POTENTIAL OF DESLORELIN AS INDUCTOR OF OVULATION FOR TIMEDARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IN PRIMIPAROUS Bos taurus indicus COWS
Keywords:
Intramuscular deslorelin, TAI, protocol hormone, bovine, primiparousAbstract
The aim of the study was to verify the efficiency of deslorelin (DES) as inductor of ovulation
in timed-artificial insemination (TAI) protocols on pregnancy rate (PR) in primiparous Bos
taurus indicus cows. Hundred seventy six animals were divided into three groups (G):
GNDES (Group No Deslorelin; n = 59) which received on day 0 (d0) an intravaginal device
with 0.558 g of progesterone (P4) + 2.0 mg estradiol benzoate (EB) (IM); d8 P4 removal +
0.5 mg of estradiol cypionate (EC) + 150 g of cloprostenol + 400 IU of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG); in d10 TAI was proceeded; GDES (DES group; n = 60) the same as
GNDES + 1.0 mg (IM) DES acetate in TAI day; GDES6 (DES applied 6 hours before TAI, n
= 57) the same as GDES, but DES injected 6 hours before TAI. The pregnancy rate (PR) in
TAI and at the end of the breeding season (BS) was respectively 40.6; 53.3; 43.8% and 72.9;
81.7; 70.2% in GNDES, GDES and GDES6. In conclusion, the DES brought an indicative of
improvement in the PR for TAI, in the treated groups (3.2 to 12.7 % more) than control,
however without significance; the BCS, open days and the reproductive status of anestrous or
cyclicality, did not influenced the PR in TAI at 60 days or at the end of the BS.
