Changes in the biometry of the sex organs of sheep after estrus synchronization and superovulation in the breeding period

In twenty ewes of the Slovak Merino breed coming from a demonstration farm at Zemplínska Teplica, to the age of two-three years biometrical variations of the sex organs and overall follicular response to PMSG and PGF2 alpha administration were investigated in the autumn period (October-November). In the ewes of all groups the heat was synchronized by i. m. administration of PGF2 alpha (Oestrophan Spofa) at a dose of 125 micrograms in the interval of 11 days. On the ninth day the ewes of the second and fourth group were given 1000 i. u. of PMSG (Antex Leo, Denmark), the ewes of the third group 750 i. u. of PMSG. The ewes of the third and fourth group were administered at the same time 50,000 i. u. vitamin A (Axerophtol Spofa) (each group). The weight and dimensions of the sex organs were investigated. The results demonstrate that the administration of PMSG in the mating period increases significantly the weight of oviducts and horns of uterus in the ewes while there are no variations of the weight of the other sex organs and of their length, or it is lower than in the ewes of the control group. The overall follicular response was not influenced by the higher weight of ovaries.     

Influence of PMSG and time of artificial insemination on fertility of progestogen-treated sheep in confinement

The need for pregnant mates' serum gonadotropin (PMSG) in breeding confined sheep by artificial insemination (AI) at progestogen-synchronized estrus was assessed in 152 adult crossbred ewes brought into season by a controlled light regimen. One-half of the ewes received 500 IU PMSG after intravaginal progestogen treatment; all ewes were inseminated either 54, 57 or 60 h after sponge removal or at 54 and again at 60 h. Based on progesterone determinations 18 d after AI, conception rates with single insemination 54, 57, or 60 h and double insemination at 54 and 60 h were 76, 72, 47 and 72%, respectively, among ewes receiving PMSG, compared to 17, 22, 47 and 43%, respectively, among ewes not give PMSG (P less than .01) Lambing rates were higher (P less than .01) with PMSG (67, 67, 37 and 61%) than without PMSG (11, 11, 26 and 33%). While there was only a small increase (.06 less than P less than .05) in litter size with PMSG, fecundity decreased (P less than .01) from 1.4 to .3 when PMSG was not used. These data indicate that, even with controlled lighting to induce estrous activity, additional stimulation of ovulation by PMSG at progestogen-synchronized estrus is necessary for normal fertility when confined sheep are bred by AI.     

Comparison of the use of cabergoline and gonadotrophin to treat primary and secondary anoestrus in bitches

Objective To determine the efficacy and reliability of cabergoline and pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) for induction of oestrus in bitches with primary or secondary anoestrus. Procedures We studied 39 healthy bitches of various breeds aged 2–6 years and in primary or secondary anoestrus: 20 bitches were administered 5 µg/kg/day cabergoline orally until day 2 after the onset of pro‐oestrus or for a maximum of 42 days, and 19 bitches were administered 20 IU/kg/day PMSG intramuscularly for 5 consecutive days, followed by an additional single injection of 25 IU/kg of human chorionic gonadotrophin on the fifth day. Results The rates of oestrus induction in the primary and secondary anoestrous bitches treated with cabergoline and PMSG were found to be similar. Pregnancy and whelping rates in the cabergoline group were statistically different from the rates in the PMSG group (P < 0.001). Conclusion Cabergoline is more effective and reliable for the induction of a fertile oestrus in bitches with primary or secondary anoestrous.     

The effect of the seasons on the ovarian response in sheep after the administration of the serum gonadotropin, PMSG

In the autumn oestrus season, 20 Slovak Merino ewes were exposed to synchronization of oestrus, treated with the PGF2alfa at doses 125 micrograms (Oestrophan, inj. Spofa). followed by an injection of PMSG at doses 1000 IU (Antex Leo Denmark) and 50,000 IU of Vitamin A (Axerophtol Spofa). 23 anoestrus ewes were synchronized with an intravaginal sponges containing 20 mg of chlorsuperlutine (Agelin, Spofa) for 12 days and after sponge withdrawal, the ewes were injected with 750 and 1000 IU of PMSG (Antex Leo Denmark). Ovulatory response was observed and the possibility of ova recovered from the genital organs in ewes after synchronization of oestrus and superovulation in oestrus season. Higher values of the total follicular response (CFO), and the average number of ovulation (PO) after administering equal doses of PMSG were found out both in anoestrus ewes (CFO 6.62 +/- 4.24; PO 4.25 +/- 4.52) and in oestrus ewes (CFO 2.70 +/- 2.10; PO 2.60 +/- 1.74; resp. CFO 2.80 +/- 1.83; PO 3.4 +/- 3.0), if the ewes were treated with PMSG together with vitamin A. The average number of ova flushed was higher in anoestrus ewes (3.0-0.5) than in oestrus ewes (1.67-3.75). In both trials the equal ratio in the number of released ova was gained from ewes of experimental groups (83-88% of the total number). After ova flushing from the genital organs in ewes of the experimental groups most ovas were found in the isthmatal part of the uterine tube (36-60%). On the basis of gained results it was concluded, that synchronized oestrus ewes on receiving PMSG in anoestrus season the ovarial response was more significant than in autumn breeding season.     

