Relations between plasma IGF-I concentrations during treatment with CIDR-based or Ovsynch protocol for timed AI and conception in early postpartum Japanese black beef cows.
We examined the relations between plasma insulin-like growth factor (IGF) -I concentrations during treatment with CIDR-based or Ovsynch protocol for timed AI and conception and plasma steroid concentrations in early postpartum Japanese Black beef cows. Cows in the control group (Ovsynch; n = 21) underwent Ovsynch protocol (GnRH analogue on Day 0, PGF(2alpha) analogue on Day 7, and GnRH analogue on Day 9), with AI on Day 10, approximately 20 h after the second GnRH treatment. Cows in the Ovsynch+CIDR group (n = 22) received Ovsynch protocol plus a CIDR for 7 days (starting on Day 0). Cows in the further treatment group (EB+CIDR+GnRH; n = 22) received 2 mg of estradiol benzoate (EB) on Day 0 in lieu of the first GnRH treatment, followed by the same treatment as in the Ovsynch+CIDR protocol. Plasma IGF-I concentrations were determined on Days -7, 0, 7, 9 and 17. Conception rates were improved in the CIDR-combined groups (both CIDR-treated groups were combined) relative to Ovsynch group (P < 0.05) for cows with low IGF-I concentrations (<1,000 ng/ml) on Days -7, 0, and 7, but improved conception rate produced by the CIDR-based protocols did not occur in cows with a high IGF-I concentration (> or =1,000 ng/ml). Plasma estradiol-17beta concentrations increased from Day 0 to 7 (P < 0.05) and were unchanged from Day 7 to 9 in the Ovsynch group with low IGF-I concentrations on Day 0, while they were unchanged from Day 0 to 7 and increased from Day 7 to 9 (P < 0.05) in the Ovsynch group with high IGF-I concentrations on Day 0 and in the CIDR-combined group. Plasma progesterone concentrations in the Ovsynch group with low IGF-I concentrations on Day 0 were higher on Day 14 than in the Ovsynch group with high IGF-I concentrations on Day 0 and in the CIDR-combined group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, CIDR-based protocols may improve conception relative to Ovsynch in early postpartum beef cows with lower plasma IGF-I concentrations at the start of the protocols. This improvement is probably due to prevention of premature increases of estradiol-17beta and progesterone concentrations, which occurred in cows with low IGF-I concentrations treated with Ovsynch, by the CIDR treatment.

Effect of CIDR-based protocols for timed-AI on the conception rate and ovarian functions of Japanese Black beef cows in the early postpartum period.
Our objectives were to compare: (1) conception rates (in early postpartum Japanese Black beef cows) to timed-artificial insemination (timed-AI) among Ovsynch and Ovsynch plus CIDR protocols, and a protocol that used estradiol benzoate (EB) in lieu of the first GnRH of the Ovsynch plus CIDR; and (2) the effects of these protocols on blood concentrations of ovarian steroids. Cows in the control group (Ovsynch; n=35) underwent a standard Ovsynch protocol (GnRH analogue on Day 0, PGF(2 alpha) analogue on Day 7 and GnRH analogue on Day 9), with timed-AI on Day 10, approximately 20 h after the second GnRH treatment. Cows in the Ovsynch+CIDR group (n=31) received a standard Ovsynch protocol plus a CIDR for 7 days (starting on Day 0). Cows in the third treatment group (EB+CIDR+GnRH; n=41) received 2mg of EB on Day 0 in lieu of the first GnRH treatment, followed by the same treatment as in the Ovsynch+CIDR protocol. The conception rate tended to be greater in the Ovsynch+CIDR group (67.7%, P<0.15) and was greater in the EB+CIDR+GnRH (73.2%, P<0.05) and CIDR-combined (both CIDR-treated groups were combined) groups (70.8%, P<0.05) than in the Ovsynch group (48.6%). Plasma progesterone concentrations were higher on Day 7 (P<0.01) and lower on Days 14, 17 and 21 (P<0.001) in the CIDR-combined group than in the Ovsynch group. Plasma estradiol-17beta concentrations were higher on Day 7 in the Ovsynch group of non-pregnant cows than in the CIDR-combined group of non-pregnant cows and in an all-combined group (all treatment groups combined) of pregnant cows (P<0.01). Furthermore, estradiol-17beta concentrations were lower on Day 9 in the Ovsynch and CIDR-combined groups of non-pregnant cows than in the all-combined group of pregnant cows (P<0.05). In conclusion, both protocols using CIDR improved conception rates following timed-AI in early postpartum suckled Japanese Black beef cows relative to the Ovsynch protocol. Treatment with a CIDR may prevent early maturation of follicles observed in non-pregnant cows treated with the Ovsynch protocol, by maintaining elevated blood progesterone concentrations until PGF(2 alpha) treatment.
