Três experimentos foram realizados para testar a hipótese de que a resposta superestimulatória de doadoras Nelore (Bos indicus) com tratamentos iniciados próximo à ovulação durante a primeira onda de crescimento folicular seria maior ou comparável àquela decorrente de tratamentos convencionais. Os animais foram aleatoriamente alocados em três grupos. As doadoras dos Grupos 1 - Onda 1 s/P4 e 2 - Onda 1 c/P4 foram superestimuladas na primeira onda de crescimento folicular, e as do Grupo 3 - SincBE+P4/P4 quatro dias após a sincronização da emergência folicular com estradiol e progesterona. Os animais receberam dispositivo intravaginal de Progesterona (CIDR) associado a 50mg de Progesterona e 2,5mg de Benzoato de Estradiol (IM) no Dia 0. Os animais dos Grupos 1 e 2 receberam PGF2&alpha; no Dia 5 e 12,5mg Armour de LH (Lutropin) 24 horas após a remoção do CIDR (Dia 9), e no Dia 11 iniciou-se o tratamento superovulatório. As doadoras do Grupo 2 receberam um novo CIDR juntamente com a primeira dose de FSH (Dia 11). Todos os animais foram superestimulados com 133mg NIH-FSH-P1 de Folltropin diluídos em 10ml, em duas aplicações diárias de 1ml, por cinco dias. No último dia de tratamento, junto com o FSH foram aplicadas doses luteolíticas de PGF2&alpha; nos Grupos 2 e 3 o CIDR foi removido na ultima aplicação. Todas as doadoras receberam 25mg de LH 24 horas após a ultima dose de FSH e foram inseminadas 12 e 24 horas após o LH. Os embriões foram coletados e avaliados pelo mesmo veterinário sete dias após a inseminação. No primeiro experimento, as quantidades de embriões transferíveis não foi significativamente diferente entre os grupos 2 e 3 (8,0 ± 1,8 x 6,6 ± 2,0), e ambas foram maiores que as do 1 (0,2 ± 0,2; P<0,05). Como não houve diferença entre os Grupos 2 e 3 nos parâmetros analisados, o Grupo 3 foi excluído dos outros dois experimentos. No segundo experimento, as doadoras receberam os mesmos tratamentos dos Grupos 1 e 2, mas foram abatidas 12 horas após receberem 25mg de LH (Dia 16) e tiveram seus ovários removidos e levados para o laboratório, para classificação. Os oócitos foram aspirados e avaliados quanto à maturação pela expansão do COC. Os animais que não receberam dispositivo de P4 durante o tratamento superovulatório apresentaram maior número de oócitos não maturados (6,4 ± 2,7 x 1,2 ± 0,9; P< 0,05). O terceiro experimento foi semelhante ao segundo, com a diferença de que os animais foram inseminados 12 horas após o tratamento com 25mg de LH, e tiveram as estruturas coletadas 7 dias após a IA. Os resultados desse experimento confirmaram os do primeiro, no qual animais sem suplementação exógena de P4 durante o tratamento superovulatório apresentaram menor número de embriões transferíveis que o grupo com P4 (0,0 ± 0,0 x 3,9 ± 1,1; P<0,05). Os resultados obtidos retificam a hipótese, demonstrando que a superovulação durante a primeira onda de crescimento folicular em novilhas Nelore é eficiente somente com suplementação exógena de P4 / Three experiments were design to test the hypothesis that superovulatory (SPO) response of Nelore (Bos indicus) donors to treatments administered during the first follicular wave, initiated at the expected time of ovulation, will elicited a higher or a comparable response to traditional protocols. In the first experiment, cows were randomly allocated into 1 of 3 treatment groups. Cows in Group Wave 1 without P4 e Group Wave 1 with P4 were superstimulated during the first follicular wave and cows in the Control Group were superstimulated after synchronized follicular wave emergence using estradiol and progesterone. All cows received a CIDR device and an injection of 50mg of P4 and 2.5mg EB on Day 0. Cows in Groups Wave 1 with P4 and Wave 1 without P4 were also treated with PGF2&alpha; on Day 5 and 12,5mg Armour of pLH (Lutropin) 24 h