History, evolution and perspectives of timed artificial insemination programs in Brazil
نویسندگان
چکیده
Currently, timed artificial insemination (TAI) can be applied routinely in the reproductive programs on farms. TAI protocols are designed to promote control of both luteal and follicular function, permitting the TAI with satisfactory pregnancy per AI (P/AI). A variety of protocols for TAI have been designed according to specific characteristics and requirements of different breeds, animal categories and types of management. The most common of these therapies use GnRH or estradiol plus progesterone/progestin (P4)-releasing devices and prostaglandin F2α. Moreover, TAI programs should be considered as an important tool of reproductive management to enhance the reproductive performance of cattle. Thus, the correct incorporation of these programs within the farm routine enhances reproductive efficiency of livestock to increase overall productivity of the farm unit.

Sperm Transport in the Mare Reproductive Tract: A Review
The objective of this study was to review the literature on sperm transport in the mare. During this process the sperm cells must reach the oviducts in order to fertilize the oocyte, but before reaching this site it must go through the uterus that is a hostile environment at this moment since there is an inflammatory reaction in this location that aims to eliminate excess spermatozoa and bacter...

متن کاملAn investigation on the possibility of using eCG for presynchronization prior to ovsynch in dairy cow
Background: Presynchronization could enhance fertility in timed breeding programs. The best presynchronization method has to justify biological requirements and to provide practical and economic advantages. OBJECTIVES: Present study investigated the effectiveness of presynchronization with equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) before ovsynch (eCG-ovsynch) compared to conventional presynch-ovsynch...
متن کاملEconomic aspects of applying reproductive technologies to dairy herds
Reproduction continues to be a critical component to maintain a dairy farm economically viable. For every farm and for every cow, there is an optimum time for pregnancy, which is mostly influenced by level of production, persistency of lactation, and parity. In general, as production decreases, lactation number increases, and persistency of lactation decreases, cows should be bred sooner postpa...