Treatment with a High Dose Combination of PMSG/hCG Preparation of Mares Clinically Diagnosed with Ovarian Quiescence during the Breeding Season (Investigation from 1975 to 2000)

A total of 88 thoroughbred mares were diagnosed with clinical ovarian quiescence and subjected to four treatment regimens. Using PMSG, hCG or combinations of both. A high dose combination of 5,000IU PMSG with 5,000IU hCG showed significantly higher rates of marked estrus and ovulation induction (P<0.01) as well as conception rates (P<0.05). In the present study, the administration of a high-dose combination of PMSG with hCG was shown to be an effective treatment of ovarian quiescence in light mares.     

Embryo transfers in Angora and Saanen goats

Sixteen mixed age Angora does were synchronised by progesterone injections and superovulated with either PMSG or FSH in 1982 and six synchronised Angora and seven Saanens were superovulated with FSH in 1983. All donors entire mated and were subjected to egg recovery by a uterine flush conducted during surgery about five days after oestrus. The mean ovulation rate and number of transferable embryos recovered from Angoras treated with PMSG in 1982 was 9.1 and 5.1, respectively, and for FSH treated donors was 15.1 and 11.0. Results for Angoras treated in 1983 were 5.3 and 5.0 and for Saanens were 29.3 and 25.3. Each year recipient feral and Angora does were synchronised, and 329 embryos were transferred surgically to 151 recipients. One hundred and sixteen (77%) of the recipients kidded producing 191 kids (58% embryo survival). Well fed Angora and Saanen donors superovulated with FSH produced 8 and 17 offspring, respectively, in the year of surgery. This rate of reproduction is about 8 times faster than normal and about double that achieved when donors are superovulateb with PMSG.

The use of progesterone administered intravaginally and pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin given by injection in controlled breeding programs in beef and dairy cattle

Five experiments involving 1,244 cows and heifers were carried out to investigate the factors which might influence the calving performance to fixed-time artificial insemination following intravaginal administration of progesterone (PRID) and intramuscular injection of pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG). Factors examined were duration of PRID treatment, time of treatment after calving, time and dose PMSG and lactational status. Experiments 1, 2 and 3 were carried out on milked Friesian cows, experiment 4 on Friesian heifers and experiment 5 on suckled and dry Herefords. All cows were inseminated once with frozen/thawed semen 54 to 58 h or 46 to 50 h after completion of PRID treatment. Overall there was a progressive increase in calving rates with an increase in the duration of treatment from 12 to 14 to 16 days but there was little or no effect of time after calving (4 v 7 weeks) at which treatment was commenced. The poorer calving performance of cows treated for 12 to 14 days was associated with relatively high peripheral levels of plasma progesterone at the time of the PRID removal, suggesting the presence at the end of treatment of residual secretory luteal tissue. There was an effect on calving performance of PMSG given at the time of PRID removal but its effect varied according to the duration of PRID treatment. After 12 days treatments (experiments 1 and 5) PMSG had little effect, whereas after 14 days treatments, 0, 500 and 750 IU PMSG gave calving rates of 27%, 40% and 46% in experiment 2 and 5%, 24% and 38% in experiment 5.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Calving rates of Brahman and Brahman-cross cows to fixed-time insemination after treatment with pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin and intravaginal progesterone

In 2 experiments involving 151 non-lactating and 107 lactating Brahman or Brahman-cross cows, the effects of progesterone treatments (PRID) of 2 durations (7 v 14 days) and injections of pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) at 3 doses (O v 375 v 750 IU) were examined. All cows were inseminated with frozen/thawed semen 54 to 58 and 70 to 74 hours after PRID removal. Calving rates of non-lactating cows (38%) were unaffected by breed or treatment but were higher in previously cyclic than acyclic cows (44% v 19%, P less than 0.025) and in cows which exhibited oestrus after treatment (52% v 23%, P less than 0.001). Calving rates of lactating cows were not affected by these factors but were affected by treatment; PMSG produced no significant effect after a 7-day PRID treatment (33% overall) but increased calving rates after 14-day PRID treatments (22% v 46% v 37% for 0, 375 and 750 IU respectively, P less than 0.10). Comparisons of calving rates of lactating cows treated with 14-day PRID and PMSG and artificially inseminated, and untreated naturally mated cows, showed that treatment significantly increased the proportion of cows conceiving in the first 35 days of the mating period (50% v 23%, P less than 0.025). The results show that treatment with PRID for 14 days and PMSG can overcome post-partum anoestrus in lactating Brahman and Brahman-cross cows leading to significant reductions in the calving to conception interval.

