          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Estradiol benzoate (EB), estradiol cypionate (EC), and gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) were evaluated as ovulation inducers for TAI of crossbred lactating cows. In experiment I (n = 45), the follicular dynamics was evaluated, while in experiment II (n = 171) the reproductive efficiency was evaluated. All females were submitted to a synchronization protocol: insertion on day 0 (D0) of intravaginal progesterone -release intravaginal device (PRID; 1g) plus administration of EB 2mg; D8, PRID removal, administration of 0.150mg PGF2α and 400 IU of eCG, and cows were allocated into three treatments: 1) TEB9 - IM administration of 1mg EB on D9 and AI performed 52 hours after PRID removal; 2) TEC - IM administration of 1mg EC on D8 and AI performed 48 hours after withdrawal of PRID; and 3) TGnRH - administration of 100pg GnRH on D10 and AI performed 52 hours after removal of PRID. The follicular growth rate was lower in the EC group (p <0.05). There was no effect of treatments on ovulation and pregnancy rates (p >0.05). The use of EB, EC, and GnRH as ovulation inducers in the TAI protocol did not show marked differences in the evaluated patterns of follicular dynamics and pregnancy.

          RESUMO Benzoato de estradiol (EB), cipionato de estradiol (EC) e hormônio liberador de gonadotrofinas (GnRH) foram avaliados como indutores da ovulação na IATF em vacas mestiças em lactação. No experimento I (n=45) a dinâmica folicular foi avaliada, enquanto no experimento II (n=171) a eficiência reprodutiva foi avaliada. Todas as fêmeas foram submetidas a um protocolo de sincronização: inserção no dia 0 (D0) de dispositivo intravaginal de liberação de progesterona (PRID; 1g) mais administração de EB 2mg; D8, remoção de PRID, administração de 0,150mg de PGF2α e 400 UI de eCG, e as vacas foram alocadas em três tratamentos: 1) TEB9 - administração IM de 1mg EB em D9 e AI realizada 52 horas após a remoção PRID; 2) TEC - administração IM de 1mg EC em D8 e AI realizada 48 horas após a remoção de PRID; e 3) TGnRH - administração de 100μg GnRH em D10 e AI realizada 52 horas após a remoção de PRID. A taxa de crescimento folicular foi menor no grupo EC (p <0,05). Não houve efeito dos tratamentos nas taxas de ovulação e prenhez (p >0,05). O uso de EB, EC e GnRH como indutores de ovulação em protocolos de IATF não mostrou diferenças marcantes nos padrões avaliados de dinâmica folicular e prenhez.

          The use of hormonal treatments to improve reproductive performance of anestrous beef cattle in tropical climates.

          Most of the world's bovine herd is found in tropical regions. Bos indicus predominates, due to their adaptation to the climate and management conditions. Anestrous is the main factor that negatively affects reproductive performance of animals bred in these regions of the globe. Several factors affect postpartum anestrous, including suckling and maternal-offspring bond, and pre- and postpartum nutritional status. The short duration of estrus and the tendency to show estrus during the night, greatly affect the efficiency of artificial insemination (AI) programs in B. indicus cattle managed in tropical areas. Several restricted suckling or weaning procedures (temporary or permanent), and hormonal treatments have been used to induce ovulation and cyclicity in postpartum cows. Most hormonal treatments are based on progesterone/progestogen (P4) releasing devices associated with estradiol benzoate (EB), or a combination of GnRH/PGF(2alpha)/GnRH (Ovsynch). Treatments with GnRH/PGF(2alpha)/GnRH has presented inconsistent results, probably due to the variable number of cows in anestrous. Treatments using P4 devices and EB have resulted in apparently more consistent results than Ovsynch programs in B. indicus cattle; however, pregnancy rates are low in herds presenting high anestrous rates and moderate to low body condition. The addition of an eCG treatment at the time of device removal, which increased plasma progesterone concentrations and pregnancy rates in anestrous postpartum suckled B. indicus cows, may be useful to improve reproductive performance of beef cattle in tropical climates.

            Fixed-time artificial insemination with estradiol and progesterone for Bos indicus cows I: basis for development of protocols.

            Five experiments were conducted on commercial farms in Brazil aiming to develop a fixed-time artificial insemination (TAI) protocol that achieved pregnancy rates between 40% and 55% in Bos indicus cows. These studies resulted in the development of the following protocol: insertion of an intravaginal device containing 1.9 g of progesterone (CIDR) plus 2.0mg im estradiol benzoate on Day 0; 12.5mg im dinoprost tromethamine on Day 7 in cycling cows or on Day 9 in anestrous cows; CIDR withdrawal plus 0.5mg im estradiol cypionate plus temporary calf removal on Day 9; TAI (48h after CIDR withdrawal) plus reuniting of calves with their dams on Day 11. Reduced dose of prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha); 12.5mg im dinoprost tromethamine) effectively caused luteolysis. In cycling cows, fertility was greater when the treatment with PGF(2alpha) was administered on Day 7 than on Day 9, but in anestrous cows, no effects of time of the PGF(2alpha) treatment were found. Estradiol cypionate effectively replaced estradiol benzoate or gonadotropin-releasing hormone as the ovulatory stimulus, reducing labor and cost. In this protocol, CIDR inserts were successfully used four times (9 d each use) with no detrimental effects on fertility.

              Follicular deviation and acquisition of ovulatory capacity in bovine follicles.

              Selection of dominant follicles in cattle is associated with a deviation in growth rate between the dominant and largest subordinate follicle of a wave (diameter deviation). To determine whether acquisition of ovulatory capacity is temporally associated with diameter deviation, cows were challenged with purified LH at known times after a GnRH-induced LH surge (experiment 1) or at known follicular diameters (experiments 2 and 3). A 4-mg dose of LH induced ovulation in all cows when the largest follicle was > or =12 mm (16 of 16), in 17% (1 of 6) when it was 11 mm, and no ovulation when it was < or =10 mm (0 of 19). To determine the effect of LH dose on ovulatory capacity, follicular dynamics were monitored every 12 h, and cows received either 4 or 24 mg of LH when the largest follicle first achieved 10 mm in diameter (experiment 2). The proportion of cows ovulating was greater (P < 0.05) for the 24-mg (9 of 13; 69.2%) compared with the 4-mg (1 of 13; 7.7%) LH dose. To determine the effect of a higher LH dose on follicles near diameter deviation, follicular dynamics were monitored every 8 h, and cows received 40 mg of LH when the largest follicle first achieved 7.0, 8.5, or 10.0 mm (experiment 3). No cows with a follicle of 7 mm (0 of 9) or 8.5 mm (0 of 9) ovulated, compared with 80% (8 of 10) of cows with 10-mm follicles. Thus, follicles acquired ovulatory capacity at about 10 mm, corresponding to about 1 day after the start of follicular deviation, but they required a greater LH dose to induce ovulation compared with larger follicles. We speculate that acquisition of ovulatory capacity may involve an increased expression of LH receptors on granulosa cells of the dominant follicle and that this change may also be important for further growth of the dominant follicle.
