Bovine Oviductal Cannulations

Abstract: Oviductal fluid was collected from 23 dairy cows following cannulation of the oviduct in 38 procedures utilizing silastic catheters. Standing laparotomy in the caudal abdomen enabled exteriorization of the ipsilateral ovary, oviduct, and uterine horn tip. A simple plastic device inserted through the ostium facilitated placement of an indwelling catheter. The exteriorized catheter connected to a collection device attached to the flank that provided ready access for harvesting fluids. Typical fluid volumes colle… Show more

“…In the present study, we did not find any differences in protein concentration between the follicular and luteal phases of the oestrous cycle, which is in accordance with results from other studies (Carlson et al 1970;Stanke et al 1974;Roberts et al 1975). In canulated animals, the volume of bOF secreted increases during the late follicular phase, decreasing during the early and late luteal phases of the oestrous cycle (Kavanaugh and Killian 1988). In addition, ampulla secretion is higher than isthmic secretion (1.04 v. 0.5 mL, respectively; Kavanaugh and Killian 1988).…”

“…Preparation of antiserum to oestrus-associated protein Samples of oviductal fluid were collected daily from the oviduct through indwelling cannulae as previously described by Kavanaugh & Killian (1988). Because it was not possible to observe cows for standing oestrus without putting the catheters at risk of evulsion, the stage of the oestrous cycle was determined by radioimmunoassay of progesterone concentration in serum (Killian et al, 1989).…”

“…The local content of VEGF in the bovine oviduct is at its highest during the periovulatory period [8], and may be responsible for the higher fluid secretion within the oviduct during this period [24]. Moreover, we recently reported that VEGF may contribute to regulation of the different contractile patterns of the oviduct, which occur during the period of gamete and embryo transport [15].…”