after CIDR removal (Day 9), to synchronize ovulation. The SPO treatments were initiated on Day 11; donor cows in Group Wave 1 with P4 also received a new CIDR device at the time of the first FSH injection. All donors in three groups were superstimulated with a total dose of 133mg NIH-FSH-P1 of Folltropin-V, divided into twice daily injections of the same dosage (13,3mg diluted in 1ml) over 5 days. On the last day of FSH treatment, all animals received PGF2&alpha; after each FSH injection and cows in Group Wave 1 with P4 and Control Group had their CIDR removed at the time of the last FSH injection. All cows received 25 mg of pLH 24h after the last FSH treatment and were AI 12 and 24h later. Ova/embryo collection and evaluation was done 7d after, aIl by the same veterinarian. Results indicate that there was no difference in the numbers of transferable embryos in CIDR treated donor cows when SPO treatments were initiated at the time of emergence of either the first follicular wave Group Wave 1 with P4 (8.0 ± 1.8) or following synchronization of follicular wave emergence with BE + P4, control Group (6.6 ± 2.0), but both were greater than when SPO treatments were initiated at the first follicular wave without the use of a CIDR device, Wave 1 without P4 (0.2 ± 0.2; P<0,05). Since there were no differences between Groups Wave 1 with P4 and control on all the end points, this group was dropped from the others experiments. A second experiment was performed in order to evaluate the quality of oocyte recovered after animals were treated under the same protocol of Groups Wave 1. The SPO treatments were the same described previously, however 12h after the injection of 25mg of pLH animals were slaughtered and their ovaries were taken to an IVF lab. Follicles were aspirated and the oocyte was evaluated and those with an expanded COC were considered mature. Animals in Group Wave 1 without P4 showed a greater (P<0,05) number of immature oocyte (6.4 ± 2.7) than Group Wave 1 with P4 (1.2 ± 0.9). The third experiment was performed to confirm the results of the first experiment. The treatments were similar as the second experiment, however, animals were AI 12 and 24h after the 25mg of pLH and had ova/embryos collection and evaluation 7 d after by the same veterinarian. Results of this experiment confirmed the first experiment presenting a greater (P<0,05) number of transferable embryos in Group Wave 1 with P4 (3.9 ± 1,1) when compared to Group Wave 1 without P4 (0.0 ± 0.0). The results did not support the hypothesis, showing that exogenous P4 is necessary in order to superovulate Nelore during the first follicular wave

El efecto de sincronización de la onda folicular empleando GnRH y LH sobre la tasa de preñez fue estudiado en 60 alpacas hembras adultas, y 60 llamas hembras adultas. Las hembras con folículos ≥ 7mm detectadas por ultrasonografía, fueron distribuidas al azar en tres grupos experimentales de 20 animales cada uno: grupo Control (1 ml de solución salina, IM); grupo GnRH (0.004 mg de acetato de buserelina, IM) y grupo LH (5 mg de LH, IM). La respuesta ovárica a los tratamientos se evaluó mediante ultrasonografía transrectal para determinar el intervalo en días, desde los tratamientos a la emergencia de la nueva onda folicular y el día en que el nuevo folículo dominante alcanzó ≥ 7mm de diámetro. El intervalo desde los tratamientos a la emergencia de la onda folicular fue similar (p mayor 0.05) en los grupos Control (4.5 ± 1.2 días y 4.7 ± 1.2 días), GnRH (4.3 ± 1.4 días y 4.6 ± 1.2 días) y LH (4.5 ± 1.2 días y 4.0 ± 1.2 días), para alpacas y llamas respectivamente. El intervalo desde el tratamiento hasta el día en qué el nuevo folículo dominante alcanzó ≥7 mm, no difirió en los grupos de alpacas Control (8.4 ± 1.9 días), GnRH (9.0 ± 1.6 días) y LH (7.9 ± 2.0 días) (p mayor 