[Superovulation induction in donor cows using the embryo transfer method].

L Kostov, G Vasilev, S Tsolov

    Veterinarno-Meditsinski Nauki

    Summary

    Superovulation response in cows varies individually. Administering antigonadotropic sera on day one of estrus limited superovulation, increasing viable embryos for transplantation in cattle breeding.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Reproductive Biology
    • Animal Science

    Context:

    • Superovulation is crucial for efficient cattle breeding and embryo transfer.
    • Hormonal treatments are commonly used to induce superovulation in donor cows.
    • Individual variability in response to superovulation protocols necessitates optimization.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the individual response of cows to superovulation induction.
    • To evaluate the effect of antigonadotropic sera on superovulation and embryo yield.
    • To determine optimal hormonal strategies for enhancing embryo transplantation success.

    Summary:

    • 108 cows were evaluated, with 24 selected as donors based on calving-to-estrus interval and health status.
    • Estrus was synchronized using norgestomet implants, followed by pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) for superovulation.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Half the donors received anti-PMSG on day one of estrus, revealing individual response variability.
  • Antigonadotropic sera limited superovulation, increasing the number of transplantable embryos.
  • Hormonal therapy tailored to ovarian status is essential for reducing the interval to donor insemination.
  • Impact:

    • Provides insights into optimizing superovulation protocols for individual cows.
    • Demonstrates the efficacy of antigonadotropic sera in improving embryo quality and quantity.
    • Contributes to more efficient and successful cattle breeding programs through enhanced embryo transfer techniques.
