The status of ovulation and amount of ovulated follicles in 410 gilts which had received differentiated pretreatment produced evidence to the feasibility of substitution of HCG by Gn-RH vet. "Berlin-Chemie" to stimulate ovulation. Yet, 2 injections are necessary with an adequate interval between them and with appropriate dosage. The highest synchronisation effect in all experimental variants was obtained from 350 and 750 micrograms of Gn-RH with 50 minutes in between or 750 plus 750 micrograms of Gn-RH with an interval of 40 minutes. Ovulation was most reliably stimulated by 500 I.U. of HCG.  相似文献

Treatment was applied, on two farms, to 272 gilts and 169 adult sows, 24 hours after discontinuation of Suisynchron application to the gilts or weaning of piglets of adult sows. Included were 600, 800 or 1,000 IU of PMSG for the gilts and 750, 1,000 oder 1,250 IU of the same batch (Pregmagon-Dessau) for the adult sows for ovarian stimulation. This was followed by application of 500 IU of HCG to the gilts or 300 micrograms Gn-RH vet. "Berlin-Chemie" + 300 IU HCG to the adult sows for synchronised ovulation. Laparotomy was performed on the gilts on the fifth day from PMSG application and on the adult sows on the fourth day. Average ovariotropic stimulation was "mild" in response to lower doses (14.8 follicles in gilts and 20.4 follicles in adult sows) but was "pronounced" in response to medium doses (19.4 or 22.7 follicles, respectively). The pharmacological concept of "mild" exogenic ovarian stimulation by low dosage at the threshold of effectiveness should deserve more attention, last but not least, for breeding aspects. The two groups of animals on both farms differed considerably from one another with regard to reactivity, which cannot be etiologically interpreted for the time being.  相似文献

Knowledge of endocrine processes in pro-oestrus and oestrus in conjunction with physiological alterations is of greatest importance to biotechnological control of follicular maturation and ovulation. Methods of hormonal analysis and ovarian diagnosis were used to check on the effectiveness of Gn-RH vet. "Berlin-Chemie" for induction of the luteinising hormone (LH) peak and ovulation. Release in gilts of LH was found to depend on dosage, after 100, 300, and 900 micrograms Gn-RH had been administered at 3 p.m. on the 4th day after synchronisation of ovulation. LH release and induction of ovulation due to these variants were insufficient in some of the animals. Ovulation was then decisively improved in animals with LH peak by subsequent injection of 300 or 900 micrograms Gn-RH at 8 a.m. on the 5th day. Repetitive injections of 300 micrograms Gn-RH at 8 and 8.45 a.m. on the 5th day did not trigger off increased LH release from the pituitary gland. The Gn-RH effect was substantially improved by use of an absorption-retarding preparation (polystyrene sulphonic acid).  相似文献

Histological studies were undertaken with the view to testing uterus structure and function of gilts following synchronised ovulation by means of different PMSG doses. All proband groups received 500 I.U. HCG. All histomorphological, histochemical, and histometric checks revealed 500 I.U. PMSG to be too low a dosage, whereas the optimum amount was found to be between 750 and 1,000 I.U. PMSG. The uterine glands of all treated animals in all three groups were less favourably developed than those of the untreated controls. The best morphologico-histochemical pattern was observed following administration of 750 I.U. PMSG.  相似文献

