Resumo: | This study aimed to establish the relationship between antral follicle count (AFC), the time of puberty, and ovarian response in Nelore heifers subjected to timed-AI (TAI) protocols. Prepubescent Nelore heifers (Bos indicus; n = 30) were examined by transrectal ultrasound and videos of the ovaries were recorded for later CFA (≥ 3 mm). After AFC, heifers were divided into 2 groups, low and high AFC and then further ultrasonic ovarian assessments were performed to determine the onset of puberty. Once puberty was established in all heifers, they were submitted to an FTAI protocol. There were no differences (P > 0.1) between groups on the time of puberty, ovulation rate, the proportion of heifers that expressed estrus, and on preovulatory follicle diameter. However, heifers with low AFC had a smaller ovarian area in the prepubertal period (4.36 ± 0.3 vs. 5.65 ± 0.2 cm2) and, in the FTAI, they had the moment of estrus (48 ± 0.0 vs. 58.5 ± 3.1 h) and earlier ovulation (60 ± 1.8 vs. 72.6 ± 4.7 h) compared to heifers with high AFC (P < 0.05). In addition, heifers in the low AFC group had a higher (P = 0.05) pregnancy per AI (76.9%, 10/13) than the high AFC group (29.4%, 5/17). In this study, heifers with low AFC had the moment of ovulation anticipated and greater pregnancy per AI compared to heifers with high AFC. |

Novillas Nelore prepubescentes (Bos indicus; n = 30) fueron examinadas mediante ultrasonido transrectal y se grabaron videos de los ovarios para posterior CFA (≥ 3 mm). Después de AFC, las vaquillas se dividieron en 2 grupos, AFC bajo y entonces se realizaron evaluaciones de ovario para determinar el inicio de la pubertad. Una vez establecida la pubertad, las vaquillas fueron sometidas a un protocolo FTAI. No hubo diferencias (P > 0.1) entre los grupos en el momento de la pubertad, la tasa de ovulación, la proporción de vaquillas que expresaron celo y el diámetro del folículo preovulatorio. Sin embargo, las vaquillas con AFC bajo tuvieron menor área ovárica en el período prepuberal (4,36 ± 0,3 x 5,65 ± 0,2 cm2) y, en el IATF, tuvieron el momento del estro (48 ± 0,0 x 58,5 ± 3,1 h) y ovulación más temprana (60 ± 1,8 x 72,6 ± 4,7 h) en comparación con novillas con AFC alto (P < 0,05). Además, las vaquillas en el grupo de AFC bajo tuvieron una tasa de preñez más alta (P = 0.05) (76.9 %, 10/13) que el grupo de AFC alto (29.4 %, 5/17). Las vaquillas con AFC bajo tuvieron el momento de ovulación anticipado y mayor preñez por IA en comparación con las vaquillas con AFC alto.O objetivo deste estudo foi estabelecer a relação entre contagem de folículos antrais (CFA), idade à puberdade e resposta ovariana em novilhas Nelore submetidas a protocolos de Inseminação Artificial em Tempo Fixo (IATF). Novilhas Nelore pré-púberes (Bos indicus; n = 30) foram avaliadas por ultrassonografia transretal e vídeos dos ovários foram gravados para posterior CFA. Após a CFA, as novilhas foram divididas em 2 grupos, CFA baixa e alta e então avaliações ultrassonográficas dos ovários foram realizadas para determinar a puberdade. Uma vez estabelecida a puberdade em todas as novilhas, elas foram submetidas a protocolo de IATF. Não houve diferenças (P > 0,1) entre os grupos na idade à puberdade, na taxa de ovulação, na proporção de novilhas que expressaram estro e no diâmetro do folículo pré-ovulatório. No entanto, novilhas com baixa CFA apresentaram menor área ovariana no período pré-púbere (4,36 ± 0,3 vs. 5,65 ± 0,2 cm2) e, na IATF, tiveram o momento do estro (48 ± 0,0 x 58,5 ± 3,1 h) e ovulação antecipados (60 ± 1,8 vs. 72,6 ± 4,7 h) em comparação com novilhas com alta CFA (P < 0,05). Além disso, as novilhas do grupo de baixa CFA apresentaram maior (P = 0,05) prenhez por IA (76,9%, 10/13) que o grupo de alta CFA (29,4%, 5/17). Nesse estudo, novilhas com baixa CFA tiveram o momento da ovulação antecipado e maior prenhez por IA em comparação com novilhas com alta CFA.Research, Society and Development2022-04-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2857610.33448/rsd-v11i6.28576Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 6; e1211628576Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 6; e1211628576Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 6; e12116285762525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/28576/24923Copyright (c) 2022 Jair Sábio de Oliveira Júnior; George Moreira da Silva; Elizângela Mírian Moreira; Jéssica Souza Andrade; Vanessa Rachele Ribeiro Nunes; Fábio Morotti; Evelyn Rabelo Andrade; Marcelo Marcondes Seneda; Luiz Francisco Machado Pfeiferhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira Júnior, Jair Sábio deSilva, George Moreira daMoreira, Elizângela MírianAndrade, Jéssica SouzaNunes, Vanessa Rachele RibeiroMorotti, FábioAndrade, Evelyn RabeloSeneda, Marcelo MarcondesPfeifer, Luiz Francisco Machado2022-05-13T18:04:10Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/28576Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:45:55.599173Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
