The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of GnRH early postpartum on induction of ovulation, uterine health, and fertility in dairy cows. Holstein cows without a corpus luteum (CL) at 17 +/- 3 DIM were assigned randomly to receive i.m. GnRH (n = 245) at 17 +/- 3 and 20 +/- 3 DIM or remain as controls (n = 245). Ovaries were scanned by ultrasonography twice weekly totaling 4 examinations. Ovulation was characterized by the appearance of a CL >= 20 mm at any ultrasound or CL <20 mm in 2 consecutive examinations. Clinical and cytological endometritis were diagnosed at 35 DIM. Compared with control, GnRH increased ovulation up to 3.5 d after the last treatment (78.7 vs. 45.0%) and did not affect the prevalence of clinical endometritis (23.9 vs. 18.6%) or cytological endometritis (30.9 vs. 32.8%). Prevalence of clinical endometritis increased in cows that had calving problems (32.6 vs. 15.9%) and metritis (40.6 vs. 15.8%). Metritis increased prevalence of cytological endometritis (50.7 vs. 23.5%). Treatment with GnRH did not affect pregnancy per artificial insemination at 32 (37.6 vs. 38.6%) or 74 d after artificial insemination (35.0 vs. 31.5%), but reduced pregnancy loss (6.8 vs. 18.1%). No overall effect of GnRH treatment on hazard of pregnancy was observed; however, an interaction between GnRH treatment and ovulation showed that GnRH-treated cows that ovulated had increased hazard of pregnancy by 300 DIM compared with GnRH-treated and control cows that did not ovulate (hazard ratio = 2.0 and 1.3, respectively), but similar to control cows that ovulated (hazard ratio = 1.1). Gonadotropin-releasing hormone early postpartiim induced ovulation without affecting uterine health, but failed to improve pregnancy per artificial insemination or time to pregnancy, although it reduced pregnancy loss.

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)

Thymol is a monoterpene with proven acaricide action for several tick species. In addition to killing these ectoparasites, thymol can also reduce oviposition and egg hatch rate. However, the effects of thymol on the morphophysiology of tick ovaries are still unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the morphophysiological changes caused by this active principle in ovaries of Rhipicephalus sanguineus after a 6-day feeding period, through the application of morphohistochemical techniques. After the feeding period, a total of 50 females were divided into five groups and immersed in the following solutions: (I) distilled water (control), (II) 30 % ethanol (control), (III) 1.25 mg/mL thymol, (IV) 2.5 mg/mL thymol, and (V) 5.0 mg/mL thymol. The experimental groups were kept in a climatic chamber (27 +/- 1 A degrees C; RH 80 A +/- 10 %) for 5 days. After this period, morphological (hematoxylin/eosin) and histochemical (von Kossa) techniques were applied after remotion of the ovaries. The morphological results revealed large vacuoles in germ cells at different developmental stages and invaginations that represent deformations in the chorionic membrane. From the results obtained in this study, it was concluded that thymol interfered with the development of oocytes, which showed degeneration signs. The treatment containing 5.0 mg/mL thymol affected more accentuately the morphological development. Moreover, thymol also altered the calcium content of yolk granules, which generally showed an intense staining for this element.

The objective of this study was evaluate the effects of immunocastration on body weight gain, carcass characteristics and meat quality of Nellore beef cattle. Eighty Nellore beef cattle, with initial body weight of 357 +/- 8.63 kg, were placed in feedlots and distributed in two treatments (40 animals per treatments) as follow: one - non-vaccinated bulls and two - immunocastrated bulls (Bopriva (R), Pfizer Animal Health). The animals placed on treatment two were vaccinated in two doses, first application 30 days before they arrive on the feedlots and second on the day they arrive on feedlots. After 67 days of experimental period, was calculated the daily gain of live weight in kg/day of the 80 animals and selected 20 animals from each treatment for the slaughter and carcass evaluations, and ten from each group for the meat analyzes. The data were submitted to analysis of variance. Immunocastrated animals showed lower daily weight gain, hot carcass weight, carcass yield, pH, leg thickness, muscle depth, loin muscle area, carcass muscle percentage, shear force and moisture. However, this animals had higher concentration of lactate and cortisol blood, chest depth, fat thickness, finishing degree, a *, b * and c*, liquid loss in thawing process, myofibrillar fragmentation index and ether extract of meat when compared to non-vaccinated bulss. The immunocastration (Bopriva (R)) is an alternative for improving the quality of meat by the higher fat deposition and by the reduction of the shear force of the meat when compared to non-vaccinated bulls.
