dc.description.abstract | The study was carried out on 43 repeat breeder cows selected from Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex and Instructional livestock farm complex Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University, Palampur along with nearby field veterinary institutions for the evaluation of controlled internal drug release (CIDR) insert. The selected cows were divided into four groups viz. Group 1 (G1; n=12) CIDR-PGF2α synchronization protocol and post-insemination CIDR insertion from day 4 to 13, Group 2 (G2; n=13) CIDR-PGF2α synchronization protocol and post-insemination CIDR insertion from day 12 to 21, and Group 3 and 4 control (G3 and G4; n=9 each) in which no treatment was given to cows and artificial insemination (AI) was done on the day of spontaneous estrus. Blood samples were collected at the time of post-insemination CIDR insertion, 72 h after CIDR insertion and 48 h after CIDR removal. Effect of treatment on follicular growth and corpus luteum development was assessed by trans-rectal ultrasonography (TRUS). Pregnancy diagnosis was done 45 days post AI by rectal examination and TRUS. Intra-vaginal CIDR insertion led to a higher conception rate in repeat breeder cows as compared to untreated cows under control group. Estrus synchronization with CIDR based protocols resulted in significantly lower (p<0.01-0.05) diameter of corpus luteum albicans as compared to nonsynchronized (control) cows at estrus. No significant increase (p>0.05) in progesterone concentration and corpus luteum size was recorded at different days of observations following post-insemination CIDR insertion in both the treatment groups as compared to control group. Subsequently pregnant repeat breeder cows following post-insemination CIDR insertion had a non-significantly (p>0.05) higher progesterone concentration and corpus luteum size at different days of observations in both the treatment and control groups as compared to non-pregnant cows. Also, mean pre-ovulatory follicular diameter was found to be non-significantly higher (p>0.05) in subsequently pregnant as compared to non-pregnant cows in treatment and control groups. | en_US |