0.05). Entretanto en llamas, el intervalo desde los tratamientos a la presencia del nuevo folículo dominante en los grupos GnRH (7.9 ± 1.6 días) y LH (6.7 ± 1.6 días) fueron diferentes con el grupo Control (9.6 ± 1.0 días) (p menor 0.05). El tamaño folicular en alpacas, un día antes del empadre fue menor en los grupos GnRH (6.8 ± 1.4 mm) y Control (7.2 ± 1.3 mm) comparado con el grupo LH (8.9 ± 1.9 mm) (p menor 0.05). Adicionalmente en llamas, el tamaño folicular, un día antes del empadre fue diferente (p menor0.05) entre los grupos Control (6.4 ± 1.3 mm), GnRH (8.5 ± 0.6 mm) y LH (10.4 ± 3.6 mm). El empadre se realizó 12 días después de los tratamientos. Los animales fueron evaluados por ultrasonografía para determinar la tasa de ovulación el día 2 después del empadre y la tasa de preñez el día 35 después del empadre. La tasa de ovulación post empadre fue similar en los grupos control (85.7% y 64.7%), GnRH (94.4% y 88.9%) y LH (85.7% y 77.8%), para alpacas y llamas, respectivamente. La tasa de preñez en el día 35 después del empadre fue similar para todos los grupos (p> 0.05), Control (78.6% y 47.1%), GnRH (77.8% y 66.7%) y LH (64.3% y 72.2%) para alpacas y llamas, respectivamente. En conclusión, la sincronización con GnRH o LH no influyó en el intervalo desde los tratamientos a la emergencia de la nueva onda folicular, tasa de ovulación post empadre, ni la tasa de preñez en alpacas y llamas. / The effect of follicular wave synchronization using GnRH and LH on pregnancy rate was studied in 60 adult female alpacas, and 60 adult female llamas. Females with follicles ≥ 7mm detected by ultrasonography were randomly allocated in three experimental groups of 20 animals each one: Control group (1 ml saline solution, IM), GnRH group (0.004 mg of buserelin acetate, IM) and LH group (5 mg of LH, IM). The ovarian response to treatments was evaluated by transrectal ultrasonography to determine the interval in days from treatments to new follicular wave emergency and to the day which the new dominant follicle reached ≥ 7mm in diameter. The intervals from the treatments to follicular emergency were similar (p> 0.05) in Control (4.5 ± 1.2 days and 4.7 ± 1.2 days); GnRH (4.3 ± 1.4 days and 4.6 ± 1.2 days) and LH groups (4.5 ± 1.2 days and 4.0 ± 1.2 days), for alpacas and llamas respectively. The interval from the treatment to the day on which the new dominant follicle reached ≥ 7 mm in alpacas did not differ in Control (8.4 ± 1.9 days), GnRH (9.0 ± 1.6 days) and LH (7.9 ± 2.0 days) groups (p> 0.05). Meanwhile in llamas, the interval from the treatment to the presence of the new dominant follicle in GnRH (7.9 ± 1.6 days), and LH (6.7 ± 1.6 days) groups were different in comparison to Control group (9.6 ± 1.0 days) (p less 0.05). Follicular sizes in alpacas a day before mating were smaller in GnRH (6.8±1.4 mm) and Control (7.2 ± 1.3 mm) groups in comparison to LH group (8.9 ± 1.9 mm) (p less 0.05). Additionally, in llamas follicular size a day before mating was different (p less 0.05) among Control (6.4 ± 1.3 mm), GnRH (8.5 ± 0.6 mm) and LH (10.4 ± 3.6 mm) groups. Mating was permitted 12 days after treatments. Animals were evaluated by ultrasonography to determine ovulation rate on day 2 after mating and pregnancy rate on day 35 after mating. After mating, ovulation rate were similar in Control (85.7% and 64.7%), GnRH (94.4% and 88.9%) and LH (85.7% and 77.8%) groups, for alpacas and llamas, respectively. Pregnancy rate on day 35 after mating were similar for all groups (p> 0.05), Control (78.6% and 47.1%), GnRH (77.8% and 66.7%), and LH (64.3% and 72.2%) for alpacas and llamas, respectively. In conclusion, synchronization with GnRH or LH did not affect on the intervals from treatments to emergency of new follicular wave, ovulation rate post mating, nor pregnancy rate in alpacas and llamas.