The aims of this study were to evaluate the chronology of periovulatory events (oestrus behaviour, LH surge and ovulation) in 16 superovulated Manchega sheep and to determine whether follicular status at start of the FSH supply might affect their occurrence. Mean timing for onset of oestrus behaviour was detected at 28.1 +/- 0.7 h after sponge withdrawal; the preovulatory LH surge and ovulation started at 37.2 +/- 0.7 h and 65.4 +/- 0.7 h after progestagen withdrawal, respectively. The intervals between oestrus, LH surge and ovulation were affected by a high individual variability, which might be the cause for reported decreased efficiency in embryo production. Current results also addressed the role of follicular status at start of the superovulatory treatment on the preovulatory LH surge and the ovulation. The interval LH surge-ovulation was increased in ewes with a growing dominant follicle at starting the FSH treatment (32.3 +/- 0.9 vs 28.6 +/- 0.5 h, p < 0.05). The developmental stage of the largest follicle at starting the superovulatory treatment also affected occurrence of LH surge and ovulation; follicles in growing phase advanced the occurrence of the LH surge and ovulation when compared to decreasing follicles (33.0 +/- 1.0 vs 43.5 +/- 1.1 h, p < 0.05, for LH peak and 60.7 +/- 1.1 vs 72.8 +/- 1.2 h, p < 0.05, for ovulation). Thus, only ewes with growing follicles ovulated prior to 55 h after sponge withdrawal; conversely, no sheep with decreasing follicles ovulated earlier than 67 h, when an 85.7% of the ewes bearing growing follicles has ovulated at 63 h.  相似文献

The capability of pregnant mare serum (PMS) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to induce estrus and ovulation was tested in mature, anestrous bitches. The PMS was given for 10 consecutive days in 1 of 3 regimens: 500 IU/day (experiment 1), 250 IU/day (experiment 2), or 20 IU/kg/day (experiment 3). The HCG was given as a single 500-IU dose on experimental day 10. Controls were given saline solution. Vaginal smears were collected on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 by jugular venipuncture, and the plasma was assayed for progesterone concentration by radioimmunoassay. On day 13, the bitches were euthanatized, ova were flushed from the uterine tubes (oviducts), and the ovaries were collected and prepared for microscopic examination. Fourteen of 25 bitches treated with PMS and HCG showed estrus and ovulated. Proestrus (vaginal bleeding) commenced between experimental days 7 and 10. Estrus commenced on day 9 or 10. Progesterone increased from approximately 1 ng/ml on day 1 to more than 6 ng/ml on day 12. Numbers of ovulation sites on both ovaries were 4.7 +/- 1.1 and 4.6 +/- 0.5 (mean +/- SEM) in those given the daily doses of 500 and 250 IU of PMS and 9.8 +/- 1.5 in experiment 3 bitches. Eleven hormone-treated dogs and 7 saline-treated dogs did not show any detectable response. Neither cystic nor unovulated, luteinized follicles appeared on the ovaries.  相似文献

Contents: The ovaries of 64 multiparous Holstein cows were scanned twice weekly by ultrasonographyfrom Day 6 postpartum until 60 days or return to normal estrous cycle, and turnover of dominant follicles in relation to subsequent fertility were determined. The mean (SD) number of days from parturition to detection of the first postpartum dominant follicle (10 mm) was 9.0 0.5, which was predominantly located in the ovary contralateral to previous pregnancy in 54/64 cows. The first postpartum dominant follicle ovulated in 34 cows, failed to ovulate in 18, became cystic in 10, and only 2 were diagnosed as ovarian quiescent which delayed the detection of dominant follicles until days 25 and 30 postpartum. Number of dominant follicles in cows with anovulated first dominant follicle was 2.8. 1.1 prior to first ovulation (range 2–5). Growth and regression of cystic follicles were observed 24 times in 6110 cows, and a total of 20 cystic follicles persisted 32.7 9.0 days (range 18–58 days) except one which persisted for 124 days. Conception rate was 89.5% and postpartum interval to conception within 180 d after calving was 96.7 days in cows detected with less than 3 dominant follicles before first ovulation compared with those of 42.9% and 141 days in cows detected with more than 4 dominant follicles. It is concluded that the number of dominant follicles detected prior to first ovulation varied from I to 5, which positively correlated with ovulation intervals, while only those cows which first ovulated less than 3 dominant follicles resulted in reasonable reproductive performance.  相似文献

