Resumo

This study evaluated the follicular dynamics and the pregnancy rates of Nelore cows with or without a CL synchronized with FTAI employing injectable progesterone (P4). Multiparous cows (n=44), 45-65 days postpartum were allocated into a 2x2 factorial. Eleven cows with and 11 without a CL received a conventional protocol of FTAI (D0/1 g P4 + 2 mg EB; D8/500 ?g cloprostenol, 300 IU eCG and 24 h later 1 mg EB; D10/FTAI). Other 11 cows with and 11 without a CL received 350 mg of injectable P4 (300 mg sc and 50 mg im) and 2 mg of EB im on D0. On D6, 500 ?g of cloprostenol and 300 IU of eCG were administered im. After 24 h, 1 mg of EB was administered im and FTAI was performed on D8. The results were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey or by Chi-square test (p?0.05). The presence of follicles ? 5mm on D4, follicular growth rate and CL diameter were similar between groups (50-55%, 1.1-1.2mm/ day and 16.1-17.6mm; respectively). The diameter of the dominant follicle (DF) at FTAI and ovulatory follicle (OF) were similar between groups with CL (10.5±1.8 and 11.4±1.3mm, respectively) and without CL (10.8±2.3 and 11.1±2.2mm, respectively) but device was higher than injectable (11.7±2.0 and 11.8±1.7 vs. 9.7±1.7 and 10.6±2.0mm, respectively). The ovulation and pregnancy rate were similar between groups with CL (59% and 36%, respectively) and without CL (77% and 27%, respectively) but device was higher than injectable (91% and 45% vs. 45.5% and 18%; respectively). The ciclicity did not affect the follicular dynamics and pregnancy rate. The device showed higher diameter of the DF at FTAI, OF and ovulation and pregnancy rates. However, the injectable P4 produced similar percentages of follicles ? 5 mm on D4, follicular growth rate and CL diameter, raising the possibility of further investigation.
