Influence of infusion of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF 2 alpha) and weaning on surface and histologic populations of ovarian follicles in early postpartum beef cows

Twenty-four beef cows were infused continuously for 11 d (d 2 to 13 after parturition) into the descending aorta with either prostaglandin F2 alpha-Tham salt (PGF2 alpha; 33.5 mg/d; n = 12) or with .9% NaCl (saline; n = 12) vehicle. Cows from each infusion treatment then were assigned to three slaughter groups (G). Cows in G1 and G2 were suckled until slaughter on d 15 and 35, respectively, whereas calves in G3 were weaned on d 31 and cows were slaughtered on d 35 after parturition. Nonatretic and atretic (greater than 4 pycnosis) antral follicles (greater than .15 mm) on ovaries ipsilateral to the previously gravid uterine horn were evaluated by histological techniques. Compared with saline infusion, PGF2 alpha increased mean diameters of the largest (F1) follicles on the ipsilateral (d 15 and 35; P less than .07) and contralateral (d 15; P less than .07) ovaries (surface evaluation) as well as mean diameters of the largest (F1, d 35; P less than .002), second- and third-largest (F2, F3 d 15 and 35; P less than .01) nonatretic follicles (histologic evaluation) in suckled cows. Compared with suckled cows slaughtered on d 35, weaning on d 31 increased the number of medium follicles (3 to 5 mm), diameters of the three largest nonatretic follicles, percentage of large nonatretic follicles (greater than 3.67 mm) and mitotic index of class 3 (.68 to 1.57 mm) follicles in saline-infused cows. In contrast, in PGF2 alpha-infused cows, weaning decreased (P less than .05 to P less than .001) all of these responses. Surface and histologic evaluations of follicular activity indicated that postpartum infusion of PGF2 alpha stimulated development of large follicles. In response to weaning, PGF2 alpha infusion favored development of those large follicles toward ovulation or atresia on nonovulated follicles.     

Influence of an agonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (buserelin) on estrus synchronization and fertility in beef cows.

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of sequential treatment with buserelin (a GnRH agonist) and cloprostenol (a prostaglandin F2 alpha analog) on estrous response and fertility in beef cattle with different ovarian conditions. On d 0 (1st d of treatment), the control group (n = 52, 10 heifers and 42 cows) and the GnRH group (n = 48, 10 heifers and 38 cows) received 2 mL of saline or 2 mL of Receptal (8 micrograms of buserelin), respectively. On d 6, all cows that had not exhibited spontaneous estrus were given i.m. 500 micrograms of cloprostenol (PGF). Ultrasonography on d 0 and assays of progesterone in blood on d -11, 0, and 6 were used to identify follicular and luteal status of animals. Cattle were observed for estrus from d 0 to 10. Cows showing estrus were bred artificially 12 h after onset of estrus. Over the 10-d period, the number of cows detected in estrus and pregnancy and conception rates were identical for the two groups. However, between d 0 and 6, the proportion of cows exhibiting estrus was lower (P less than .01) in the GnRH group than in the control group. Between d 6 and 10, the synchronization rate and precision of estrus were greater (P less than .01) in the buserelin-treated group than in the control group. Conception rate and interval from PGF injection to onset of estrus were not different between the two treatment groups. Presence of a large (greater than 10 mm) follicle on d 0 enhanced synchronization rate and precision of estrus.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Determination of haloanisols in white wine by immunosorbent solid-phase extraction followed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

A high through-put screening immunochemical method to control the presence of 2,4,6-trichloroanisol (TCA) and 2,4,6-tribromoanisol (TBA), the main agents responsible for the musty odor in wine samples, has been developed. The method involves a selective (antibody-antigen) solid-phase extraction (SPE), followed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis. The sample preparation method established uses for immunosorbents (ISs) prepared by covalently coupling antibodies developed for TCA on a sepharose support. At present, about 200-400 ng L-1 of TBA and TCA can be detected in white wine samples by the IS-SPE-ELISA method described here without any preconcentration step. Simultaneous analyses of many samples are possible with this method. Related chloroanisoles (2,3- and 2,6-dichloroanisols and 2,3,4,5-tetrachloroanisol) and chlorophenols (2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol and pentachlorophenol) usually present in contaminated wine samples are also effectively retained by the IS, although only 2,4,6-TCA and 2,4,6-TBA are detected by the ELISA used. The immunopurification procedure developed could also be useful as a selective cleanup method prior to chromatographic analysis.     