Sixty nonlactating light-horse mares were used to compare the efficacy of hCG, buserelin (a GnRH analog) and luprostiol (a PGF2α analog) for induction of ovulation in cycling mares. Mares were assigned to 1 of 4 treatments: 1) controls; 2) 40 μg buserelin IM at 12 hr intervals during estrus until ovulation; 3) 7.5 mg IM luprostiol; and 4) 3,300 IU hCG. Treatments were given once a mare obtained a ≥35mm follicle and had been in estrus ≥2 days. Both buserelin and hCG shortened (p<0.05) the interval from treatment to ovulation compared to controls; whereas, luprostiol failed to hasten ovulation. Number of follicles ovulated was similar among all 4 groups. Although buserelin and hCG were equal in their ability to induce ovulation, an average of 3.8 injections of buserelin was required for hastening of ovulation.  相似文献

The doses of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), PMSG (pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin), and gn-RH (gonadotrophin-releasing hormone) effective in terms of triggering ovulation were determined in a mouse ovulation test. Varying doses of the above preparations were subcutaneously injected, 48 hours after overstimulation by injection of 0.5 or 1.0 IU of PMSG. The animals were sacrificed for examination, after another 18-20 hours had passed. Roughly 50 per cent of all animals treated (threshold) in one and the same dosage group (n = 5) had ovulated in response to 0.02-0.1 IU of FSH per animal. The following FSH and PMSG dosages are recommended: 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.1 IU of FSH, 0.6, 1.0, 1.4, 1.8, 2.2, 2.6, 3.0 IU of PMSG. When mouse ovulation tests were used in orientation studies, ovulation was regularly induced by Gn-RH doses per animal between 0.01 and 1.0 micrograms. Dosage spacings or increments should be specified with higher accuracy by further studies.  相似文献

We studied the effects of gonadotrophins and prostaglandin (PG) F2α on ovulation in gilts. Twenty-eight gilts were induced to ovulate using 750 IU pregnant mares serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) and 500 IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), administered 72 h apart. At 34 and 36 h after hCG, gilts received injections of either 500 μg or 175 μg PGF2α (cloprostenol), or had no injections. Laparotomies were performed at 36 h (cloprostenol gilts) or 38 h (controls) after hCG injection. The ovaries were examined and the proportion of preovulatory follicles that had ovulated (ovulation percent) was determined at 30 min intervals for up to 6 h. The number of gilts in which ovulation was initiated and the ovulation percent increased (p<0.001) with time, but was not affected by treatment. Many medium sized follicles (≤6 mm) were also observed to ovulate, or to exhibit progressive luteinization without overt ovulation, during the surgical period. A discrepancy between numbers of preovulatory follicles and corpora lutea suggests that luteal counts may not be an accurate assessment of ovulation rate following gonadotrophic stimulation.  相似文献

Puberty was induced in 39 clinically prepuberal gilts (two groups of three sub-groups each) by parallel but locally separated application of 500 IU PMSG ("Maretropin") and 250 IU HCG ("Gonadex"), with the view to testing ways to synchronise ovulation. Seventy-two hours were allowed to elapse, before 24 animals received another application of 500 IU HCG and 15 animals 250 IU HCG. The animals were slaughtered in consecutive groups of study ovulation and histolotically examined to disclose endometrial processes. Ovulations were found to be well synchronised in the recipients of a second injection of 500 IU HCG. Only sub-threshold effects with no synchronised ovulation were recorded from the animals that had received a second dose of 250 IU HCG. A second injection of 500 IU HCG should be given not until something between 78 and 82 hours after puberty induction for optimum follicle maturation and adequate proliferation of the endometrium.  相似文献

To develop a reliable follicle culture system, mouse preantral follicles 150-200 microm in diameter were cultured individually for 5 or 6 days in membrane inserts or in droplets, and then induced to ovulate with hCG (Experiment 1). The nuclear maturation and developmental competence of the oocytes that ovulated from the follicles cultured in inserts were determined (Experiment 2). There was no significant difference between the two culture systems in the survival rate (83 and 77%). However, follicles cultured in inserts showed a higher ovulation rate (63%) than those cultured in droplets (39%, P<0.05). About 80% of the oocytes that ovulated from the follicles cultured in inserts were at the metaphase II stage. After in vitro fertilization, 75 and 48% of in vitro ovulated oocytes cleaved and developed into blastocysts, respectively. These results demonstrate that the insert culture system is superior to the droplet culture system in terms of follicular growth and ovulation, and can be used to investigate the growth and ovulation of follicles in vitro.  相似文献

