Abstract

Recently a protocol was developed that precisely synchronizes the time of ovulation in Hanwoo. Cows were treated with GnRH on Day 0, PGF$_2$$\alpha$ 7 d later, GnRH 2 d later, and then time-inseminated approximately 24 h after this second treatment with GnRH. Ovarian morphology was monitored cows by trans-rectal ultrasonography 6.5MHz linear transrectal probe(Sonovet - 600., Medison co. Korea) from 24 hr to 31 hrs after second GnRH injection. The result obtained summarized as follows - 1. Induced ovulation were 24 to 31hr after the second GnRH injection, but high induced ovulation was 28hr. 2. Conception rate with HML(High meat lin) and HIL(High milk lin) treatment were 48.1%(38/79) and 43.9%(40/91), respectively. 3. Conception rate of 1∼2 parity and 3∼4 parity was 44.3% and 55%, respectively. 4. Conception rate of spring, autumn was more increased, 47.3% than summer.

본 연구는 한우에 GnRH + PGF$_2$$\alpha$+GnRH (Ov-synch)를 처리하여 배란동기화를 시켰으며, 2차 GnRH 투여후 배란시간, 수태율, 계절별 수태율, 산차별 수태율을 조사하였으며, 시험축은 2산 이상의 개체를 무작위로 선발하여 실험에 공시하였으며, 배란동기화 처리후 1회 인공수정을 실시하고 수태율을 환산하였다. 호르몬 처리방법으로는 GnRH + PGF$_2$$\alpha$ + Gn-RH(Ov-synch)법을 이용하였으며, 배란시간의 조사는 초음파를 이용하여 2차 GnRH 투여 후 24시간부터 31시간까지 2시간 간격으로 난소를 촬영하여 배란 여부를 조사하였다. 1. 배란동기화 처리후 24시간부터 31시간까지 2시간 간격으로 난소의 상태를 확인한 결과 28∼30시간 사이에 80%(20/25)로 가장 많이 배란된 것으로 나타났다. 2. 수태율에 있어서는 계통별 1회 수정 수태율은 고급육 계통이 48.1%(38/79)로 다소 높게 나타났다. 3. 산차에 따른 수태율은 1∼2, 3∼4산차에서 각각 44.3, 55%로 나타났다. 4. 계절별로는 여름보다는 봄과 가을에서 47.3%로 다소 높은 경향이였다.
