Resumo: | A neuroendocrine reflex attributed to the mechanical stimulation of sensory receptors during copulation induces ovulation in cats. This stimulation can be simulated with a vaginal swab, triggering pseudopregnancy. The efficiency of ovulation induction with swab was evaluated in order to establish a natural contraceptive treatment for domestic cats as well as to analyze the effect on uterus of the repeated use of this technique. At the first phase of the study, 12 animals were evaluated in three consecutive estrous cycles. In the first cycle (T1), vaginal swab stimulation was applied. In the second cycle (T2), a vasectomized male was used. In the third cycle (T3), ovulation was accompanied unstimulated (control). At the second phase of the study, 13 female cats were induced to successive pseudopregnancy states to check the effects on the uterus. Confirmation of ovulation in the two phases of the study was carried out by measuring progesterone serum levels. The vaginal swab stimulation showed a similar response to that obtained by natural mating (P>0.05). Some cats showed mild uterine changes without pathological relevance. Thus, ovulation induction with swab is secure and without significant side effects.Keywords: contraceptive; feline; oestrus; ovulation. |

OVULATION INDUCTION WITH VAGINAL SWAB IN DOMESTIC FEMALE CATS AND ITS EFFECTS ON UTERINE MORPHOLOGYINDUÇÃO DE OVULAÇÃO COM SWAB VAGINAL EM GATAS DOMÉSTICAS E SEUS EFEITOS SOBRE A MORFOLOGIA UTERINAAnimal ReproductionReprodução de gatasA neuroendocrine reflex attributed to the mechanical stimulation of sensory receptors during copulation induces ovulation in cats.

Esta estimulação pode ser simulada com auxílio do swab vaginal, desencadeando a pseudogestação. Objetivou-se verificar a eficiência da indução de ovulação com swab, a fim de estabelecer um tratamento contraceptivo natural para felinos domésticos, bem como os efeitos sobre o útero do uso repetido dessa técnica. Na primeira fase do trabalho, foram avaliados 12 animais em três ciclos estrais consecutivos. No primeiro ciclo (T1), houve estimulação vaginal com swab. No segundo ciclo (T2), foi utilizado macho vasectomizado para cópula. No último ciclo (T3), a ovulação foi acompanhada sem estímulo (controle). Na segunda etapa do trabalho, 13 gatas foram submetidas a sucessivos estados de pseudogestação com intuito de verificar os efeitos da estimulação mecânica sobre o útero. A confirmação da ovulação em todas as etapas do trabalho foi realizada por meio da mensuração dos níveis de progesterona. A estimulação vaginal com swab apresentou resposta similar à obtida por monta natural (P>0,05). Algumas gatas apresentaram modificações uterinas discretas; no entanto, nenhum desses achados foi considerado de relevância patológica. Desta forma, a indução de ovulação com swab mostrou-se segura e sem efeitos colaterais expressivos.Palavras-chave: contraceptivo; estro; felinos; ovulação.Universidade Federal de Goiás2017-09-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa científicaResearchapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/e-4384510.1590/cab18043845Brazilian Animal Science/ Ciência Animal Brasileira; Vol. 18 (2017): Continuous publicationCiência Animal Brasileira / Brazilian Animal Science; v. 18 (2017): Publicação contínua1809-68911518-2797reponame:Ciência animal brasileira (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)instacron:UFGporhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/e-43845/24327https://revistas.ufg.br/vet/article/view/e-43845/24328Copyright (c) 2017 Ciência Animal Brasileirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Sandra Cristina Beckerda Silva, Maíra CoronaSilva, Fabiana LessaSnoeck, Paola Pereira das Neves2023-06-07T18:48:26Zoai:ojs.revistas.ufg.br:article/43845Revistahttps://revistas.ufg.br/vetPUBhttps://revistas.ufg.br/vet/oai||revistacab@gmail.com1809-68911518-2797opendoar:2024-05-21T19:56:16.201965Ciência animal brasileira (Online) - Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG)true |
