چکیده
− The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of intravaginal devices (IVD) for the control of reproductive events in swine. Sows at 112 days of pregnancy received an injection of PGF2α (control, n = 15) or PGF2α plus an IVD containing medroxyprogesterone acetate (IVD group, n = 14) for 48 hours. Sows initiated labor 27.7±1.6 and 82.3±3.8 h after PGF2α aplicaction, in control and treated groups, respectively. Regarding control of estrus cycle, ten sows received IVD for 12 days starting immediately after weaning, and estrus was confirmed 17.25±0.17 days after weaning, in comparison to 4.00±0.25 days for the control group. Intravaginal devices with progestagen can be applied for the control of reproduction in swine.

Responses to delayed estrus after weaning in sows using oral progestagen treatment.
Oral progestagen treatment extends the weaning-to-estrus interval (WEI) in weaned sows. Particularly in lower parity sows, this allows recovery from lactational catabolism and improves sow productivity. However, the optimal duration of progestagen treatment in contemporary dam-line sows is unclear. Therefore, sows (n = 749) weaned over consecutive 3-wk periods in June and July and classified as...
متن کاملReproductive performance in primiparous sows after postweaning treatment with a progestagen
The purpose of this study was to determine whether administration of altrenogest (Regumate; Roussel-Uclaf, París, France) to primiparous sows would improve estrus synchronization rate and reproductive efficiency of the herd, measured in terms of the weaning-to-estrus interval (WEI), the weaning-to-first-fertile-estrus-interval (WFEI), rate of sows repeating estrus, and conception rate at first ...
متن کاملFeeding frequency and the addition of sugar to the diet for the lactating sow. NCR-89 Committee on Confinement Management of Swine.
Effects of feeding frequency and addition of sugar to the diet for the lactating sow were investigated using 162 sows (10 replications) at four stations in the North Central Region. Sows were assigned to one of four treatments immediately after parturition (d 0). The four treatments were a corn-soybean meal diet (control) vs a similar diet containing 2.5% feed grade sucrose (sugar) and once vs ...
متن کاملRoute of progestagen administration to the ewe and spermicidal action in the vagina at the ensuing estrus.
Parous ewes were treated orally with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP) or melengestrol acetate (MGA), subcutaneously with progesterone, or intra-vaginally with MAP, MGA or progesterone. Treatment was begun on day 8 of an estrous cycle and continued for 17 days. When the ewes were in estrus after progestagen withdrawal, they were inseminated artitlcally and their vulvo-vaginal junctions were lig...
متن کاملSynchronization of oestrus in sheep: The use of controlled internal drug release (CIDR) dispensers
The use of the CIDR (controlled internal drug release) dispenser as a progestagen-synchronizing agent was evaluated in 37 Karakul ewes during the breeding season, using the intravaginal progestagen sponge as a control (30 ewes). Although there was no significant differences in oestrous response, following intravaginal insertion for 14days, between these two progestagen devices, the time from de...
