O presente trabalho envolveu três experimentos: Influência da imunização passiva contra estradiol (E2) e a aspiração do maior folículo (F1) no momento do desvio folicular esperado, sobre a ocorrência do desvio folicular observado. Também foi objetivo verificar o efeito desses tratamentos sobre o perfil de hormônio folículo estimulante (FSH), hormônio luteinizante (LH) e inibina total circulante. Para tanto, os animais foram imunizados com dose única de soro anti-E2 (G anti-E2) ou o F1 foi aspirado no momento do desvio esperado (GAF1). O plasma sangüíneo foi obtido no período pré e póstratamento. O intervalo entre o dia da aplicação do soro (desvio esperado) e o dia da detecção do desvio foi em média o mesmo para o G anti-E2 e controle. No GAF1, a eliminação do maior folículo provocou atraso no momento da detecção do desvio folicular entre o segundo (F2) e o terceiro (F3) maior folículo, comparado ao controle. Em ambos os tratamentos o perfil de FSH, LH e inibina total foi similar ao controle. O experimento 2 tratou de um projeto piloto visando dominar a técnica de colheita de fluido dos grandes folículos ovarianos por meio de punção com agulha fina e o efeito desse procedimento sobre o folículo e às concentrações hormonais. Foram utilizados dois grupos de animais, G1 o folículo foi mantido intacto (controle) e G2 foi utilizada uma punção folicular quando o maior folículo atingiu diâmetro ~35 mm. Ultrasonografia ovariana foi realizada desde o ínicio da detecção de um folículo ~25mm, seguindo até a detecção da ovulação. O terceiro experimento objetivou verificar a influência de gonadotrofina coriônica humana (hCG) em folículos de 30 ou 35mm sobre as concentrações de hormônios esteróides e fatores intrafoliculares. A colheita do fluido folicular foi realizada imediatamente antes e 30 horas após a aplicação... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

In mares, the embryo migrates to the uterus between days 5 and 6 postovulation beginning its mobility through all uterine segments, which is essential for the maternal recognition of pregnancy. During the mobility phase, the embryonic vesicle shows a linear growth rate until its fixation between days 15 and 17, when the orientation phenomenon occurs. From fixation to day 28 of pregnancy, the embryonic growth is less evident (plateau) by cross-section ultrasound examination. After this period the linear growth rate is reestablished until day 46. This plateau is attributed to the increased uterine tone that compresses the vesicle and to volume expansion, making it difficult to detect the conceptus growth only by the cross-section diameter. Around day 20, the embryo proper is visualized as an echogenic spot in the ventral aspect of the vesicle. Additionally, development of allantoic sac, embryonic heartbeat, yolk sac regression and posterior umbilical cord formation also can be visualized from days 20 to 40. An intimate interaction between uterus and conceptus is essential for the normal pregnancy development. Color-and spectral-Doppler ultrasonography can be useful for the evaluation of this interface. A gradual increase on uterine vascularity during the early pregnancy and transient changes in endometrial vascularity accompanying the vesicle location during the mobility phase have been described. Around day 38 of gestation, the formation of the endometrial cups begins and, consequently, the synthesis of the equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) induces the formation and development of supplementary corpora lutea, which are important to secrete progesterone and to maintain pregnancy until around day 120.

Current cattlemen must seek methods to maximum reproductive efficiency of their beef herds, making the business competitive and enhancing greater profitability. For the cow-calf producers, efficiency translates into more cows producing one calf every year. Fixed-time artificial insemination (TAI) is one of several technologies that producers utilize to reach this goal. Postpartum anestrus is one of the biggest obstacles to overcome in order to obtain suitable results at the end of the breeding season. The TAI protocols are efficient in re-establishing cyclicity in noncycling cows during the postpartum period, streamlining the use of labor on farms, allowing the use of artificial insemination (AI) on a large scale, and introducing superior genetics to the herd. The protocols that are most commonly used in Brazil are based on progesterone (P4) releasing devices that prevent premature estrus and ovulation; and estradiol (E2) to synchronize the initiation of a new follicular wave. In such protocols, administration of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) helps the development of the follicle, increases ovulation rate, improves the endocrine and uterine environment during proestrus and diestrus, and improves fertility. The use of eCG in TAI protocols for suckled cows, non-lactating cows and heifers increases the pregnancy rate allowing more calves at the end of the breeding season and higher profitability to the cattlemen

Recent work with P-36 demonstrates that the replacement of the last two doses of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) with equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) increases embryo yields. However, it is unclear if the positive effect of eCG is related to its FSH-like activity, LH-like activity, or both. This study aimed to verify the replacement of eCG with pLH on the last day of superstimulatory treatment. Twenty-five Nelore cows were allocated to four groups: P-36 (control), P-36/eCG, P-36/LH2, and P-36/LH4. All animals underwent four treatments in a crossover design. The control group cows were superstimulated with decreasing doses of porcine Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (pFSH, 133 mg, im). In the P-36/eCG, P-36/LH2, and P-36/LH4 groups, the last two doses of pFSH were replaced in the former group by two doses of eCG (200 IU each dose, im) and in the latter two groups by two doses of pLH (1 and 2 mg each dose, im), respectively. Donors received fixed-time artificial insemination 12 and 24 hours after pLH. Embryo flushing was performed on D16. Data were analyzed by ANOVA (Proc Mixed, SAS). There was a trend of decreasing ovulation rate when comparing groups LH2 and eCG (P = 0.06). However, there was no significant difference in the mean number of viable embryos among groups P-36 (3.3 ± 0.7), P-36/eCG (4.5 ± 0.5), P-36/LH2 (3.7 ± 0.8), and P-36/LH4 (4.2 ± 1.0). It is concluded that the replacement of eCG by pLH on the last day of superstimulatory treatment can be performed with no significant variation in the production of viable embryos.