The effects of various doses of human chorionic gonadetropine (HCG) to stimulate ovulation in 86 gilts in which puberty had been induced by administration of 500 IU of pregnant mare serum (PMS) and 250 IU of HCG were established by slaughter. Only 26.9 per cent of the group without HCG had completed ovulation 120 hours from puberty induction, but 93.5 per cent had done so in the group which had received additional 500 IU or HCG 78 hours after the PMS/HCG injection. Ovulation was completed by 71.4 per cent of those sows which had been stimulated, using 250 IU of HCG. More accurate timing of ovulation in animals of one and the same group can be helpful in better insemination timing.  相似文献

Ewes from selected lines of sheep from each of two breeds, Finns (high ovulation rate, low ovulation rate and control lines with respective ovulation rates of 5.4, 2.7 and 3.3) and Merinos (T Merinos selected for increased ovulation rate and control Merinos with respective ovulation rates of 1.9 and 1.2) were used to examine how selection to alter ovulation rate had altered follicle development. Ovarian antral follicles were counted, measured, classified as nonatretic or atretic (more than five pyknotic bodies). The growth of ovulatory follicles in vivo, followed by repeated follicle ink marking, also was compared in the three lines of Finns. Regardless of breed, ewes selected for high ovulation rate had a similar number of antral follicles and a similar extent of atresia compared with their controls. Alterations induced by selection were located in the last stages of folliculogenesis. T Merinos exhibited a lower proportion of atretic follicles among follicles greater than 3 mm and a larger diameter of the largest healthy follicle when preovulatory follicles were excluded. High-line Finn ewes recruited more follicles, which produced smaller preovulatory follicles, each containing a smaller number of granulosa cells compared with either the low- or control-line ewes. Hence, physiological selection for high ovulation rate raised it by different methods in Merino than in Finn ewes.  相似文献

A conclusion derived from the slaughter of 69 gilts was that no role was played by the time intervals tested between puberty induction, using 500 IU of PMS and 250 IU HCG, and subsequent action to stimulate ovulation. Very good follicle maturation and follicle formation as well as the usual uterus and ovary weights were observed, no matter whether 500 IU of HCG were injected to stimulate ovulation 54, 72 or 78 hours after puberty had been induced. Ovulation was very efficiently synchronised by 500 IU of HCG in all three groups in which the ovulation figures relative to follicle formation 120 hours from puberty induction were 92.6, 94.6 or 92.7 per cent.  相似文献

Changes in appearance of preovulatory follicles were observed with real-time ultrasonography prior to and during ovulation in mares. Preovulatory follicles of 15 mares were scanned at < 1 hr intervals for 12 hr or more frequently if displaying signs of impending ovulation. If ovulation was not imminent at the end of 12 hr (n = 2), mares were removed from the trial. Mean follicular diameter decreased 13% from 30 minutes prior to ovulation until the beginning of ovulation. Fifteen to 77 minutes (mean = 41 min) prior to ovulation, a break in or a protrusion of the follicular wall toward the ovulation fossa was visualized in all follicles and was a consistent indicator of impending ovulation. A rapid decrease in size of follicles (ovulation) occurred within a period of 5 to 90 seconds (mean = 42 sec). Little or no fluid remained in the antrum following ovulation. An increase in echogenicity (whiteness) of the follicular wall and echogenic “spots” within the follicle were frequently visualized (13/13, 100% and 7/13, 54% respectively) prior to ovulation; however, prediction of time of ovulation could not be based solely on these individual changes.  相似文献

The ovaries of 17 Friesian cows aged two to seven years were examined daily by transrectal ultrasound from one week after calving. The position and size of all follicles more than 2 mm in diameter were recorded. A large (more than 9 mm in diameter) follicle was present on at least one ovary by six to 17 days after calving, and in two of the cows it ovulated; the remaining cows had from two to nine large follicles before they ovulated. The mean ( ) interval from calving to the first ovulation was 43 ·4 (5·3) (range 13 to 93) days, after 4·2 (0·6) waves of follicles.  相似文献

