Use of the Prostaglandin Analogue, Ici 80996, to Synchronise Ovulation in Sheep in an Artificial Insemination Programme
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects on fertility of single or double treatments with the prostaglandin analogue ICI 80996 were studied in a flock of Merino ewes in an artificial insemination programme. The number of ewes lambing in the double treatment group and the untreated group was significantly higher (P<0.001) than the number of ewes lambing in the single treatment group. However there were large day to day variations in both treatment groups which appeared to be attributable to day to day variations in ambient temperature.

Synchronization of Oestrus in Cattle, Sheep and Goats Using a Prostaglandin Analogue
Prostaglandin F~(Y, (PGF2a) causes luteolysis in several species of animals including cattle and sheep. This has led to investigations with PGF2a as an agent for the control of oestrus and ovulation in domestic animals (Inskeep 1973) and to comparison of PGF2a and progestins as practical methods of synchronizing oestrus in cattle (Smith 1973). This paper reports preliminary studies of the use o...
متن کاملFertility in Merino Ewes in Artificial Insemination Programmes following Synchronization of Ovulation Using Cloprostenol, a Prostaglandin Analogue
Ten field and laboratory experiments were conducted in which Merino ewes were treated with one or two 125pg injections of Cloprostenol, an analogue of prostaglandin F2a (PG). All treatments commenced in the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle. Sixty-six percent of ewes were detected in behavioural oestrus within 64 hr of completion of treatments although 95% of all treated ewes ovulated in appar...
متن کاملSynchronisation of ovulation for management of reproduction in dairy cows.
Important developments have occurred in the last two decades, since the advent of the Ovsynch protocol, on the understanding and use of synchronisation programmes for management of reproduction in dairy herds. This better understanding of oestrus cycle control associated with suboptimal reproductive performance in dairy herds has led dairy producers to quickly adopt timed artificial inseminatio...

The present study aimed to determine the effect of administrating prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and GnRH at the time of artificial insemination (AI) on the pregnancy per artificial insemination (P/AI) and the pregnancy survival rate of dairy cows. A number of 830 lactating Holstein cows were randomly divided into four groups. Cows in group 1 (n=200) treated with 150 µg d-cloprostenol. In group 2 (n...

The study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of an estradiol-17β + CIDR based protocol with the conventional ovsynch + CIDR based protocol for synchrony of wave emergence and ovulation in Murrah buffalos. In group I (n=25), on day 0 (beginning of experiment), buffaloes were administered a CIDR device (1.38 g P4) and concurrently received 1.5 mg E-17β. On day 9, the CIDR was removed and a pr...
