This study was conducted to investigate the effects of repetition usage of various estrus synchronization and seasonal breeding in Hanwoo. Body weight(kg) at birth and weaning in calves produced by seasonal breeding are 24.0kg, 75.6kg in female, 24.9kg, 78.3kg in male, respectively. Changes of birth weight(kg) by parity in Hanwoo increased gradually. Raising rates of calves by raising experience of farmer higher than in more 10 years as $88.4\%$ and in more 6 years as $84.0\%$. Delivering rates by induced estrus methods in $PGF_{2}{\alpha}$, PRID, CIDR and $GnRH-PGF_{2}{\alpha}-GnRH$ were $87.0\%$, $87.3\%$, $91.6\%$ and $96.0\%$, respectively. Conception days of post-partum following to induced estrus methods in Control, $PGF_{2}{\alpha}$ PRID, CIDR and $GnRH-PGF_{2}{\alpha}-GnRH$ were 137.1, 147.6, 141.3, 116.6 and 118.0 days, respectively. The results show that repetition usage of various estrus synchronization were not effective on postpartum reproduction in Hanwoo.

This study was performed to investigate the possibility of repeated superovulation treatment at interval from 27 days to 41 days in Hanwoo cattle and to compare with superovulation effect between doses of FSH 200 mg and FSH 400 mg. Different doses of FSH (200 mg or 400 mg) were injected at Day 8 after controlled internal drug release (CIDR) treatment for superovulation of Hanwoo donors following CIDR treatment (Day 8 after the estrus). Superovulation was repeated four times for one donor and number of corpus luteum (CL), number of embryos, number of transferable embryos and pregnancy rate after embryo transfer (ET) were investigated. 5 cows were used for each FSH treatment (10 cows in total). Average number of CL were $10.16{\pm}3.85$ and $11.56{\pm}2.35$ for the donors treated with FSH 200mg and FSH 400mg, respectively. Average number of embryos collected were $8.85{\pm}4.05$ and $8.30{\pm}1.73$ for the donors treated with FSH 200 mg and FSH 400 mg, respectively. Average number of transferable embryos were $5.48{\pm}2.45$ and $4.58{\pm}2.23$ for the donors treated with FSH 200 mg and FSH 400 mg, respectively. The pregnancy rate following ET with embryos collected from 200 mg FSH treated donors and 400 mg FSH treated donors were 61.9% and 53.8% respectively. The numbers of embryos tended to be decreased as the numbers of repeat of superovulation were elapsed. These results indicated that superovulation treatment by about a month to Hanwoo donors is usable and 200 mg of FSH is preferable for simple FSH treatment following CIDR treatment.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the change in the blood progesterone (P4) and estrogen (E2) levels when applying different estrus induction protocols to Korean black goats, and this was done to gain understanding about their reproduction physiology. For the experiment, we performed three estrus induction protocols that are commonly used in bovine: controlled internal drug release (CIDR) + prostaglandin $F2{\alpha}$ ($PGF2{\alpha}$), $PGF2{\alpha}$ + gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) + $PGF2{\alpha}$, and CIDR + $PGF2{\alpha}$ + PMSG. The P4 and E2 concentrations showed different patterns until the last treatment of the three protocols. However, similar concentration patterns were shown after the last treatment in all the protocols. In conclusion, we monitored the blood P4 and E2 levels in Korean black goats following three different estrus induction protocols. Our findings may be used in other breeding programs of Korean black goats, such as artificial insemination and embryo transfer.

