Our objectives were to evaluate the pattern of re-insemination, ovarian responses, and pregnancy per artificial insemination (P/AI) of cows submitted to different resynchronization of ovulation protocols. The base protocol started at 25 ± 3 d after artificial insemination (AI) and was as follows: GnRH, 7 and 8 d later PGF, GnRH 32 h after second PGF, and fixed timed AI (TAI) 16 to 18 h after GnRH. At 18 ± 3 d after AI, cows were randomly assigned to the G25 (n = 1,100) or NoG25 (n = 1,098) treatments. The protocol for G25 and NoG25 was the same, except that cows in NoG25 did not receive GnRH 25 ± 3 d after AI. At nonpregnancy diagnosis (NPD), 32 ± 3 d after AI, cows from G25 and NoG25 with a corpus luteum (CL) ≥15 mm in diameter and a follicle ≥10 mm completed the protocol (G25 CL = 272, NoG25 CL = 194), whereas cows from both treatments that did not meet these criteria received a modified Ovsynch protocol with P4 supplementation [controlled internal drug release insert plus GnRH, controlled internal drug release insert removal, and PGF 7 and 8 d later, GnRH 32 h after second PGF, and TAI 16 to 18 h after GnRH (G25 NoCL = 53, NoG25 NoCL = 78)]. Serum concentrations of progesterone (P4) were determined and ovarian ultrasonography was performed thrice weekly from 18 ± 3 d after AI until 1 d after TAI (G25 = 46, NoG25 = 44 cows). A greater percentage of NoG25 cows were re-inseminated at detected estrus (NoG25 = 53.5%, G25 = 44.6%), whereas more cows had a CL at NPD in G25 than NoG25 (83.7 and 71.3%). At 32 d after AI, P/AI was similar for G25 and NoG25 for inseminations at detected estrus (38.4 and 42.9%), TAI services for cows with no CL (40.4 and 36.7%), and for all services combined (39.6 and 39.0%). However, P/AI were greater for cows with a CL in G25 than NoG25 (40.6 and 32.8%) that received TAI. More cows ovulated spontaneously or in response to GnRH for the G25 than the NoG25 treatment (70 and 36%) but a similar proportion had an active follicle at NPD (G25 = 91% and NoG25 = 96%). The largest follicle diameter at NPD (G25 = 15.0 ± 0.4 mm, NoG25 = 16.5 ± 0.6 mm) and days since it reached ≥10 mm (G25 = 4.0 ± 0.3 d, NoG25 = 5.8 ± 0.6 d) were greater for the NoG25 than G25 treatment. For cows with a CL at NPD, CL regression after NPD, ovulation after TAI, and ovulatory follicle diameter did not differ. In conclusion, removing the first GnRH of a modified Resynch-25 protocol for cows with a CL at NPD and a modified Ovsynch protocol with P4 supplementation for cows without a CL at NPD resulted in a greater percentage of cows re-inseminated at detected estrus and a similar proportion of cows pregnant in spite of reduced P/AI for cows with a CL at NPD.
我们的目标是评估不同排卵同步方案下的重复配种模式、卵巢反应和人工授精(AI)后妊娠率(P/AI)。基础方案在 AI 后 25 ± 3 d 开始:GnRH,7 天和 8 天后 PGF,第二次 PGF 后 32 h GnRH,以及固定时间 AI(TAI)在 GnRH 后 16 至 18 h。在 AI 后 18 ± 3 d,奶牛随机分配到 G25(n = 1100)或 NoG25(n = 1098)处理组。G25 和 NoG25 的方案相同,只是 NoG25 奶牛在 AI 后 25 ± 3 d 不接受 GnRH。在非妊娠诊断(NPD)时,即 AI 后 32 ± 3 d,直径≥15 mm 的黄体(CL)和直径≥10 mm 的卵泡的 G25 和 NoG25 奶牛完成了方案(G25 CL = 272,NoG25 CL = 194),而不符合这些标准的来自两个处理组的奶牛接受了改良的 Ovsynch 方案,添加了 P4 补充剂[控释宫内节育器加 GnRH,控释宫内节育器取出,以及 7 和 8 天后 PGF,第二次 PGF 后 32 h GnRH,以及 GnRH 后 16 至 18 h TAI(G25 NoCL = 53,NoG25 NoCL = 78)]。从 AI 后 18 ± 3 d 开始,每周进行 3 次血清孕酮(P4)浓度测定和卵巢超声检查,直到 TAI 后 1 d(G25 = 46,NoG25 = 44 头奶牛)。在检测到发情时,NoG25 奶牛的重复配种率更高(NoG25 = 53.5%,G25 = 44.6%),而 G25 奶牛的 NPD 时 CL 数更多(83.7%和 71.3%)。在 AI 后 32 d,在检测到发情时,G25 和 NoG25 的 P/AI 相似(38.4%和 42.9%),对于没有 CL 的奶牛的 TAI 服务(40.4%和 36.7%),以及所有服务的综合(39.6%和 39.0%)。然而,在接受 TAI 的奶牛中,G25 奶牛的 P/AI 大于 NoG25 奶牛(40.6%和 32.8%),而在 G25 奶牛中,CL 数更多(40.6%和 32.8%)。与 NoG25 处理组相比,G25 处理组的奶牛有更多的自发排卵或对 GnRH 有反应(70%和 36%),但在 NPD 时,有活性卵泡的比例相似(G25 = 91%,NoG25 = 96%)。NPD 时最大卵泡直径(G25 = 15.0 ± 0.4 mm,NoG25 = 16.5 ± 0.6 mm)和达到≥10 mm 的天数(G25 = 4.0 ± 0.3 d,NoG25 = 5.8 ± 0.6 d)在 NoG25 处理组大于 G25 处理组。对于 NPD 时存在 CL 的奶牛,NPD 后 CL 退化、TAI 后排卵和排卵卵泡直径没有差异。总之,在 NPD 时存在 CL 的奶牛中,去除改良 Resynch-25 方案中的第一个 GnRH,并在 NPD 时不存在 CL 的奶牛中添加 P4 补充的改良 Ovsynch 方案,导致更多的奶牛在检测到发情时再次配种,尽管 NPD 时存在 CL 的奶牛的 P/AI 降低,但怀孕比例相似。
