Ovarian cyclicity Flashcards
(98 cards)
Ovarian cyclicity of cow
non-seasonal, spontaneous ovulator, 60-65 percent RO
Estrus cycle days of cow and heifer?
21-cow; 20 heifer
Proestrus of cows in days?
2 days
estrus of cows in days?
18 hrs (12-24) shortest among domestic animals
ovulation of cows in days?
10-16 hrs
metestrus of cows in days?
2 days
Diestrus of cows and heifer in days?
16- cow; 15 heifer
Signs of heat of estrus in cow
restlessness, decrease appetitis, mount other cow, sniff and lick the perineum of cow, swollen and congested vulva, stand still to be mounted, vulva mucus (ropy clear mucus from the vulva, dried on the flanks)
heat detection aid in cow
chalk, kamar heat mount, heat watch
where does chalk applied? How it detects estrus?
applied on the tail between the hip bone to vertical descent of tail; if the animals is in estrus, males will be mounting that hence the talk will spread in the flank area
explain kamar
place of the flank region, when the animal is in heat and the male tried to mount them, the dye inside the device will pop and the red dye will spread (the higher the spread the near it is to the estrus)
explain heat watch
the patch transmitter will be placed in the upper tail region, when the male mounts the female, the device will detect it
Ovarian cyclicity of bitch
seasonal monoestrus, spontaneous ovulator
Estrus cycle days of bitch?
2-3 times per year
Proestrus of bitch in days?
5-9 days (longest)
estrus of bitch in days?
7-9 days
ovulation of bitch in days?
3 days after the onset of estrus
metestrus of bitch in days?
2 days
Diestrus of bitch in days?
variable
explain the hormonal changes during estrous cycle
estrogen: high to decreasing as the estrus is near, responsible for the clinical signs of estrus; LH surge at the day of ovulation, CL is produced hence progesterone is increase (peak at diestrus stage); if pregnant it will be maintain if not increase PGF2a- luteolysis
Changes in the vulva
swollen and enlarged, presence of bloody discharged from vulva (during the proestrus and estrus stage)
Changes in behavior of the dog during cycle
aggressive towards male in, passive (increasing level), estrus: very recepto to the animals ensuring copulation
breeding sound examination
Clinical and breeding history, PE, Vaginoscopy and vaginal cytology- since changes in the epithelium of the vagina of dogs hence it is reliable to check for the stage of estrus for breeding
how to do vaginal cytology
open the vagina using speculum, swab the vaginal wall in rotating manner, roll the swab in the slide, stain it with hemaquick
