Induction of estrus in non-lactating dairy goats with different estrous synchrony protocols.

چکیده
The objective of this study was to evaluate two protocols of estrous synchronization in non-lactating Toggenburg goats. Nineteen goats were allocated, according to body condition score and weight, into two groups (A and B) and evaluated utilizing two treatments (T1 and T2). Animals in the T1 and T2 groups received an intravaginal sponge (day 0) containing 60 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate for 6 and 9 days, respectively, plus 200 IU equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) and 22.5 microg cloprostenol 24 h before sponge removal. Females were bred only at the second estrus and received 22.5 microg cloprostenol 7 days later to prevent pregnancy. Percentages of animals in estrus did not differ (P > 0.05) between T1 (89.5%) and T2 (84.2%). From 33 females in estrus (T1 + T2), 28 (84.8%), 2 (6.1%), and 3 (9.1%) were identified in estrus at 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 h, respectively. Additionally, 6 (18.2%), 0 (0.0%) and 27 (81.8%) were no longer detected to be on estrus at 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 h, respectively. Interval from sponge removal and the onset of estrus (IE) did not differ (P > 0.05) between T1 (46.1 +/- 15.0 h) and T2 (53.6 +/- 16.1 h). Duration of estrus did not differ (P > 0.05) between T1 (30.0 +/- 12.0 h) and T2 (27.2 +/- 11.2 h). Both protocols were effective in inducing estrus in non-lactating goats. The onset and end of the estrus relative to hour of the day should be considered in estrous detection, natural breeding, and artificial insemination in goats.

Effects of different five-day progesterone-based synchronization protocols on the estrous response and follicular/luteal dynamics in dairy cows
This study compared the responses shown by lactating dairy cows to four different P4-based protocols for AI at estrus. Cows with no estrous signs 96 h after progesterone intravaginal device (PRID) removal were subjected to fixed-time AI (FTAI), and their data were also included in the study. In Experiment I, follicular/luteal and endometrial dynamics were assessed every 12 h from the beginning ...

متن کاملComparison of two estrus synchronization and resynchronization treatments in lactating dairy cows.
Reproductive performance in cows following synchronization of estrus with intravaginal progesterone releasing devices (IVD) has varied with the length of treatment, cyclic status and prolonged return to estrus intervals in some cows following first AI. The objective of this study was to compare two methods of synchronizing and resynchronizing estrus on the reproductive performance of lactating ...