Natural GnRH and its analog have potential for hastening ovulation in mares. A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a GnRH agonist given either as an injectable or s.c. implant for induction of ovulation in mares. Forty-five seasonally anestrous mares (March) were assigned to one of three groups (n = 15/group): 1) untreated controls; 2) i.m. injection of the GnRH agonist buserelin at 12-h intervals (40 micrograms/injection for 28 d or until ovulation) and 3) GnRH agonist administered as a s.c. implant (approximately 100 micrograms/24 h for 28 d). Six mares per group were bled on d 0, 7, 14 and 21 after injection or insertion of implant. Samples were taken at -1, -.5 and 0 h and at .5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h after GnRH. Additional daily samples were drawn for 28 d after injection or until ovulation. Samples were assayed for concentration of LH and FSH. Progesterone concentrations were determined in samples collected on d 4, 6 and 10 after ovulation. Number and size of follicles and detection of ovulation were determined by ultrasonography. Number of mares induced to ovulate within 30 d was 0 of 15, 7 of 15 and 9 of 15 for groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. During treatment, follicle sizes were smaller for mares in group 3 (implant). The LH response to GnRH agonist (area under curve) was similar among groups at d 0 but was greater (P less than .05) for mares in group 3 on d 7 and 14 and groups 2 and 3 on d 21 than for controls. A similar pattern was detected for peak concentrations of LH after GnRH on d 0, 7, 14 and 21. Daily concentrations of LH remained low in untreated control mares compared with GnRH-treated mares throughout the sampling period. Concentrations of LH for mares in group 3 that ovulated were elevated greatly above those for group 2 mares, whereas concentrations of FSH were similar in both treatment groups prior to ovulation.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the first ovulation within 3 weeks postpartum and subsequent ovarian cycles and fertility in high producing dairy cattle in Hokkaido, Japan. In Experiment 1, 110 cows (44 primiparous and 66 multiparous) were used to determine the effects of the first ovulation within 3 weeks postpartum on subsequent ovarian cycles. Milk samples were collected twice weekly from 7 to 100 days postpartum. The first ovulation was identified by an increase in milk progesterone (P4) to more than 1 ng/ml within 3 weeks postpartum. The numbers of cows showing ovulation and anovulation within 3 weeks postpartum were 31 (70.5%) and 13 (29.5%) in the primiparous cows and 35 (53.0%) and 31 (47.0%) in the multiparous cows, respectively. The patterns of ovarian resumption after calving were classified into two types (normal ovarian cycles and abnormal ovarian cycles) on the basis of milk P4 concentrations. Initiation of normal ovarian function in cows ovulated within 3 weeks postpartum occurred earlier than in anovulated cows regardless of the number of calvings (primiparous, 27.8 days vs. 44.4 days; multiparous, 30.6 days vs. 55.7 days; P<0.01). Out of the multiparous cows that ovulated within 3 weeks postpartum, initiation of normal ovarian function followed by a normal luteal phase was earlier than when it was followed by an abnormal luteal phase (25.5 days vs. 40.4 days; P<0.05). Milk P4 concentrations after the first ovulation were lower than those after the second ovulation in both the primiparous and multiparous cows (P<0.05). In Experiment 2, 22 multiparous cows were used to determine the effects of the first ovulation within 3 weeks postpartum on subsequent fertility. Blood samples were collected once a week from 0 to 3 weeks postpartum. The interval from parturition to first service in ovulated cows was shorter than in anovulated cows (68.4 days vs. 94.8 days; P<0.05). The conception rate by 100 days after calving tended to be higher in ovulated cows than in anovulated cows (50.0% vs. 16.7%, P=0.09). In conclusion, our data strongly suggests that ovulation within 3 weeks postpartum is a crucial phenomenon for subsequent resumption of ovarian function and conception, and thus it can be used as an index of subsequent reproductive performance.  相似文献
