Resumo
O objetivo deste estudo foi mensurar as regiões que compõem a garupa da vaca leiteira, com aparelho desenvolvido para esse fim, e avaliar o efeito dessas variáveis na contaminação intra-uterina e na eficiência reprodutiva (intervalos parto-primeiro cio e parto-primeira inseminação, número de serviços por concepção e período de serviço). Foram usadas 252 vacas Holandesas, paridas há mais de 30 dias e não inseminadas. Realizaram-se medidas anatômicas da região pélvica e do aparelho genital e cultivo bacteriológico de material uterino. A influência das variáveis independentes (mensurações) sobre a presença de contaminantes intra-uterinos foi analisada por meio de regressão logística, a da presença de contaminantes intra-uterinos sobre a eficiência reprodutiva, por análise de variância, e a das variáveis independentes (mensurações) sobre a eficiência reprodutiva por meio de regressão linear múltipla. A presença de contaminantes intra-uterinos não foi influenciada por nenhuma das variáveis. Staphylococcus sp. (29,6%) foi o microrganismo mais encontrado no material uterino, seguido por Actinomyces pyogenes (26,0%), Streptococcus sp. (22,2%) e coliformes (22,2%), porém essa contaminação não teve efeito negativo nos índices reprodutivos. Das medidas anatômicas avaliadas, as que influenciaram as características reprodutivas foram: abertura do ílio (maior abertura menor eficiência reprodutiva), localização do óstio cranial da cérvice (quanto mais abdominal, piores os índices reprodutivos) e presença de urovagina (influência negativa na taxa de concepção).
The objective of this study was to measure the dairy cow rump with an equipment especially developed for this purpose, and to evaluate the effect of these variables on intrauterine contamination and reproductive efficiency (intervals parturition-first estrus and parturition-first AI, services per conception and days open). Lactating Holstein cows (n=252) with more than 30 days post-partum were used in this study. Anatomical measurements of the pelvic region and reproductive tract, and bacteriological tests of uterine material were done. The influence of the independent variables (measurements) on the presence of intra-uterine contamination was analyzed through logistic regression, the effect of intra-uterine contamination on reproductive traits through analysis of variance, and the effect of independent variables (measurements) on reproductive traits was analyzed through multiple linear regression. The presence of intra-uterine contamination was not influenced by any variable. Staphylococcus sp. (29.6%) was the most important microorganism found in the uterine material, followed by Actinomyces pyogenes (26.0%), Streptococcus sp. (22.0%) and coliforms (22.0%). However, this contamination did not have negative effect on reproductive efficiency. The reproductive traits were influenced by some of the following anatomic variables: ilium opening (wider thurl then poorer reproductive efficiency), cervix front opening localization (the more abdominal, the poorer was the efficiency) and presence of urovagina (negative influence on conception rate).
