abstract

during spring, summer and winter seasons, sistani donor cows, with normal reproductive status, were superovulated and embryos were recovered non-surgically on day 7. grade a blastocyst embryos were either transferred fresh (spring) or frozen (summer and winter). recovered embryos during summer and winter were exposed to glycerol and frozen using conventional method. during spring season, recipient females (n = 70) were synchronized using two consecutive injections of prostaglandin f 2α  analogue, 14 days apart. on day 7 after the ensuing cycle, the females were assigned into three groups to receive single embryo, either fresh (n = 14; control; recovered embryos in spring) or frozen blastocyst recovered and frozen in summer (n = 27) or winter (n = 29). pregnancies were diagnosed by ultrasound examination, 30 days after non-surgical embryo transfer. pregnancy rates following transfer of fresh embryos (64.3%) were higher than those that received frozen-thawed embryos (17.86%; p0.05).

Pregnancy rates of frozen embryos recovered during winter and summer in Sistani cows

During spring, summer and winter seasons, Sistani donor cows, with normal reproductive status, were superovulated and embryos were recovered non-surgically on day 7. Grade A blastocyst embryos were either transferred fresh (spring) or frozen (summer and winter). Recovered embryos during summer and winter were exposed to glycerol and frozen using conventional method. During spring season, recipi...

Superovulatory response of Sistani cattle to three different doses of FSH during winter and summer.

Objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of season and dose of FSH on superovulatory responses in Iranian Bos indicus beef cattle (Sistani). Cyclic cows, in summer (n=16) and winter (n=16), were assigned randomly to three dose-treatment groups of 120 (n=10), 160 (n=12) and 200 (n=10) total mg of Folltropin-V with injections given twice daily for 4 days in decreasing doses. E...

Assessment of variations in Indian Bubalus bubalis seminal plasma proteins during winter and summer seasons

 The Indian riverine buffaloes are more susceptible to variations in the environment. These variations affect seminal plasma proteins, which in turn affect fertility. This study was conducted to evaluate variations in the Indian Bubalus bubalis seminal plasma protein profile using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) during winter and summer seasons, and its relation wit...

Pregnancy rates of lactating cows after transfer of in vitro produced embryos using X-sorted sperm.

The main objective was to determine the efficacy of using X-sorted sperm to produce embryos in vitro for transfer into lactating dairy cows. Cows were bred by timed artificial insemination (TAI) using nonsorted semen or X-sorted sperm, or they received a fresh embryo produced in vitro by fertilization with X-sorted or nonsorted sperm using timed embryo transfer (TET). Pregnancy rates at approxi...
