O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a incidência de perdas gestacionais em vacas de corte e avaliar o efeito da vacina contra IBR/BVD/Leptospirose (5,0 mL, Cattle Master® 4 + L5) na taxa de prenhez e perdas de gestação de vacas submetidas à Inseminação Artificial em Tempo Fixo [IATF, Protocolo; D0: benzoato de estradiol (2mg, Estrogin

The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of pregnancy loss in beef cows, and evaluate the effect of the vaccine against IBR/BVD/Leptospirosis (5.0 mL, Cattle Master ® 4 + L5) in pregnancy rate and pregnancy loss of cows subjected to fixed-time artificial insemination [TAI, Protocol; D0: estradiol benzoate (2mg, Estrogin) and insertion of intravaginal P4 device (CIDR, P4, 1.9 g); D7: dinoprost tromethamine (PGF2, 5mg Lutalyse), D9: withdrawal of intravaginal P4 device, administration of estradiol cypionate (0.5 mg, ECP®) and temporary calf removal for 48 hours; D11: TAI]. The pregnancy diagnosis was performed at 30 and 120 days after TAI for identify cows pregnant and pregnancy loss respectively. In EXP1 8725 cows were evaluated to determine the rate of pregnancy loss between 30 and 120 days. The cows were from nineteen farms with different health programs. Cows without immunization reproductive diseases (Group No, n = 7311), with immunization semester to leptospirosis (Leptospirosis Group, n = 738) or semester immunization against leptospirosis and annual against infectious rhinotracheitis bovine and bovine viral diarrhea (Group IBR/BVD/Leptospirosis, n = 676). In EXP2 (n = 1968) and EXP3 (n = 2793) cows were randomly assigned within the same batch to receive or not vaccine against IBR/BVD/Leptospirosis (5.0 ml, 4 Cattle Master® L5 +): the first dose was administered at the beginning of the TAI protocol and the second dose at the time of first diagnosis of pregnancy (US1/30d). In EXP2 farms did not use any kind of preventive vaccine for diseases of reproduction, as in exp3 farms used vaccination against Leptospirosis. In EXP 4 367 nelore cows were submitted to TAI, the animals were randomly assigned to receive the vaccine at different times. Animals from groups:...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)
