Abstract

The PhD project aims to enhance studies on luteal regression in cattle. For this three researches will be conducted. Experiment 1: aim to evaluate LH effects on the rescue of P4 secretion after challenge with cloprostenol sodium at D7 of estrous cycle (D0=estrous). Caracu cows on D7 will bee submitted to the following treatments: Group 1 (G1): saline, G2: saline associate to GnRH antagonist (acyline), G3: 1/6 of cloprostenol conventional dose, G4: 1/6 of cloprostenol conventional dose after acycline administration, G5: cloprostenol conventional dose. From 12 to 20 hours after treatment blood samples will be collected every 1 hour to LH assays. Experiment 2: aim to evaluate CL sensibility to PGF2 subdoses at initial (D7) and medium (D12) phases. Caracu cows will be placed in the following groups: G1: saline D7, G2: saline D12, G3: 1/6 of cloprostenol conventional at D7, G4: 1/6 of cloprostenol conventional at D12. Experiment 3: aim to evaluate CL sensibility after intra uterine exposure of bovine Interferon Tau (IFNÄ). Caracu cows will be placed in two groups: G1: intra uterine infusions of IFNÄ from D9 to D12 following by PGF2± challenge at D12. G2 (control group): PGF2± challenge at D12. In all experiments immediately after treatments (0hour) and after this every 8 hours until 48hours (M48) the animals will be submitted to transrectal ultrassonographic evaluation at mod B (luteal volume) and Power Doppler (luteal blood perfusion). Blood samples will be collected for P4 assays. (AU)
