This objective of this experiment were to evaluate the effect of various estrus synchronization programs on estrus detection rate and pregnancy rate in Hanwoo. After Postpartum 60 Days, a total of 150 cows divided into 2 groups. Cows Group 1 were treated with one luteolytic dosage of PGF$_2$$\alpha$(25 mg, im; lutalyse. USA) on Day 0, and with a second dosage 14 d later; cows in Group 2 were treated with GnRH(l00 $\mu\textrm{g}$, im; Conceral. Korea) on Day 0, PGF$_2$$\alpha$ 7 d later, GnRH 2 d later, and then time-inseminated approximately 16 h after this second treatment with GnRH. Ovarian morphology was monitored cows by trans-rectal ultrasonography from 24 hr to 32 hrs after second GnRH injection. The result obtained summarized as follows: 1. Cows synchronization of estrus with GnRH+PGF$_2$$\alpha$+GnRH(Ov-synch) and PGF$_2$$\alpha$ were 91.3 and 40.0%, respectively. 2. Induced ovulation were 24 to 32hr after the second GnRH injection, but high induced ovulation was 28hr. 3. High conception rate were 24hr insemination after the second GnRH injection. 4. Conception rate with PGF$_2$$\alpha$, CIDR and GnRH treatment were 50.0, 36.0 and 76.9%, respectively.

Artificial insemination (AI) technology has widely applied in domestic animals including cattle for production and preservation of valuable animals. However, AI in goat was poorly studied. We here compared two different estrus synchronization methods, CIDR (controlled intravaginal drug release)+$PGF_2a$ and CIDR+PMSG, in Korean native goats. After treatment of CIDR+$PGF_2a$ or CIDR+PMSG for estrus synchronization, AI was applied to 38 recipients. Of 18 recipients treated with CIDR+$PGF_2a$, 4 recipients produced offsprings. However, no pregnancy was obtained in 20 recipients treated with CIDR+PMSG. Especially, after treatment of CIDR+$PGF_2a$, AI with fresh or frozen sperm showed markedly higher parturition rates than that of CIDR+PMSG. From these results, we suggest that combination of CIDR and $PGF_2a$ could be used as good method for estrus synchronization in Korean native goats.

This study was carried out to get a fundamental information fur improvement of reproductive performance in gilt. We investigated the effects of breeds on body weight, age, body length, wither's height, girth and backfat thickness, and the serum concentrations of estradiol-17$\beta$, cortisol and progesterone at first estrus and mating of gilts. A total of 47 gilts of Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire, produced at Livestock Experiment Station, Chungnam Livestock Sanitation Research Institute from 2000 through 2002, were used for this experiment. Body weight, age and girth of Duroc at first estrus and mating were higher than those of Landrace and Yorkshire. There were no differences on body length among the three breeds at first estrus and mating. Wither's height of Duroc and Yorkshire at first estrus and mating was higher than that of Landrace. Backfat thickness of Yorkshire was thinnest among the three breeds at first estrus, but there were no differences on backfat thickness among the three breeds at first mating. Serum estradiol-17$\beta$ concentration of Landrace (45.0 pg/ml) at first estrus was higher than that of Yorkshire (27.4 pg/ml) and Duroc (21.8 pg/ml), but there were no differences on estradiol-17$\beta$ concentration (from 18.5 to 31.9 pg/ml) among the three breeds at first mating. Serum cortisol concentration of Duroc at first estrus and mating was higher than that of Landrace and Yorkshire. There were no differences on serum progesterone concentration among the three breeds at first estrus and mating of gilt.

