Q

Q

what is the CL lifespan in a human

A

12-14 days

21
Q

what are the 5 causes of manipulating estrus

A

grouping females for parturation
reducing/eliminating estrus detection
needed for artificial insemination
embryo transfer
schedule for male availability (in horses)

22
Q

what hormones help with time

A

PGF2a, GnRH, progestins

23
Q

what hormones help with superovulation

A

FSH, eCG

24
Q

when is PGF2a active for most animals? for swine?

A

on days 5-17
12-15

25
Q

what are used to increase PGF2a

A

lutalyse and estrumate

26
Q

what does GnRH do

A

induces ovulation if no CL is present
terminates the follicular wave if CL is present

27
Q

what removes the negative feedback for GnRH

A

inhibin and estradiol

28
Q

what increases GnRH

A

cysterelin, factrel, and fertagyl for cattle
sucromate for horses

29
Q

define progestins

A

stimulates a CL to provide progesterone
prevents ovulation

30
Q

does progestin affect CL

A

no

31
Q

when does progestin occur

A

2-5 days after ovulation, unless horses, which are 7-9 days after

32
Q

what increases progestins

A

injection, feed, implant, controlled internal drug release
regumate is used in equine and swine

33
Q

describe CIDR

A

used mostly in ruminants
causes vaginitis in horses

34
Q

what do eCG and FSH cause

A

superovulation

35
Q

define ovsynch

A

developed for cattle

36
Q

describe ovsynch

A

GnRH is given to restart the follicular wave
PGF2a is given a week later for luteolysis
2 days later, GnRH is given again and the dominant follicle ovulates
LH will surge afterwards and ovulation occurs

37
Q

what progestin is used in sheep? when does it work best? when does it work poorly?

A

CIDR
in season it works alone
out of season must add eCG

38
Q

how does prostaglandin work in sheep

A

only when sheep are in season

39
Q

what type of light do sheep need

A

decreased day length

40
Q

what other supplements can sheep be given

A

melatonin (oral or IM)

41
Q

how does prostaglandin react in swine

A

not practical; only effective on days 12-17

42
Q

how does the progestin altrenogest react in swine

A

causes ovarian cysts
given orally for 18 days, which costs $5-10/day

43
Q

how do weaned piglets react in swine

A

swine have strong anestrus, but only works for sows

44
Q

how does puberty induction react in pigs

A

an FSH and LH-like combination

45
Q

describe prostaglandin in horses

A

CL is more sensitive and it is only effective in season

46
Q

describe sucromate in horses

A

OV induction in 48 hours

47
Q

describe hGC in horses

A

OV induction in 36-42 hours

48
Q

describe the progesin altrenogest in horses

A

it is effective in season and reduces estrous behavior

49
Q

what kind of lighting do horses need

A

16 hours of light/day for 60-90 days