Organophosphorus residues in wool grease resulting from specified on-farm lice and flystrike control treatments

Objective To investigate wool organophosphorus concentrations resulting from a range of farm pesticide application methods.
Design Random sampling of wool for pesticide residues and on-farm interviews to determine associated treatments.
Procedure Tasmanian fleece wool lots were sampled at random and tested for organophosphorus residues. The grower was identified and the pesticide treatments applied to the sheep were ascertained by on-farm interview.
Results The residue concentrations showed a large variation that was not accounted for by differences in treatments by growers. Organophosphorus concentrations were proportional to the number of treatments applied, and inversely related to the time between pesticide application and the subsequent shearing, and were significantly influenced by the method of application. After allowing for the time of application, plunge dipping resulted in pesticide residue concentrations 2 to 2.5 times greater than shower dipping, using spray races or hand jetting, and the use of these methods caused larger residues than the use of jetting races.
Conclusions We recommend that plunge or shower dipping should not be used more than 7 weeks after shearing, nor at higher concentration than the standard dose rate used for lice control, whereas jetting may be satisfactory for up to 7 months after shearing, provided only one application is administered.     

Aortic catheterization in cattle via the costoabdominal artery and validation for progesterone and estradiol-17 beta sample collection

The abdominal portion of the aorta was catheterized in 27 cows. Local analgesia was achieved by infiltration of anesthetic agents. A 10-cm skin incision was made caudal and parallel to the 13th rib at the lateral border of the epaxial muscles. The dorsal costoabdominal artery was exposed at its first lateral cutaneous branch by careful dissection through fascial layers. A sterile polyvinyl catheter (1.52 mm OD) was inserted into the artery and was advanced 35 to 40 cm to the abdominal portion of the aorta. Catheter patency was maintained for up to 5 weeks. Concentrations of plasma progesterone and estradiol-17 beta in samples obtained from the abdominal portion of the aorta were similar to simultaneously obtained concentrations in samples from the jugular vein before and after parturition.     

Periparturient endocrine changes of conceptus and maternal units in Holstein heifers bearing genetically different conceptuses

Holstein heifers (n = 21) were balanced across sires and assigned to three service-sire-breed groups in which heifers were inseminated artificially to either purebred Angus (n = 7), Holstein (n = 7) or Brahman (n = 7) bulls. Semen from four bulls was used for each service sire-breed group. Blood samples were collected from a jugular vein thrice weekly from d 160 to 265 of pregnancy, daily thereafter until 15 d postpartum, and then thrice weekly until d 60 postpartum. Concentrations of progesterone, estrone, estradiol, and estrone sulfate from 23 d prepartum to parturition, and of 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGFM) from 2 d prepartum to d 15 postpartum were measured by radioimmunoassay. Heifers within the Brahman-service-sire group had longer gestations (P less than .05) than those of Holstein- or Angus-service-sire groups (285.0 vs 278.7), 279.0 d). Calf birth weight was lower (P less than .05) in Angus- than Holstein- and Brahman-service-sire groups (30.6 vs 36.1, 43.4 kg). Daily trends of prepartum maternal progesterone concentrations were approximately 1 ng/ml lower (P less than .01) in Angus- than Holstein- or Brahman-service-sire groups until luteolysis occurred. Heifers bearing crossbred Angus conceptuses had lower daily trends of prepartum estrogens concentrations (P less than .01), whereas heifers of the Holstein- and, even more dramatically, of the Brahman-service-sire groups had a higher magnitude and greater rise of plasma estrogens concentrations between d -10 and -1 prepartum (less than .01). Postpartum mean concentrations (P less than .05) and response curves of PGFM were lower (P less than .01) in the Angus- than in the Holstein- or Brahman-service-sire groups. Calf birth weights were correlated with least-squares means for maternal concentrations of prepartum estrone (r = .57), estradiol (r = .59) and estrone sulfate (r = .64) and postpartum maternal concentrations of PGFM (r = .56). Functional responses of the conceptus (e.g., estrogens) and maternal units (e.g., progesterone and PGFM) were influenced by conceptus genotype during the periparturient period.     

Preovulatory changes in follicular prostaglandins and their role in ovulation in cattle.

Indomethacin (INDO, n = 5) or vehicle (CONTROL, n = 4) was injected into superovulated heifers at 48 and 60 h following a luteolytic cloprostenol injection (0 h). One heifer from each group was ovariectomized (OVX) at 48, 56, 64 and 72 h. The fifth heifer of the INDO group was OVX at 80 h. Blood samples were collected at 0 h, every 2 h between 37 and 47 h, and at the time of each OVX to monitor plasma progesterone (P4) and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations. Following each OVX, the number and size of follicles were recorded and the incidence of ovulation determined. Follicular fluid (FF) was aspirated from follicles greater than or equal to 8 mm to determine the concentration of prostaglandins E2 (PGE2) and F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). The highest PG concentrations were measured in both groups at 24-25 h following the preovulatory LH surge and the PGF2 alpha concentration at this time was significantly greater (p less than 0.01) in the CONTROL group compared to the INDO group. By 35-36 h after the LH surge, 75% (25/34) of the CONTROL follicles had ovulated, whereas there were no ovulations (0/50) on either ovary of the INDO treated heifer. These preliminary results suggest that the preovulatory rise of PGs in FF, particularly PGF2 alpha, is essential for ovulation and that suppression of this rise with indomethacin will inhibit ovulation in heifers.