These studies were performed to improve the reproductive efficiency of gilts and we investigated the effects of nursing periods after parturition and backfat thickness will adapt to these results for early selection of excellent gilts. The main results were as follows; 1. The backfat thickness in sows nursing for 17∼21 days was 19.19 mm, and 16.52 mm in 22∼26 days and longer nursing period affected significantly the backfat thinner (p<0.01). 2. The recurrence of estrus in sows nursing for 17∼21 days was 5.76 day and 5.62 day in 22∼26 days and there was no difference between nursing periods. 3. The recurrence of estrus in sows had 13∼16 mm backfat thickness was 5.69 day, 5.67 day in 17∼20 mm and 5.75 day in 21∼23 mm and there was no difference among backfat thickness. 4. The concentration of plasma estradiol were 28.49 pg/$m\ell$ in parturition, 12.39 pg/$m\ell$ in weaning and 16.52 pg/$m\ell$ in return of estrous. The concentration ot plasma progesterone were 1.50 ng/$m\ell$ in parturition, 0.69 ng/$m\ell$ in weaning and 0.94 ng/$m\ell$ in return of estrous. The concentration of plasma cortisol were 57.74 ng/$m\ell$ in parturition, 43.01 ng/$m\ell$ in weaning and 47.89 ng/$m\ell$ in return of estrous. There showed the highest level of estradiol, progesterone and cortisol in parturition.

본 실험은 4 일간의 성주기가 뚜렷한 성체인 golden hamster로부터 미성숙인 난자를 적출하여 화학적배양액내에서 그의 성숙을 유도시키고 성주기에 따른 미성숙 난자의 성렬율을 관찰하는 것을 주요 목적으로 하여 행하여졌다. 한 개의 난소로부터 5-6개의 미성숙 난자를 적출하여 5% bovine serum albumin이 섞인 TC Medium 199에 넣어서$CO_2$-incubator를 이용하여 6 시간내지 24시간 동안 37$^{\circ}C$를 유지해가며, 배양액이 직접 공기와접촉하는 것을 막기 위해 유동성인 paraffin oil로 배양액을 덮고서 배양을 완수했다. 실험의 결과를 다음과 같이 완수했다. 1. Hamster의 난자의 성숙분렬을 유발시키는데 가장 적합한 배양액은 BMOC, Eagle's Medium , Waymouth's Medium 그리고 TC Medium 199의 네가지 가운데 TC Medium199이었다. 즉 이 배양액을 이용했을 때 난자가 높은 성렬도를 보여주었다. 2. 5% bovine serum alumn을 TC Medium 199에 섞어주었을 때 미성숙 난자가 성순분렬을 유기하는 율이 가장 높았다. 3. 발정기에 있는 난소로부터 얻은 난자가 가장 현저하게 높은 율로 성숙분렬을 보여주었다. 반대로 발정후기의 난자는 배양 시작 후 단시간 내에 대부분이 퇴화하였으며 발정기에 가까워 갈수록 퇴화율이 줄어들었다. 이것은 노포가 성숙분렬을 억제하는 물질을 생성하리라고 여겨지고 있긴 \ulcorner만, 동시에 이 노포는 또 한편 난자의 배란뒤에까지도 생명력을 유지할수 있는 능력을 발정기에 이르기까지의 기간동안 난자에게 부여하며, 난자는 이 능력을 배란전까지 축적하게 되며 이 때문에 노포로부터 유리되어 나온 난자가 장기간 그 생명력을 유지해나가는 것이라고 추정된다. 4. Paraffin oil 로 공기를 차단하여서 배양한 난자나 혹은 watch glass를 이용하여 공기와 접촉시킨 난자에서나 모든 비슷한 율로 성숙분렬을 보여주었다. 이로 보아 조작이 까다로운 paraffin oil을 이용하는 방법보다는 손쉽게 배양할 수 있는 watch glass 의 방법이 오히려 유용하다고 할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to establish the methods of ultrasound-guided transvaginal retrieval of oocytes (ovum pick-up) in Korean native, Hanwoo Heifers. To obtain the basic data about Hanwoo, the size of ovaries in luteal and follicular phases were measured and the number of follicles in ovaries during the estrus cycle was counted by using ultrasound. And to determine the effective anesthetic to Hanwoo, various mixture of anesthetic compounds, Rompun(equation omitted), lidocaine, Monzal(equation omitted), and Domosedan(equation omitted), were treated. The size of Hanwoo ovaries were not significant differently between luteal and follicular phases. The number of medium and small follicles were peak on day 3 and 12 of the estrous cycle, and this result suggested that Hanwoo has 2 follicular growth waves per estrus cycle. The most effective anesthetic method was intramuscular injection of a.3m! Rompun(equation omitted), epidural injection of 5$m\ell$ lidocaine and sprayed cervix by 2$m\ell$ lidocaine.
