The Red Sindhi zebu breed has excellent adaptability to adverse weather conditions and good management and ability to milk<br />

production. Although much research will be developed with these animals, studies of the reproductive traits are still scarce. Therefore, the<br />

objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of eCG on ovulation and conception rates of Red Sindhi cows during a treatment for<br />

synchronization of ovulation. Sixteen Red Sindhi cows with body condition score = 3.5 (scale of 1 to 5) were divided into two protocols for<br />

synchronization of ovulation. In protocol I, animals (n = 8) received on day 0 an intravaginal P4 device and an application of 2mg of estradiol<br />

benzoate (EB). On day 8, the device was removed and 10mg of Dinoprost (PGF2α) were applied, and on day 9, 1 mg of EB was applied, and<br />

the animals were fixed-time inseminated 24 h later; in protocol II, animals (n = 8) were submitted to the same treatment, and on day 8, 400 IU<br />

of eCG were applied. From day 0, all animals were evaluated daily by trans-rectal ultrasound device in order to monitor the follicular growth. The<br />

results were analyzed by ÷2 test, with significance level of 5%. It was observed that there was no statistical difference (P > 0.05) between<br />

protocols I and II concerning to ovulation rate, with 75% (6/8) and 100% (8/8), respectively. Regarding to conception rate, it was observed that<br />

there was statistical difference (P > 0.05) between protocols I and II (0% and 50%, respectively). The final conception rate in this study was low<br />

(25%), and this fact may be related to the high age of cows (average of 10 years old) and the long period in which they were no pregnant since<br />

they were being used as embryo donors. However, it can not conclude that treatment with eCG was efficient on the ovulation rate and conception<br />

rate in cows of Red Sindhi breed, once those are preliminary results, more research is needed on the reproductive physiology with a greater<br />

number of animals of this breed.<br />

The effect of the moment of TAI with sex-sorted sperm in embryo production of Nellore (Bos indicus) superovulated donors was<br />

evaluated. To this aim, 16 cycling donors were used, aged between 4 and 10 years, and postpartum around 40 days. The animals were sorted<br />

evenly into four groups, according to the moment of TAI (12 and 24 vs.. 18 and 30h after administration of pLH) and type of sperm used<br />

(conventional vs.. sex-sorted). The groups were sorted as follows: TAI with conventional sperm 12 and 24h (CSG12/24) and, 18 and 30h<br />

(CSG18/30); TAI with sex-sorted sperm 12 and 24h (SSG12/24) and, 18 and 30h (SSG18/30). The design was completely randomized, in a<br />

2x2 factorial scheme, with all the animals in their respective categories, submitted to all treatments (randomized cross-over) in a total of four<br />

replicates, with an interval of 42 days between replicates and 16 repetitions per treatment. Donors were synchronized with intravaginal<br />

progesterone device (P4) for 7 days. On the day of device insertion (D0) 2.0mg i.m. of Estradiol Benzoate were administered. From D4 to D7,<br />

all donors were treated with 8 decreasing doses of FSH (133mg i.m.; 12/12h). On D6, all animals received two PGF2α injections (0.53mg i.m.)<br />

after each FSH injection. At the last FSH dose (D7) the P4 device was removed and, donors received the pLH injection 12h later (25mg i.m.;<br />

D8). The embryonic structures were collected seven days after LHp injection (D15) and, embryos were quantified and classified according to<br />

morphology and quality (IETS, 1998). The variables were analyzed by Proc GLM procedure of SAS ® . In groups GSC12/24, GSC18/30,<br />

GSS12/24 and GSS18/30 were recovered, respectively: total of embryonic structures (2.9±1.1, 3.4±0.8, 2.6±1.2, 4.1±1.3); unfertilized oocytes<br />

(0.0±0.0, 0.1±0.1, 1.7±1.2, 0.4±0.2); transferable embryos (2.6±1.0, 2.7±0.7, 0.5±0.3, 2.2±1.0); freezable (2.4±1.0, 2.7±0.7, 0.5±0.3, 2.0±1.0)<br />

and degenerate (0.3±0.1, 0.7±0.4, 0.4±0.3, 1.5±0.8). There were no differences between groups (P > 0.05). As there was no interaction between<br />

treatments, it was possible to evaluate the main effects (type of sperm type and moment of insemination). As verified between groups, no<br />

difference was found for any of the analyzed variables between the main effects (P > 0.05). The results did not confirm the hypothesis that a delay<br />

in six hours on the FTAI with sex-sorted sperm in superovulation protocols results in increased production of viable embryos obtained from<br />

Nelore donors.<br />
