Involución uterina en vacas Holstein en la provincia El Carchi, Ecuador

Abstract

Objective. To evaluate the uterine involution in Holstein cow, under the conditions of production of the bovine dairy cattle in the province El Carchi, Ecuador. Materials and Methods. Sixty cows were selected and the time for uterine involution was determined by the recto-vaginal examination, ultrasonography and the clinical score of the regression of the uterus. The statistical parameters for each variable were determined. The effect of parity and body condition (CC) on complete uterine involution was evaluated by multifactorial ANOVA and the LSD test to compare means. Results. The clinical involution of the uterus, without taking into account the clinical score occurred at 29.86±7.71 days but considering this notation was at 42 ± 0.39 days. The uterine involution took place earlier (p<0.05) in cows with BCS ≥ 3.5 at birth than in those with BCS <3.5. In second calving cows it was at 25.17±1.32 days and it was extended (p<0.05) for the third and fourth calving. The occurrence of the dominant follicle and ovulation occur at 16.63 ± 3.83 and 27.76±7.71 days, respectively. Conclusions. The clinical involution of the uterus occurred in less time when the recto-vaginal examination was considered, compared when it was evaluated taking into account the clinical score. The uterine involution process is influenced by parity and body condition at calving.

Evaluar la involución uterina en vacas Holstein, en las condiciones de producción de la ganadería bovina lechera en la provincia El Carchi, Ecuador. Materiales y métodos. Se seleccionaron 60 vacas y se determinó el tiempo para la involución uterina mediante la exploración recto-vaginal, ultrasonografía y la puntuación clínica de la regresión del útero. Se determinaron los estadígrafos descriptivos de cada variable. Se evaluó el efecto de la paridad y la condición corporal (CC) sobre la completa involución uterina mediante un ANOVA multifactorial y la prueba LSD para comparar las medias. Resultados.

Postpartum Uterine Involution and Embryonic Development Pattern in Chinese Holstein Dairy Cows

“…Uterine involution is a physiological process by which the uterus turns to its prepregnancy dimensions with endometrial regeneration, reduced uterine blood flow and endometrial vascularity, and reduced muscle mass (5,6). Several physiological factors affect the uterine involution in dairy cows such as breeds, nutritional conditions, body condition score (BCS) at calving, and postpartum diseases (7)(8)(9)(10). There are, however, contradictory reports of the parityuterine involution relationship.…”

Condición corporal y reinicio de la actividad ovárica posparto en vacas Holstein en Ecuador

“…La composición química del suelo y el pasto en agroecosistemas de la región andina de Ecuador originan en las vacas lecheras excesos de proteínas y deficiencias de energía, P, Cu y Zn; consecuentemente, estas presentan alteraciones nutricionales y metabólicas, y baja CC. En estos rebaños los principales indicadores reproductivos indican prolongación del anestro posparto (4,5) además, la CC infliuye en la involución uterina (6), lo que indica que puede influir también sobre el RAO posparto.…”
