چکیده

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of dose of exogenous progesterone (P4) prior to artificial insemination on concentrations of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and on conception rates in bovine females. Heifers (n = 100) and cows (n = 100) received P4-releasing intravaginal devices (PRIDs) to produce two different circulating concentrations of P4. All animals received a single PRID 10 days before (Day-10) the start of the breeding season (Day 0). In animals that received the low dose of P4 (1 PRID, target concentration of 2-3 ng/ml of plasma), the original PRID remained in place for 10 days. In animals that received the larger dose of P4 (2 PRIDs, target concentration of 5-8 ng/ml of plasma), an additional PRID was inserted on Day -9. To maintain concentrations of P4 in the 2-PRID group, the PRIDs inserted on Days -10 and -9 were replaced with new PRIDs on Days -5 and -4, respectively. Prostaglandin F2 alpha (25 mg) was administered to all animals on Days -9 and -3 to remove the endogenous source of P4. Following PRID removal, animals were artificially inseminated 12 h after signs of behavioral estrus were observed. A treatment-by-day interaction (p < 0.0001) was observed for concentrations of P4 in circulation of both heifers and cows. Animals that received 2 PRIDs had greater (p < 0.001) concentrations of P4 by Day-8 of treatment than animals that received 1 PRID. In cows that received 1 PRID, concentrations of E2 increased 2.4-fold from Day-10 (6.8 +/- 1.0 pg/ml) to Day-2 (16.7 +/- 1.4 pg/ml).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Effects of two different protocols: injection of progesterone vs. injection of GnRH+PGF2a on the onset of estrus in dairy cows with postpartum anestrous

Postpartum anestrous is one of the most important problems in the dairy industry in the world and especially in Iran. The objective of present study was to compare the efficacy of two hormonal programs for recycling of postpartum anestrous cows. For this reason, 230 Holstein cows from 4 similar dairy herds (with totally 2560 cow and unique management and feeding system) located on the suburb of...