Os resultados obtidos retificam a hipótese, demonstrando que a superovulação durante a primeira onda de crescimento folicular em novilhas Nelore é eficiente somente com suplementação exógena de P4 / Three experiments were design to test the hypothesis that superovulatory (SPO) response of Nelore (Bos indicus) donors to treatments administered during the first follicular wave, initiated at the expected time of ovulation, will elicited a higher or a comparable response to traditional protocols. In the first experiment, cows were randomly allocated into 1 of 3 treatment groups. Cows in Group Wave 1 without P4 e Group Wave 1 with P4 were superstimulated during the first follicular wave and cows in the Control Group were superstimulated after synchronized follicular wave emergence using estradiol and progesterone. All cows received a CIDR device and an injection of 50mg of P4 and 2.5mg EB on Day 0. Cows in Groups Wave 1 with P4 and Wave 1 without P4 were also treated with PGF2&alpha; on Day 5 and 12,5mg Armour of pLH (Lutropin) 24 h after CIDR removal (Day 9), to synchronize ovulation. The SPO treatments were initiated on Day 11; donor cows in Group Wave 1 with P4 also received a new CIDR device at the time of the first FSH injection. All donors in three groups were superstimulated with a total dose of 133mg NIH-FSH-P1 of Folltropin-V, divided into twice daily injections of the same dosage (13,3mg diluted in 1ml) over 5 days. On the last day of FSH treatment, all animals received PGF2&alpha; after each FSH injection and cows in Group Wave 1 with P4 and Control Group had their CIDR removed at the time of the last FSH injection. All cows received 25 mg of pLH 24h after the last FSH treatment and were AI 12 and 24h later. Ova/embryo collection and evaluation was done 7d after, aIl by the same veterinarian. Results indicate that there was no difference in the numbers of transferable embryos in CIDR treated donor cows when SPO treatments were initiated at the time of emergence of either the first follicular wave Group Wave 1 with P4 (8.0 ± 1.8) or following synchronization of follicular wave emergence with BE + P4, control Group (6.6 ± 2.0), but both were greater than when SPO treatments were initiated at the first follicular wave without the use of a CIDR device, Wave 1 without P4 (0.2 ± 0.2; P<0,05). Since there were no differences between Groups Wave 1 with P4 and control on all the end points, this group was dropped from the others experiments. A second experiment was performed in order to evaluate the quality of oocyte recovered after animals were treated under the same protocol of Groups Wave 1. The SPO treatments were the same described previously, however 12h after the injection of 25mg of pLH animals were slaughtered and their ovaries were taken to an IVF lab. Follicles were aspirated and the oocyte was evaluated and those with an expanded COC were considered mature. Animals in Group Wave 1 without P4 showed a greater (P<0,05) number of immature oocyte (6.4 ± 2.7) than Group Wave 1 with P4 (1.2 ± 0.9). The third experiment was performed to confirm the results of the first experiment. The treatments were similar as the second experiment, however, animals were AI 12 and 24h after the 25mg of pLH and had ova/embryos collection and evaluation 7 d after by the same veterinarian. Results of this experiment confirmed the first experiment presenting a greater (P<0,05) number of transferable embryos in Group Wave 1 with P4 (3.9 ± 1,1) when compared to Group Wave 1 without P4 (0.0 ± 0.0). The results did not support the hypothesis, showing that exogenous P4 is necessary in order to superovulate Nelore during the first follicular wave

Entretanto, o Acetato de Fertirelina é um análogo deste hormônio cujas informações sobre sua ação na dinâmica folicular dos bovinos são poucas, principalmente nas condições brasileiras. Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar a eficiência de duas doses de Acetato de Fertirelina para sincronização da emergência da onda de desenvolvimento folicular e ovulação, em vacas leiteiras submetidas ao protocolo Ovsynch. Utilizaram-se 77 vacas, a partir dos 60 dias pós-parto e escore corporal entre 2,5-4,0. Os animais apresentavam população folicular e corpo lúteo (CL) característico (Classe 1) ou ausência de CL, porém presença de pelo menos um folículo com diâmetro >10mm (Classe 2). As fêmeas foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em quatro tratamentos. Em conclusão, as concentrações séricas de progesterona e estradiol, taxas de sincronização, ovulação e prenhez demonstraram que o Acetato de Fertirelina foi eficiente em provocar a emergência da onda folicular e induzir a ovulação, nas doses de 50 ou 100mg, sugerindo que doses de 50mg de Fertirelina podem ser indicadas sem comprometimento nos resultados finais do programa. / Many similar products to GnRH are effective in protocols of fixed timed artificial insemination (FTAI). However, Fertirelin Acetate is an analog of this hormone whose information about action in the bovine follicular dynamics is inconsistent, mainly in brazilian conditions. Therefore, the objective of this work was to compare the efficiency of two doses of Fertirelin used for synchronization of follicular wave emergence and ovulation, in dairy cows submitted to Ovsynch protocol. Seventy seven lactating dairy cows, on over of 60 days postpartum and body score of 2.5 to 4.0. The animals presenting a reasonable number of follicles either a presence of CL (group 1) or without CL but at last =10 mm follicles (group 2). The females were randomly distributed in four treatments. The pregnancy rates were also similar (P>0.05) with mean of 28.37%. In conclusion, Progesterone and Estradiol concentrations, follicular wave synchronization, induction of ovulation and pregnant rates demonstrate that Fertirelin was efficient in inducing a new follicular wave emergency, as well as the induction of the ovulation at the end of the protocol, using the dose of either 50mg or 100 mg, suggesting that 50mg of Fertirelin can be useful without compromising the final results.

