Effects of dominant follicle aspiration and treatment with recombinant bovine somatotropin (BST) on ovarian follicular development in Nelore (Bos indicus) heifers

Follicle ablation has been recognized as an efficient method of follicular wave synchronization. Treatment with recombinant bovine somatotropin (BST) has been shown to enhance follicular development in Bos taurus.

Treatment with recombinant bovine somatotropin (BST) has been shown to enhance follicular development in Bos taurus. This experiment assessed the effects of these treatments in Nelore (B. indicus) heifers. Eight cycling Nelore heifers were randomly assigned to 3 different treatments. On Day 2 of a synchronized cycle (Day 0 = day of ovulation), heifers assigned to Treatments 1 and 2 received 2 mL of saline, whereas heifers assigned to Treatment 3 received 320 mg of BST. On Day 5, the first-wave dominant follicle was ablated by ultrasound-guided transvaginal aspiration in heifers in Treatments 2 and 3, and all heifers received an injection of prostaglandin on Day 11. Aspiration of the dominant follicle advanced and synchronized (P < 0.05) the day of second-wave emergence (6.9 ± 0.1 vs. 8.4 ± 0.4) and the day of the pre-wave FSH peak (6.0 ± 0.0 vs. 6.9 ± 0.4), and increased FSH peak concentrations (381 ± 21 vs. 292 ± 30; pg/mL; P < 0.01). Recombinant bovine somatotropin treatment caused a two-fold increase in plasma insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentrations (P < 0.001) and resulted in a 36% increase in the number of small follicles (<5 mm; P < 0.001) compared with saline-treated heifers. In summary, in agreement with previous reports on B. taurus, dominant follicle aspiration synchronized ovarian follicular development, and BST treatment increased peripheral concentrations of IGF-I in Nelore heifers.
