Association of the moet and opu-piv in the production of bovine embryos / Associação da moet e opu-piv na produção de embriões bovinos

ABSTRACT

It has been the aim to value, in Nelore cows, the association of the assisted reproduction MOET e OPU-PIV. For this, it has tested the ovarian superovulation (SOV) 48 to 60 h after the OPU (ovum pick-up) at a random phase of the estral cycle (OPU1) and the in vitro production (PIV) of recovered oocytes embryos (OPU2) in different moments after the prostaglandin F2? (PGF2?) application. The females (n=23) after the OPU1 received progestogen implant and 48 to 60 h after the OPU, then it has began the SOV, with FSH 180 mg / cows in 8 doses, for 4 days. In 6th and 7th applications of FSH, there were administered 500 µg of PGF2?  being the implants withdrawn in the 7th dose. After 12 h of the SOV, it was applied 25mg of LH to realize AI (artificial insemination) with fixed time. In the day of the embryos recovery 6 treatments were tested T (0-144) (n=4), T (48-120) (n=5), T (48-96) (n=4), T (72-96) (n=3), T (96-72) (n=4), T (96-48) (n=3) which varied in accordance with moments of the PGF2?  administration and of OPU2 after the SOV. The PGF2?  administration in the embryo recovery (day 0) 0, 48, 72 and 96 h after the harvest and the OPU2 was 144, 96, 72 or 48 hours after the PGF2?. There was significant difference (p> 0,05) in the oocyte number when the near OPU of the PGF2?  was recovered, so that the recuperation in T (96-48) was significantly less when (48-96) was compared to

RESUMO

Objetivou-se avaliar, em vacas da raça Nelore, a associação das biotécnicas MOET e OPU-PIV. Para tanto, foram testadas a superovulação ovariana (SOV), iniciada 48 a 60 horas após a aspiração folicular, em fase aleatória do ciclo estral (OPU1), e a produção in vitro (PIV) de embriões de oócitos aspirados (OPU2) em diferentes momentos após a aplicação de prostaglandina F2? (PGF2?). As fêmeas (n=23), após a OPU1, receberam implante de progestágeno, e 48 a 60 horas após a OPU iniciou-se a SOV convencional, acrescida da aplicação de 25 mg de LH exógeno para realizar a IA (inseminação artificial) com tempo fixo. No dia da colheita dos embriões, os animais foram separados para testar seis tratamentos, sendo os grupos T(0-144) (n=4), T(48-120) (n=5), T(48-96) (n=4), T(72-96) (n=3), T(96-72) (n=4), T(96-48) (n=3), que variaram de acordo com os momentos da administração de prostaglandina e da OPU2 após a SOV. Aplicou-se prostaglandina no dia da colheita (dia 0) 0, 48, 72 e 96 horas após, realizando-se a OPU2 144, 96, 72 ou 48 horas após a prostaglandina. Houve diferença (p
