Thus, the The use of Norgestomet implants inserted subcutaneously in the back of the ear has been reported to improve fertility in ewes (Castilho et al., 2007; Awel et al., 2009; Garoussi et al., 2012; Santos and Barcelos, 2012; Dogan et al., 2018). However, the use of commercial doses of Norgestomet in ewes is still in the incipient stages compared with the use of other devices, and further studies are necessary to evaluate its effects on animal reproduction. Half and entire Norgestomet ear implants were equally efficient to synchronize and induce estrus in ewes during natural anestrous (Dogan et al., 2018). Nevertheless, there is no study about estrus induction using less than a half ear implant. aSearching third of thefor alternativecommercial methods Norgestomet that are implant both efficient, may be usedeffective, to increase and economically reproductive viable success is crucial in ewes for optimizing the results of reproductive management in ewes.

  • An End-To-End Workflow for Quantitative Screening of Multiclass, Multiresidue Veterinary Drugs in Meat Using the Agilent 6470 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS
    Application Note Food Testing & Agriculture An End-To-End Workflow for Quantitative Screening of Multiclass, Multiresidue Veterinary Drugs in Meat Using the Agilent 6470 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS Authors Abstract Siji Joseph, Aimei Zou, Chee A comprehensive LC/MS/MS workflow was developed for targeted screening or Sian Gan, Limian Zhao, and quantitation of 210 veterinary drug residues in animal muscle prepared for human Patrick Batoon consumption, with the intention to accelerate and simplify routine laboratory testing. Agilent Technologies, Inc. The workflow ranged from sample preparation through chromatographic separation, MS detection, data processing and analysis, and report generation. The workflow performance was evaluated using three muscle matrices—chicken, pork, and beef— and was assessed on two different Agilent triple quadrupole LC/MS models (an Agilent 6470 and a 6495C triple quadrupole LC/MS). A simple sample preparation protocol using Agilent Captiva EMR—Lipid cartridges provided efficient extraction and matrix cleanup. A single chromatographic method using Agilent InfinityLab Poroshell 120 EC-C18 columns with a 13-minute method delivered acceptable separation and retention time distribution across the elution window for reliable triple quadrupole detection and data analysis. Workflow performance was evaluated based on evaluation of limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), calibration curve linearity, accuracy, precision, and recovery, using matrix-matched spike samples for a range from 0.1 to 100 μg/L. Calibration curves were plotted from LOQ to 100 μg/L, where all analytes demonstrated linearity R2 >0.99. Instrument method accuracy values were within 73 to 113%. Target analytes response and retention time %RSD values were ≤19% and ≤0.28% respectively.

    Proceedings, Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle January 28-29, 2010; San Antonio, TX WHERE WE HAVE BEEN AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY: HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROTOCOLS FOR BREEDING MANAGEMENT OF CATTLE THROUGH SYNCHRONIZATION OF ESTRUS AND OVULATION J. W. Lauderdale Lauderdale Enterprises, Inc. Augusta, MI 49012 Introduction Reproductive efficiency is one of the most important factors for successful cow-calf enterprises. Certainly, in the absence or reproduction, there is no cow-calf enterprise. During the 1950s frozen bovine semen was developed and AI with progeny tested bulls became recognized as effective to make more rapid genetic progress for milk yield and beef production. During the interval 1950s through 1960s, a major detriment to AI in beef cattle was the requirement for daily estrus detection and AI over 60 to 90 days or more. Therefore, with the availability of artificial insemination, further control of estrus and breeding management was of greater interest and value, especially to the beef producer. Additional publications, not addressed herein, provide reviews of the development of cattle estrus and breeding management (Wiltbank, 1970; Wiltbank, 1974; Odde, 1990; Mapletoft et al., 2003; Patterson et al., 2003a; Kojima, 2003; Kesler, 2003; Patterson et al., 2003b; Chenault et al., 2003; Stevenson et al., 2003; Lamb et al., 2003). Early research on the estrous cycle Research to understand estrus and estrous cycles was initiated in the United States by Dr. Fred F. McKenzie and his graduate students at the University of Missouri in the 1920s using sheep. McKenzie (1983) began leading an animal research laboratory at the University of Missouri in 1923.

Real level of progestagen on sponges was checked prior to sponges insertion. 13 cyclic goats were intravaginally treated with MAP-impregnated pessaries for the synchronization of estrus. After 14 days treatment, sponges were removed. 48 hours post-withdrawal, goats which exhibited estrus were artificially inseminated. Residual levels of MAP on removed sponges were measured by spectrophotometry at 241 nM. and examined in relation to their fertility. The real dose of MAP was in average 62 mg + 2 mg. High levels (x = 32,46 mg + 9,84 mg) of residual MAP were found on sponges following treatment. The percentage of estrus synchronization was 92,31% and the pregnancy rate was 69,23%. Pregnant goats had significantly higher (p< 0,01) residual amounts of hormone (x = 35,56 mg + 6,06mg) remaining on sponges than non-pregnant goats (x = 20,00 mg ± 10,58 mg).
