Abstract

Two trials were conducted in a commercial dairy on heifer synchronization with PGF$_2$$\alpha$. Animals showing estrous following the first injection were bred and animals not showing estrus were given the second injection 10 days later. In the first trial, the injection routes were rump and rump. In the second trial, the injection routes were rump and shoulder. Estrous detection were performed from 24 h after injection. Animals were bred by the same technician. In the first trial, the response rate for the first injection was 51.4% and the subsequent pregnancy rate of these animals was 60.0%. The response rate in the second injection was 57.1% and the pregnancy rate was 50.0%. In the second trial, the response rate in the first injection on the rump was 48.7% and the subsequent pregnancy rate was 70.6%. The second injection was given on the shoulder and the response rate was 60.0% and the subsequent pregnancy rate was 25.0%. The data suggest that the route of PGF$_2$$\alpha$ administration was critical to achieve success in estrous synchronization and pregnancy rates.

PGF$_2$$\alpha$의 투여부위가 젖소의 발정동기화율 및 그에 따른 수태율에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 하와이주의 대규모 농장에서 사육중인 미경산 젖소에 대하여 25mg Dinoprost trometamine을 투여한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 둔부(근육주사)-둔부(근육주사) 처리에 있어서 첫 번째 처리된 35두 중 18두 (51.4%)가 발정이 발현되었고 그중 9두가 수태되어 60.0%의 수태율을 나타내었다. 첫 번째 처리후 발정을 나타내지 않은 개체들에 대하여 10일후에 다시 둔부에 PGF$_2$$\alpha$를 처리한 결과 14두중 8두(57.1%)가 발정이 유기 되었고 그중 4두가 수태 되어 50.0%의 수태율을 나타내었다. 2. 둔부(근육주사)-어깨부위(피하주사) 처리에 있어서 첫 번째 처리된 39두중 19두 (48.7%)가 발정이 발현되었고 그중 12두가 수태되어 70.6%의 수태율을 나타내었다. 첫 번째 처리후 발정을 나타내지 않은 개체들에 대하여 10일후에 에께부위에 PGF$_2$$\alpha$를 처리한 결과 20두중 12두(60.0%)가 발정이 유기 되 었고 그중 3두가 수태되어 25.0%의 수태율을 나타내었다. 3. 둔부 처리의 경우 점액이 유출된 27두중 18두(66.7%)가 수태로 이어졌고 점액이 유출되지 않은 13두중 5두에서 수태로 이어졌다 어깨처리의 경우에는 점액이 유출된 2두중 1두(50.0%)가 수태로 이어졌고 점액이 유출되지 않은 10두중 1두(10.0%)만이 수태로 이어졌다.
