Plasma steroid profiles and ovarian response in llamas treated with eCG for superovulation combined with exogenous progesterone during early luteal phase

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of plasma progesterone (P4) concentrations during eCG-ovarian follicular superstimulatory treatment performed in early luteal phase and estradiol concentrations during peri-ovulatory period on ovarian response, number and embryo quality. On Day...

description The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of plasma progesterone (P4) concentrations during eCG-ovarian follicular superstimulatory treatment performed in early luteal phase and estradiol concentrations during peri-ovulatory period on ovarian response, number and embryo quality. On Day -2, females (n = 75) having a follicle ≥7 mm were treated with GnRH to induce ovulation. On Day 0, females that had ovulations (n = 54) were treated with 1000 IU eCG and were assigned to one of two treatments: (1) intravaginal device (ID) containing 0.5 g P4 (P4 group) and (2) no ID (Control group). On Day 5, females were administered PGF2α and the ID was removed. On Day 7 and 8, females were mated and embryo recovery was performed 7 or 8 days later. Blood samples were collected from Day 0 to 9. Number (± SD) of follicles ≥7 mm on day of mating was greater (P =  0.04) in the control (9.7 ± 4.2) than P4-treated (6.7 ± 4.9) group; number of corpora lutea did not differ (5.5 ± 3.1 and 5.2 ± 3.4 respectively). Ovulation rate was greater (P <  0.01) in the P4-group (77.4%; 130/168) than control group (53.3%; 135/253). Number of embryos with an excellent grade (grade 1) tended to be greater (P =  0.07) in the P4-group (82.4%; 42/51) than control group (65.4%; 36/55). It was concluded that supplementation with exogenous P4 during eCG treatment in early luteal phase inhibits excessive follicular growth, increases ovulation rate and improves embryo quality.