Eight female Himalayan tahrs (Hemitragus jemlahicus) were estrus-synchronized, and transcervically inseminated with frozen-thawed semen in September, 2009, about 2 to 3 months earlier than their natural breeding season. Intravaginal progesterone-releasing devices were inserted into vaginas of six Himalayan tahrs on September 7, and the other two on September 8 to suppress luteal function of ovaries. The devices had been placed deep inside the vagina prior to withdrawal on September 23. A day before CIDR removal, a combination of PMSG 400 IU and hCG 200 IU was intramuscularly injected. Forty hours later, frozen-thawed semen was transcervically inseminated. Pregnancy diagnosis was performed 39 days later by analyzing progesterone level of serum. Every treatment was done under anesthesia inducted by xylazine injection. In conclusion, vaginal discharge of cervical mucus, hormonal changes induced by implant-typed or muscularly injectable hormones and widening of cervix enough to insert an insemination gun into uterine body were achieved in non-breeding season. Moreover, the first inseminated Himalayan tahr, 36 hours after CIDR removal was assumed to be pregnant but the fetus may have been lost due to the use of anesthetic drug.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of parity and season on the embryo production in superovulated Hanwoo cows. Superovulation was performed from 1 to 8 times by repeated superovulation treatment of Hanwoo cows (n = 22). Irrespective of estrous cycle, donor cows were received a CIDR, progesterone (50 mg) and estradiol benzoate (2.5 mg). After 4.5 days, the donor cows were superovulated with total 28AU FSH (Antorin R-10) administrated twice daily in a decreasing dose for 4 days. On $6^{th}$ and $7^{th}$ of FSH injection, 2.5 mg and 15 mg $PGF_2{\alpha}$ were injected i.m, respectively. CIDR was removed at the $7^{th}$ FSH injection. The donor cows received $200{\mu}g$GnRH at 48 hrs after $1^{st}$ $PGF_2{\alpha}$ injection. The donor cows were artificially inseminated three times after estrous detection at 12 hr intervals and embryos were recovered 7 days after estrous detection. The mean number of total ova, transferrable embryos, degenerated embryos and unfertilized oocytes were $11.6{\pm}7.9$, $5.5{\pm}4.4$, $3.0{\pm}3.3$ and $2.6{\pm}4.1$ per donor cows, respectively. A higher number of total ova were recovered in parity 3~5 ($14.3{\pm}1.3$) than 1~2 ($8.9{\pm}1.9$, P<0.05). The number of recovered normal embryos is significantly higher in parity 3~5 ($7.3{\pm}0.8$) than that of over 6 ($3.7{\pm}1.5$). Significantly higher number of total ova and normal embryos were recovered in summer ($16.4{\pm}2.3$, $8.1{\pm}1.4$) than in autumn ($10.1{\pm}1.8$, $4.5{\pm}1.1$) and winter ($6.3{\pm}1.8$, $3.3{\pm}1.1$), respectively (P<0.05). Transferable embryos were significantly higher in summer ($7.6{\pm}1.3$) than in winter ($3.0{\pm}1.0$, P< 0.05). The results were showed that parity and season affecting on the production of embryos in superovulated Hanwoo.

본 연구는 한우와 홀스타인 젖소에서 연속적인 다배란 처리 시 효율성 및 부작용에 대한 문제점을 연구하고자 다른 종간 다배란 처리효과를 비교, 조사하였다. 연속적인 다배란 처리를 위하여 estradiol benzoate(EB)와 CIDR plus, FSH 호르몬을 이용하여 한우에서는 17두, 젖소에서는 9두를 2회 이상 반복 이용하였다. 다난포 발생을 위해서는 FSH 호르몬을 이용하고 호르몬 처리 동기화를 위해서는 CER plus 기구를 질 내 삽입하였으며, 주요 조사 항목으로는 번식기관의 문제점, 배란 효율, 회수된 수정란 수, 우수 수정란 수 등을 분류하고, 종합적으로 종간 연속적인 다배란 효과를 비교, 조사하였다. 한우에서는 17두 중 4두(23.5%)에서 자궁경관의 협착이 발생하였고, 자궁 내에 손상이 발생하여 채란이 되지 않는 경우도 4두(23.5%)의 발생이 조사되었으나, 상대적으로 젖소에서는 9두 중 4두에서 일시적으로 배란이 전혀 일어나지 않는 경우가 있었다. 연속 처리 후 채란된 수정란의 수를 종합해 보면, 젖소에서는 평균 $4.3{\pm}3.4$개, 한우에서는 $2.7{\pm}2.5$개였으며, 종간 호르몬 효율과 연관된 배란율 조사에서는 한우에서는 89.7%, 젖소에서는 80.4%의 성적을 보였다. 또한, 3회까지 연속 다배란 처리를 한 결과, 한우나 젖소에서 채란된 수정란의 수는 비슷한 수준으로 채란되었다. 이와 같은 성적을 종합해 볼 때 EB제나 CIDR plus, FSH를 이용하여 1개월 주기로 연속적인 수정란 채란을 위한 다배란 처리가 소의 종에 무관하게 가능하다고 사료되지만 일시적으로 배란이 일어나지 않는 소에 대한 문제나 번식기관의 손상, 채란되는 수정란의 수가 적다는 것에 더 많은 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