Studies on the effect of the HCG injection date on the fertility of ovulation-synchronized gilts

The time gap between pregnant mare serum gonadotropine injection (PMSG) and subsequent human chorionic gonadotropine injection (HCG) had major effects, within 72 to 80 hours, on the number of animals with recorded toleration reflex to deadline-oriented insemination as well as on actual fertility. Delay of injections within the above limits always led to higher farrowing and piglet rates. HCG injection was round to be optimally timed when 78-80 hours were allowed to elapse from the preceding PMSG injection.     

Follicle stimulating hormone increases serum oestradiol-17 beta concentrations, number of growing follicles and yolk deposition in aging hens (Gallus gallus domesticus) with decreased egg production.

1. The aims of this study were to determine if the number of small yellow follicles (SYF) and large white follicles (LWF) in ovaries of young and old hens differed; and if injection of old hens with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) changed growth of and yolk deposition into follicles of old hens. 2. Ovaries were removed and follicles were divided according to size and condition and counted. The number of normal SYF and LWF was decreased in old hens compared to young hens, whereas the number of atretic follicles was greater in old hens compared to young hens. 3. Old hens were injected subcutaneously with saline containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA, vehicle) or 12.5, 50, 200, 400 micrograms porcine (p) FSH or 25 or 50 IU pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG) for 5 consecutive days. Blood samples were taken on days 1 and 5 before FSH and PMSG injection and 2 h after FSH and PMSG injection on day 5. Sudan black and Sudan red dyes were injected intravenously on alternative days to monitor yolk deposition into follicles of the hierarchy removed after the fifth day of FSH treatment. 4. Treatment with 200 micrograms pFSH or 25 IU PMSG for 5 d increased serum progesterone (P4) concentrations as compared to controls. Injection of hens with FSH caused a linear dose dependent increase in serum oestradiol-17 beta (E2) concentrations, dose dependent increase in SYF and LWF, and dose related decrease in number of atretic SYF and LWF. The hierarchy of the ovary was disrupted with PMSG, but not FSH. Larger doses of FSH increased the number of small follicles (10 mm diameter) and yolk deposition. 5. We conclude that small follicles which have not entered the rapid growth phase are responsive to FSH. The increased yolk deposition following FSH treatment may have been a direct effect of FSH or may have been caused by the elevation of serum E2 concentrations in response to FSH treatment. It is possible that old chickens may produce inadequate amounts of FSH which result in decreased rate of follicular growth and ultimately decreased egg production.     

家养梅花鹿腹腔镜输精技术研究——CIDR+PMSG同期发情处理后输精时间是关键

2004年9月15日(第0天)给45只成年雌性东北梅花鹿阴道放置"阴道内孕酮释放装置"(CIDR),到第12天取出CIDR,同时肌肉注射孕马血清促性腺激素(PMSG),21只母鹿注射200 IU(1组),24只母鹿注射150 IU(2组)。CIDR取出后24~72 h,用带试情布的成年公鹿对处理母鹿进行持续试情。结果第1组和第2组同期发情率分别为86%(18/21)和92%(22/24)(P>0.05),取出CIDR至发情的平均时间分别为(47.54±9.33)h和(49.74±6.69)h(P>0.05)。第2组1只母鹿表现出孕期发情现象。对发情母鹿进行腹腔镜人工输精,输精时间为取出CIDR后的48~78 h。输精后第5天到11月15日,每天早晨、中午和傍晚进行试情,检查人工输精母鹿返情情况,结果第1组和第2组人工输精母鹿未返情率分别为89%(16/18)和76%(16/21)。两组母鹿产仔率分别为50%(9/18)和38%(8/21)(P>0.05)。这对同期发情梅花鹿的定时输精特别有意义。     

Administration of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin to Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica): dose response over seven days and comparison of delivery by daily injection or osmotic pump