Foram utilizadas dez (10) fêmeas mestiças entre as raças Murrah e Mediterrânea com parições eutócicas e sem histórico de problemas reprodutivos, manejados em regime semi extensivo, com disponibilidade de água e suplementação mineral ad libitum. Constatou-se a presença de padrões de crescimento folicular de duas ondas (2OCF) e de três ondas (3OCF), na proporção de 40% e 60%, respectivamente. O 1º e 2º cios pós parto se manifestaram aos 37,00+13,12 e 58,83+14,56 dias pós parto para os animais de 2OCF e aos 45,00+15,19 e 66,00+23,02 dias pós parto para os animais de 3OCF. Os intervalos estrais foram de 21,00+2,44 e 21.83+2,56 dias para os animais de 2OCF e 3OCF, respectivamente. A emergência folicular, ocorreu em média aos 1,02+0,34 e 7,25+0,50 dias do ciclo para a primeira e segunda onda, respectivamente, dos animais do 2OCF e aos 0,93+0,35; 6,6+1,36 e 10,83+1,94 dias do ciclo para a primeira, segunda e terceira onda, respectivamente, para os animais de 3OCF. O diâmetro folicular pré ovulatório foi de 13,08+2,6 e 11,45+0,35 mm para o 1º e 2º cios pós parto dos animais de 2OCF e 13,24+2,41 e 12,74+1,10 mm para o 1º e 2º cios pós parto dos animais de 3OCF. A involução uterina ocorreu em média aos 29,00+1,48 dias, P<0,05, com diâmetro do corno uterino pós gravídico (CUPG) em torno de 18,84+0,33 mm. A taxa da involução uterina foi de 0,97+0,21, (P<0,05). Observou-se alta correlação entre o PPP e CUPG, representada por r=-0,8179 (P<0,0001), sendo possível estabelecer uma regressão linear entre os dois parâmetros, representada pela equação Y=40,8809 + (-0,8214.X) (P<0,0001). / In this experiment aimed to monitor the follicular dynamics and ovarian activity of buffalo females in the postpartum period through ultrasound exams, investigating whether some events related to ovarian activity in the Postpartum Period (PPP), and uterine involution, since the 7th day calved until the second post-partum estrus. ten were used (10) crossbred females between Murrah and Mediterranean breeds with eutócicas parities and no history of reproductive problems, managed in semi extensive system, with availability of water and mineral supplementation ad libitum. It was found the presence of follicular growth patterns of two waves (2 OCF) and three waves (3OCF) at a ratio of 40% and 60%, respectively. The 1st and 2nd postpartum estrus demonstrated to 37,00+13,12 and 58,83+14,56 days postpartum for 2OCF animals, 45,00 + 15,19 and 66,00 + 23.02 days postpartum for animal 3OCF. The estrous intervals were 21,00+2,44 and 21,83+2,56 days for animals 2OCF and 3OCF respectively. Follicular emergency occurred at an average of 1,02+0,34 and 7.25+0,50 days cycle for the first and second waveform, respectively, of animals and 2OCF 0,93+0,35; 6,6+1,36 and 10,83+1,94 days cycle for the first, second and third wave, respectively, for the animal 3OCF. The pre ovulatory follicular diameter was 13,08±2,6 and 11,45+0,35 mm for the 1st and 2nd postpartum estrus of 2 OCF animals and 13,24+2,41 and 12,74+1,10 mm for the 1st and 2nd postpartum estrus of 3OCF animals. The uterine involution occurred at an average of 29,00+1,48 days, (P <0.001), diameter of the post gravid uterine horn (DPGUH) around 18,84+0,33 mm. The rate of uterine involution was 0,97+0,21 mm/day, (P <0,001). There was a high correlation between the PPP and CUPG, represented by r = -0,8179 (P<0,0001), being possible to establish a linear regression between the two parameters, represented by the equation Y = 40,8809 + (-0,8214.X) (P<0,0001).
