Resumo
A presença do bezerro, o escore de condição corporal, o balaço energético, o número de partos (multíparas vs. primíparas) e a raça são fatores que influenciam a duração do período de anestro pós-parto em vacas de corte. Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar em que período do pós-parto ocorre o restabelecimento dos estoques de LH, mensurados pela responsividade do eixo hipotalámico-hipofisário a administração exógena de GnRH ou BE, imediatamente após o parto. Foram utilizadas vacas Nelore (Bos indicus, n=21) e Brangus (3/5 Nelore x 5/8 Angus, n=19) primíparas (experimento 1) e vacas Nelore multíparas (experimento 2, n=90). Os animais de ambos os experimentos foram divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos: Grupo BE (1 mg de BE, IM), Grupo GnRH (50 μg, lecirelina, IM). No experimento 2, os grupos BE-SUPL e GnRH-SUPL receberam os mesmos tratamentos especificados acima e foram suplementadas com ração balanceada a base de milho moído e farelo de algodão (3,5 Kg/dia). Adicionalmente, dezessete vacas Nelore (exp. 2) foram submetidas à remoção de bezerro (RB) logo após o parto. Além disso, no exp. 2 foram introduzidos dois grupos: LH (12,5 mg de LH IM) e Controle (não foi utilizado agente indutor de ovulação). Os fármacos foram administrados a partir do sétimo dia pós-parto (± 5 dias) em intervalos de 7 dias até a ocorrência da primeira ovulação, a qual foi determinada pela presença de CL detectado por exames ultrassonográficos semanais (US, Aloka 900) dos ovários. As amostras de sangue foram coletadas antes e 2 h (Grupos GnRH, LH e controle) ou 18 h (Grupo BE) depois da administração dos hormônios ou salina (controle) para determinação das concentrações de LH e progesterona por RIA. Os dados dos exp. 1 e 2 foram analisados por ANOVA. As primeiras ovulações detectadas nas vacas Nelore dos grupos GnRH em ambos os experimentos ocorreram...
The presence of calf, body condition score, energy balance, number of births (multiparous vs primiparous) and breed are factors that influence the duration of postpartum anestrus in beef cows. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate, during early postpartum, the time necessary for reestablishment of pituitary LH stocks, determined by the hypothalamic-pituitary axis responsiveness to exogenous administration of GnRH or estradiol benzoate (EB). Primiparous lactating Nelore (Bos indicus, n=21) and Brangus (3/5 Nellore x 5/8 Angus, n=19) cows (experiment 1), and multiparous lactating Nellore (n=90, exp. 2), were used. In both exp. the animals were randomly allocated into two groups: EB group (1.0 mg of EB, i.m.), GnRH group (50 μg lecireline, i.m.). In experiment 2, EB-SUP and GnRH-SUP groups received the same treatments above specified and were supplemented with a balanced diet, based on cotton meal and ground corn (3.5 kg/day). Additionally, Nellore seventeen cows (exp. 2) had their calf removed (CR) shortly after parturition. Moreover, in experiment 2 two other groups were introduced: LH group (LH 12.5 mg, i.m) and Control group (received saline instead of an ovulation-inducing agent). The hormones were administered weekly, from seven days postpartum (± 5 days) until the occurrence of the first ovulation, which was determined by the presence of CL during weekly ovarian ultrasonography. Blood samples were collected just before and 2 h (GnRH, LH and control groups) or 18 h (EB groups) after hormone or saline (control) administration, in order to determine LH and progesterone concentrations by RIA. Data were analyzed by ANOVA. The earliest ovulations detected in Nellore cows from GnRH groups in both experiments occurred 15 days after parturition. Furthermore, the average for the first ovulation in GnRH treated Brangus and Nellore cows (exp. 1) were significantly lower when... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