AIMS: This study is part of a research programme that aims to develop a method of hormone treatment to stimulate breeding in female birds. The aims of this study were to compare dose rates and two different delivery methods, daily injection or osmotic pump, for hormone treatment of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG). METHODS: PMSG (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 IU PMSG/day) was administered to 6-week-old Japanese quail housed under short-day, cool-temperature conditions (8L:16D at 7-10 degrees C) by daily injections or osmotic pump for 7 days. Three additional groups were untreated: one group was dissected at Day 0, and two groups were maintained under either short-day, cool-temperature or long-day, warm-temperature (16L:8D, 20 degrees C) conditions for 7 days. Cloacal diameter was measured daily, and ovarian and oviductal mass and plasma oestradiol concentrations measured at the end of the treatment period. RESULTS: PMSG treatment stimulated ovarian and oviductal growth. After 7 days of treatment with 10-20 IU PMSG, ovarian and oviductal mass were similar to those in birds moved from short to long days. Females treated with the highest doses of PMSG (40 or 80 IU) had significantly larger cloacal diameters and ovarian and oviductal mass than other treated birds or birds maintained under long-day, warm-temperature conditions. Daily injections and osmotic pumps were equally effective methods of delivery. However, there was considerable variation in response to PMSG among individual birds and this was particularly obvious at the higher doses (20-80 IU PMSG). There were no differences in plasma oestradiol concentrations between groups treated using daily injections or osmotic pumps. CONCLUSIONS: A dose of 10 IU PMSG/day was chosen for use in future experiments with Japanese quail, for the first 7 days of treatment. The delivery method of choice for future studies will depend on the practical considerations of the research in question.     

Conception rates in early postpartum ewes bred naturally or by intrauterine insemination

Ewes were treated with a medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP) sponge for 8 d followed, at sponge removal, with 500 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) at d 30, 40 or 50 (d 0 = lambing) to induce estrus. Dry and lactating ewes were divided into equal numbers at each postpartum day and bred at estrus. Conception rates and number of accessory sperm were determined by flushing the oviducts 3 d after mating and examining the recovered ova. There was no effect (P greater than .05) of lactational status on conception rates. Conception rates increased (P less than .05) from d 30 (10%) to d 40 (45%) and from d 40 to d 50 (80%). There were fewer (P less than .05) ova with accessory sperm (5/26) in d-30 ewes compared with d-40 (10/27) or d-50 (12/24) ewes. In Exp. 2, ewes were assigned to two groups after receiving PMSG on d 30: 1) mated naturally or 2) inseminated during laparotomy near the uterotubal junction (UTJ). Dry and lactating ewes were divided evenly within each of the two treatments. Oviducts were flushed and ova were examined for cleavage. The conception rate was 60% in ewes that were inseminated in the UTJ vs 10% in ewes mated to rams (P less than .05). Lactational status had no effect on results. In conclusion, conception rates in postpartum ewes treated with MAP sponge and PMSG increased from postpartum d 30 to d 50 with natural breeding, and d-30 conception rates were increased over natural mating by insemination into the uterine horn near the UTJ.     

Quantitative micromorphological study of the ovaries in sheep after estrus synchronization and superovulation in the autumn mating season

The quantitative micromorphological changes of tertiary follicles and corpora lutea (CL) were studied in ewes in the autumn mating season after oestrus synchronization, induced by administration of PGF2 alpha (Oestrophan Spofa) at a rate of 125 micrograms, and after superovulation, induced by administration of PMSG (Antex Leo, Denmark) at a rate of 1000 I. U., or PMSG at rates of 750 and 1000 I. U. together with 50,000 I. U. vitamin A (Axerophthol Spofa). The highest number of ovulations was obtained in ewes treated with 1000 I. U. together with vitamin A (3.4 +/- 3.0) and after administration of 1000 I. U. PMSG alone (2.6 +/- 2.74). The highest number of tertiary follicles was recorded in ewes after administration of PGF2 alpha. The proportion of tertiary atretic follicles was the highest in ewes after administration of PMSG (64.6%). The occurrence of the luteinizing form of atresia was recorded only in ewes treated with PMSG (4% of the total number of atretic follicles). Using the caryometric analysis of the luteal cells of corpora lutea, the ewes of the experimental groups had two-peak variation curves; this corresponds to the theory of the presence of two luteal types in the tissue of the corpus luteum in ewes. As determined morphometrically, the smallest proportion of connective tissue out of the total volume of ewes' ovaries was found after administration of 1000 I. U. PMSG together with vitamin A. Administration of vitamin A together with PMSG had a favourable influence on the over-all follicular response, on the average number of ovulations, and on the proportion of non-atretic follicles.     

Effect of sample selection from experimentally contaminated hatching eggs and freshly hatched chicks on Salmonella enteritidis detection rate.

The conventional culture methods of hatching eggs using shell and/or egg contents for detection of salmonella organisms give mostly unsatisfactory results. The aim of the present study is to evaluate selection of other samples and techniques of culturing hatching eggs and freshly hatched chicks. This current study provides the best evidence of Salmonella enteritidis in artificially contaminated eggs (Layer type) by using enrichment broth in empty egg shell samples in comparison to culturing samples from yolk, albumen or from shell above the air cell (with the outer shell membrane). The isolation rates could be enhanced if empty egg shell was initially filled with Buffered Pepton Water as pre-enrichment broth. Examination of organs from freshly hatched chicks revealed that crop samples give mostly higher reisolation rates.
