Effects of Natural Service and Artificial Insemination Breeding Systems on Pregnancy Characteristics and Weaning Weights
نویسندگان
چکیده
A similar proportion of beef cows and heifers exposed to estrous synchronization (ES) and artificial insemination (AI) became pregnant during the breeding season, compared with females bred via natural service breeding. Females in a breeding system that included ES and AI calved earlier in the calving season, compared with females bred with natural service, but no advantage was present for weight of calves at weaning.

Effects of estradiol and oxytocin injection on the efficiency of artificial insemination in Iranian Zel ewes during the breeding season
In sheep industry, pregnancy rate after artificial insemination (AI) declines due to the complex anatomy of the cervix in ewes, such that it might prevent effective intrauterine insemination. At estrus, cervical relaxation occurs to some degree in ewes, which is regulated by the changes in the levels of reproductive hormones. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of estradiol and intravenous...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate artificial insemination techniques on reproductive performance in Ghezel ewes synchronized with CIDR during breeding season. Methods: All ewes were treated with controlled internal drug release device (CIDR) inserted into the vagina of the ewes for 14 days. All ewes were treated a single intramuscular (IM) dose of PMSG was injected. In thi...
متن کاملFactors That Influence Fertility in Natural and Synchronized Breeding Programs
Reproductive failure is a major source of economic loss in the beef industry. The majority of this loss occurs because cows do not become pregnant during a defined breeding season. Therefore, the goal of any breeding program is to maximize the number of females that become pregnant. This means that fertility plays a major role in the success of any breeding program. This review will focus on th...

Background: Due to the seasonality reproduction of albino hamster (April to October in the Northern Hemisphere) and the need to produce blastocysts for research applications, producing and collecting blastocysts by natural mating in non-breeding season is complex in this species. In the present study in vivo blastocysts production and collection using super-ovulation and intrauterine inseminati...
