Level of sodium chloride (NaCl) and profile of cervical mucus of dairy cattle at various age synchronized by prostaglandine

Abstract

Objectives of this study were to compare the percentage of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and cervical mucus profile which includes potential of Hydrogen (pH), abundance of cervical mucus, spinnbarkeit and ferning of dairy cattle at different age during estrus cycle. Thirty Two head of dairy cattle were used as materials which are 2 years old (n = 2), 3 years old (n = 18), 4 years old (n = 8) and 5 years old (n=4). Dairy cattle were estrus synchronized using 50 mg/head of prostaglandin. Data was collected on 48, 72, 78, 84, 90, 120, 144 and 408 hours after prostaglandin administration. The data were analyzed by using non parametric statistic which was Kruskal-Wallis H test. The significant data was tested with Mann-Whitney U test. The result showed that the abundance of cervical mucus was significantly different (P<0.05; χ2 = 0.011) on 84 hours after estrus synchronization. However, level of NaCl, abundance, spinnbarkeit and ferning of cervical mucus was not sigificantly different. In conclusion, the age of dairy cattle did not affected to the condition NaCl percentage, spinnbarkeit, pH and ferning of cervical mucus, but affected to the abundance of cervical mucus on 84 hours after adminitration of prostaglandine.

Association among Spinnbarkeit , Electrical Conductivity , and Crystallization of Cervical Mucus and Pregnancy Rate in Egyptian Baladi Cows

“…Whereas the 1 st and 2 nd levels of crystallization containing typical fern patterns had pregnancy rates of 80.00 and 66.67 %, respectively. This result was consistent with several studies (Verma et al, 2014;Joshi et al, 2017;Ondho et al, 2019;Siregar et al, 2019). The SPK decreases with increasing P4, increases when E2 concentrations are high, and peaks during ovulation (Verma et al, 2014).…”

“…The cervical mucus properties at the moment of service/insemination affect pregnancy in cows, it is generally known that physicochemical alterations in cervical mucus occur during erectile ovarian steroids, aiding sperm penetration. While the determination of specific parameters such as spinnbarkeit, crystallization pattern, electrical conductivity, dry matter contents, and rheological values have been utilized to predict the optimum time for cattle insemination (Joshi et al, 2017;Ondho et al, 2019;Siregar et al, 2019;Abd-El-Hafeez et al, 2020).…”

“…In each stage of estrus, ferning crystallization will be varied. It is linked to E2 secretion as a macro-mineral stimulus in the CM (Ondho et al, 2019). According to Yavari et al (2009), ferning can be noticed when ovulation approaches due to increased level of E2.…”

“…Examination of fluids secreted in the female genital tract to determine fertility has become a major concern and cervical fluid is also involved in sperm survivability and delivery to the uterus (Kumar et al, 2012). Characteristics of CM can be utilized as a sign to detect the exact moment of artificial insemination and can be utilized as an indicator of reproductive health connected to estrous behavior, also, play a major influence in pregnancy success; thus they will boost the conception rate (Tsiligianni et al, 2000;Benbia et al, 2011;Verma et al, 2014;Joshi et al, 2017;Ondho et al, 2019;Siregar et al, 2019;Abd-El-Hafeez et al, 2020).…”

Association Among Spinnbarkeit, Electrical Conductivity, and Crystallization of Cervical Mucus and Pregnancy Rate in Egyptian Baladi Cows

“…In the present study, 75% of pregnant cows had a TFP in CM, which could be attributable to an increase in peripheral E 2 concentrations during estrus, indicating the optimal time for insemination. Mucus criteria, especially SPK, are affected by the cervical mucus acidity and function as a nonimmunogenic antibacterial in the cow's reproductive tract (Ondho et al, 2019). Lu and Morresey (2006) reported that the cervical mucus release of estrogen makes the uterus resistant to infection.…”
