Perfil da Inseminação artificial em tempo fixo, presença de muco e o status uterino correlacionado com a taxa de prenhez em vacas bubalinas no estado do Amapá / Profile of artificial insemination in fixed time, mucus and uterine status correlated with pregnancy rate in buffalo cows in Amapa state

The aim of this study was to correlate the profile of insemination, uterine status and the presence ofmucus on the day of insemination, with a pregnancy rate of buffalo cows in lowland area in the state of Amapá.This study was conducted at Fazenda general Moto LTDA., 148 km from the town of Macapa. The animals werekept in extensive grazing system. They used 48 animals received the following protocol: Day 0 (D0) to insert theintravaginal device P4 and 2.0 mg BE. At D9 was taken withdrawal of the device and application of 0.5 mg ofPGF2a and 400 IU eCG. In D11 was applied 0.004 mg GRnH and carried out insemination in D12, 64 hoursafter the withdrawal. The diagnosis of pregnancy was performed 30 days after artificial insemination. The datacollected from individual records were tabulated in spreadsheets. And evaluated in the SAS software (2000) 23buffaloes that had a positive pregnancy, 3 a bad AI profile, 18 a good AI profile and 2 excellent AI profile. 25cows got negative pregnancy, among them 4 demonstrated bad AI profile, 21 a good AI profile and no possessedexcellent AI profile. Regarding uterine Status- 46 animals (97.9%) had contracted uterus, however only 22(47.83%) animals were diagnosed with positive penhez. The variable presence of mucus, of 48 buffalos 21(43.75%) had such characteristics. The pregnancy rate was 22.9% (11) for the cows with mucus during theIATF. The variables profile of AI, mucus, uterine status, no positive influence on the pregnancy rate.(AU)

Indução a Maturidade Sexual e Taxa de Prenhez com Progesterona de 3° uso em Fêmeas Nelores de 22 meses / Induction of Sexual Maturity and Prenature Rate with Progesterone of 3rd use in Females Nelores of 22 months

The objective of this study was to evaluate if the progesterone device (P4) of 3rd use would be efficientto induce the cyclicity and consequent pregnancy rate in nelore heifers. We used 65 animals with a mean weightof 338 kg. All kept in the same environmental and handling conditions. The induction of estrus was performed in33 females with P4 implant of 3rd use, thus forming Group 1 (G1 = 33), those that did not receive the implantwere allocated in Group 2 (G2 = 32). Thirty-two days post-induction protocol was performed on all animals forTAI. The data collected were tabulated in electronic spreadsheets and evaluated in the SAS software (2010). TheTAI pregnancy rate was 21.21% (G1) (7/33) and 46.88% (15/32) for (G2) (P < 0.05). Thus suggesting that priorinduction to puberty with P4 device of 3rd use was not effective.(AU)

Taxa de prenhez em cabras da raça Saanen no nordeste do Pará submetidas à inseminação artificial em tempo fixo / Pregnancy rate in Saanen goats in northeast Pará submitted to artificial insemination in fixed time

Control of the estrous cycle through estrus synchronization protocols allows the producer to share lotsof females according to the management capacity and ownership of facilities easier handling and better use ofplayers. Therefore, the objective was to verify the influence of artificial insemination in fixed time (FTAI) withthe use of frozen semen in pregnancy rates of dairy goats. The study was conducted in the state of Pará, in themunicipality of Iguarapé-Acu, in a private property that is located in the northeastern region of Pará. 12 Saanengoats intended for milk production were used. Animals submitted to TAI with the use of six frozen semen becamepregnant, representing a pregnancy rate of 50%, which proved satisfactory results.(AU)

Was aimed at the application of reproductive technologies in goats is mainly limited to inability to crossthe long, narrow cervix, preventing intrauterine deposition of frozen semen Croy et al. (1999). The degree ofdifficulty in transposing the cervix may vary according to various factors such as individual effect, reproductivestage, postpartum interval, reproductive season, technical experience and other Husein et al. (1998). The studywas conducted in the state of Pará, in the municipality of Iguarapé-Acu, Pará northeast, at a private estate. Weused 12 Saanen goats intended for milk production, with ages ranging from 1 to 3 years, all identified withnumerical necklace and documented in animals individual. Os identification cards were created intensively withforage (Pennisetum purpureum) ground corn meal, water and mineral supplement will. The evaluation of thecervical opening degree was carried out by vaginal speculum.(AU)

Piometra de cérvix fechada em canina da raça Pinscher: Relato de Caso / Closed cervix Pyometra in a Pinscher: Case Report

The cystic endometrial hyperplasia pyometra complex, is a frequent and important endometrialdisorder in bitches, since it presents a risk to the lives of these animals. It tends to occur in middle-aged to olderbitches. This paper aims to report a case of closed pyometra in a Pinscher dog. On 29 of August of 2016, a fiveyear-oldPinscher dog weighing 5.7 kg was taken to the Veterinary Hospital of the Universidade Federal Ruralda Amazônia (HOVET / UFRA), due to an one year increase and decrease in abdominal region, but two monthsago it increased in size and did not regress. The animal was diagnosed by US and historical examination, withclosed pyometra. The animal recovered well postoperatively. It is important the knowledge about the animal'shistory and diagnosis by ultrasound imaging in order to conclude the diagnosis, and thus to perform quick andeffective surgical intervention.(AU)

Efeito do tratamento com dose reduzida do aglepristone em uma hiperplasia mamaria felina: Relato de caso / Effect of the treatment with low dose of aglepristone in a feline mammary hyperplasia: case report

Feline mammary hyperplasia (FMH) is a benign condition representing a disorder of body related tonatural or synthetic progestogen characterized by rapid cell growth of one or more mammary glands. Havingrapidly evolving and can cause serious systemic changes, it is necessary to use instant protocols, such as the useof aglepristone an antiprogestogen. This study aims to report a case of FMH with aglepristone-based therapy. Acat mongrel, with 9 months old, nulliparous, who received a contraceptive dose, showed an increase in thethoracic right mammary gland M1. The history and physical examination indicated the diagnosis of FMH. Thetherapy established was aglepristone in 3 doses (10mg / kg) every 24 hours. The result was total remission ofsymptoms. The use of aglepristone proved to be effective in the treatment of FMH even without castration.(AU)
