) in the DO protocol with hCG would increase the proportion of females that ovulate, thus improving the presynchronization rate leading to increased conception rates. Ovulation rates were increased in cows administered hCG compared to GnRH, but subsequent synchronization, and conception rates did not differ between treatments. A greater proportion of hCG-treated cows tended to fail to have undergone luteolysis compared to those treated with GnRH. In conclusion, no improvement in overall fertility was achieved by replacing the first injection of GnRH in the DO protocol with hCG.

Download or read book Hormonal Responses and Pregnancy Outcomes After Five-day Ovulation Synchronization and Presynchronization Programs in Lactating Dairy Cows written by Stephanie Leeann Pulley and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two experiments assessed pregnancy outcomes (pregnancy per AI; P/AI) after 5-d Ovsynch-56 Resynch (RES; GnRH injection 5 d before [GnRH-1; d 0] and 56 h (GnRH-2) after the last PGF2[alpha] [PGF] injection on d 6 given 24 h after first PGF injection on d 5, and TAI on d 8) with and without a 5-d progesterone insert. In Exp. 1, only 76% of 1,023 nonpregnant cows enrolled on d 34 post-AI had high ([equal to or greater than]1 ng/mL) progesterone. The RES-CIDR cows with low progesterone at treatment initiation had greater P/AI than RES-CON (37.7 vs. 29.4%), whereas RES-CIDR cows with high progesterone had lesser P/AI than RES-CON (27.4 vs. 34.3%) suggesting that supplemental progesterone is progesterone-dependent. In Exp. 2, 381 cows were enrolled in similar treatments on d 31 with RES on d 41post-AI plus a third treatment including PG-3-G (Pre-PGF on d 31, Pre-GnRH on d 34, and RES on d 41. The P/AI was similar among treatments but was greater in cows starting RES on d 41 when progesterone was low (44%) than high (33%). Experiment 3 determined LH and ovulatory responses in cows enrolled in two treatments before AI: 1) Pre10 (n = 37): PGF-1 and PGF-2 given 14 d apart (Presynch); or PG3G (n = 33): PGF given concurrent with the PGF-2, 3 d before GnRH-1 followed in 7 d by Ovsynch [injection of GnRH (GnRH-2) 7 d before PGF (PGF-3) and GnRH-3 at either 56 or 72 h after PGF-3] that was initiated 10 d after PGF-2 for Pre10 or 7 d after GnRH-1 of PG3G. The GnRH-1 increased incidences of LH surges and ovulation in PG3G compared with Pre10. The LH in serum of Pre10 was greater than that of cows receiving PG3G after GnRH-2. Following GnRH-3, cows receiving GnRH at 72 h had increased incidence of spontaneous LH surges before GnRH-3. The P/AI for PG3G vs. Pre10 and for 56 vs. 72 h was similar, but the Pre10-72 h treatment combination was less than all other treatment combinations. Release of LH is protocol dependent and flexibility of GnRH timing is an advantage for PG3G before first-service TAI.

The study was conducted through the integrated search of relevant authors,Äô research using key criteria of both inclusion and exclusion, with results from 244 articles analyzed, where 118 analyzed the interaction of energy balance and ovulation of dairy cows. Fifty-three articles relate the effective ovulation synchronization protocol for the luteal process and 73 articles analyze the effect of insulin in the luteal process; and finally 18 articles are important to address the problem; insulin can be altered as a metabolic hormone by the increase of fat components of the feed ration consumed by cows, thus influencing ovarian function; ovulation synchronization is necessary, which can be based on GnRH and insulin.
Book Synopsis Current and Future Reproductive Technologies and World Food Production by : G. Cliff Lamb
Download or read book Current and Future Reproductive Technologies and World Food Production written by G. Cliff Lamb and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the impacts of current and future reproductive technologies on our world food production and provides a significant contribution to the importance of research in the area of reproductive physiology that has never been compiled before. It would provide a unique opportunity to separate the impacts of how reproductive technologies have affected different species and their contributions to food production. Lastly, no publication has been compiled that demonstrates the relationship between developments in reproductive management tools and food production that may be used a reference for scientists in addressing future research areas. During the past 50 years assisted reproductive technologies have been developed and refined to increase the number and quality of offspring from genetically superior farm animal livestock species. Artificial insemination (AI), estrous synchronization and fixed-time AI, semen and embryo cryopreservation, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), in vitro fertilization, sex determination of sperm or embryos, and nuclear transfer are technologies that are used to enhance the production efficiency of livestock species.
