Abstract

Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) has the potential to increase the rates of genetic improvement in cattle. Thus this study was performed to investigate several factors influencing in vivo embryo production in Holstein cattle under field conditions. The donors were superovulated with Folltropin-V and $PGF_2{\alpha}$ combination method. From Day 10 onward, donors were superovulated by i.m., twice daily, administration of 400mg Folltropin-V given in a series of decreasing doses over a 4-day period: on the first day, 3.5ml; on the second day, 3.0ml; on the third day, 2.0ml; and on the fourth day, 1.5ml (20ml in total, equivalent to 400mg of NIH-FSH-P1). Estrus was induced by i.m. administration of 25mg prostaglandin $F_2{\alpha}$ on the sixth and seventh of FSH treatment. Estrus detection was performed twice daily beginning 24h after the first prostaglandin $F_2{\alpha}$ injection. Donor cows were artificially inseminated 12 and 24 h after first standing estrus with semen from a proven Holstein sire. Embryos used in this study were recovered Day 7.5 of the cycle (Day 0: first standing estrus). From 195 superovulated dairy cows, 2,104 eggs were recovered, of which 1,172 were classified as transferable embryos based on morphological evaluation of quality. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The numbers of recovered and transferable embryos did not significantly differ among the capacity of milk production that were < 10,000kg/305days (group 1), $10,000{\sim}12,000\;kg$/305days (group 2) or > 12,000kg/305 days (group 3) (p>0.05, Table 1). 2. No differences in the numbers of recovered and transferable embryos were found among the donor's postparient days (p>0.05, Table 2). 3. Also, the numbers of recovered and transferable embryos of each superovulation seasons did not significantly differ among the four groups (p>0.05, Table 3).

본 연구는 고능력 유우 공란우의 이용 효율을 극대화하기 위하여 체내 수정란 생산을 위한 다배란 처리의 결과에 미치는 요인을 분석하여 안정적이고 효율적인 다배란 처리 방법을 제시하기 위한 목적으로 실시하였다. 공란우의 다배란 처리는 발정 주기 $10{\sim}13$일째 POLLTROPIN-V(Vetrepharm, Canada) 400mg NIH-FSH-P를 4일간 12시간 간격으로 감량법에 따라서 주사를 하였다. 호르몬 주사 6, 7회 째 황체 융해 및 발정 유도를 위하여 $PGF_2{\alpha}$(Estron, Czech Republic)를 근육 주사하였으며, 승가 허용 발정을 보인 공란우는 발정으로부터 12h, 24h에 2회 인공수정을 실시하였다. 수정란 회수는 발정으로부터 7.5일에 실시하여 전체 회수 수정란 중에서 이식가능 수정란을 구별하였다. 실험의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1 유생 산량에 따른 회수 수정란 수와 이식 가능 수정란 수는 각 군간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 분만 후 경과 일수에 따른 회수 수정란 수와 이식 가능 수정란 수는 분만 후 $61{\sim}90$일이나 $121{\sim}150$일 사이에 채란을 실시한 경우가 분만 후 $91{\sim}120$일 혹은 151일 이상에서 채란한 경우보다 낮았으나 군간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 3. 계절에 따른 회수 수정란 수와 이식 가능 수정란 수는 다른 계절과 비교하여 여름철에 가장 낮았으나 계절에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 이상의 결과로 보아 고능력 유우 공란우를 다배란 처리 할 때는 유생산량이나 분만 후 경과 일수 혹은 계절에 관계없이 채란을 실시할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.