This study was performed to investigate the FSH levels for superovulation procedure in Korean Native Cattle (Hanwoo). The effectiveness of 200 mg and 400 mg of FSH to initiate superovulation was examined in Hanwoo. Donors, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR 7 days later, 200 mg FSH group was treated with 40, 30, 20, 10 mg FSH levels in declining doses twice daily by intramuscular injection fur 4 days. Also, 400 mg FSH group was treated with 80, 60, 40, 20 mg FSH levels. On the 3rd day administration of FSH, 25 mg $PGF_2$ ${\alpha}$ was administered and CIDR was withdrawn. Donors were artificially inseminated twice at 12 hr intervals. The donor cattle received 250 ${\mu}g$ GnRH at time of 1st insemination and embryos were recovered 8 days after the 1st insemination. As a results, average number of CL treated with FSH 200 mg was higher as $20.9{\pm}1.20$ than $15.8{\pm}0.63$ for donors treated with FSH 400 mg, respectively(p<0.05). Treated group of 200 mg FSH level increased (p<0.05) the number of embryos recovered per procedure compared to 400 mg FSH level ($18.2{\pm}1.18$ vs. $12.38{\pm}0.52$, respectively). When treatment of 200 mg FSH was performed, average transferable embryos/ova increased (p<0.05) to $14.1{\pm}1.12$ from $6.8{\pm}0.33$ of treated of 400 mg FSH. Group of 200 mg FSH increased (p<0.05) to $8.3{\pm}0.76$ from $2.0{\pm}0.26$ in morula stage compare to 400 mg FSH group. Mean of total early blastocyst and expanded blastocyst stage embryos was similar (p<0.05) between the 200 mg and 400 mg FSH levels group ($4.7{\pm}1.19$ vs. $2.9{\pm}0.18$ and $1.2{\pm}0.40$ vs. $1.9{\pm}0.17$). These results suggest that 200 mg FSH level-based superovulation protocol with CIDR may be effectively used fur production of superior embryos in Hanwoo. In other words, the less level of FSH may be effectively applied for Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle), because Hanwoo was smaller body size than beef or daily cow.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between body weight, body condition score (BCS), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glucose, cholesterol and number of transferable embryos for the purpose of improving reproductive performance in Hanwoo donors. Seventy five cows, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR together with injection of 1mg estradiol benzoate and 50 mg progesterone, and gonadotropin treatment begann. Four days later, the animals were superovulated with a total of 28AU FSH (Antorin, 2AU = 1 ml) administered twice daily in constant doses over 4 days. On the 3rd administration of FSH, CIDR was withdrawn and 25 mg $PGF_2{\alpha}$ was administered. Cows were artificially inseminated twice after estrous detection at 12 hr intervals. The cows received $100{\mu}g$ GnRH at the time of 1st insemination. Embryos were recovered 7 days after the 1st insemination. In conclusion, cows with body weight < 400, 400~450 and > 450kg had number of transferable embryos of $4.2{\pm}1.7$, $6.1{\pm}2.7$ and $4.8{\pm}2.6$, cows with BCS <2.25, 2.25~2.75 and ${\geq}2.75$ had number of transferable embryos of $4.6{\pm}1.6$, $5.7{\pm}2.4$ and $5.1{\pm}2.7$ respectively. These data indicate that a body weight and BCS for superovulation of CIDR-treated Korean native cows does not affect the embryo yield.
