          Abstract

          A objeto de evaluar el efecto de la condición corporal al parto (CCAP) y del nivel de alimentación (NA) sobre la involución uterina (IU), actividad ovárica (AO), preñez (PR) y expresión de los receptores de leptina (EXPLEP) a nivel hipotalámico y ovárico en vacas postparto, se emplearon 27 vacas mestizas (Bos taurus x Bos indicus). Los animales fueron asignados al azar, con arreglo factorial 2x2, a uno de cuatro tratamientos (T). T1: CCAP baja (<2,5) + NA bajo (BCBA) (n=6); T2: CCAP baja (<2,5) + NA alto (BCAA) (n=7); T3: alta CCAP (>2,5) + bajo NA (ACBA) (n=7) y el T4: CCAP alta (>2,5) + NA alto (ACAA) (n=7). La dieta basal fue de heno de Cynodon nlemfluensis (8% proteína cruda; PC) y un suplemento (23%; PC), a una relación 70:30. Para evaluar IU se consideró: la característica de la secresión uterina (CSU), simetría de los cuernos uterinos (SCU), diámetro cervical (DC) y posición del útero (PU). La evaluación reproductiva se realizó semanalmente desde los 15 hasta los 45 días postparto (DPP), por palpación transrectal, ultrasonografía y progesterona (P4) en plasma. La AO fue evaluada a través de folículos ováricos (F), clasificados en clases: C1 (≤5 mm), C2(6-9 mm) y C3 (≥10 mm) y la presencia de cuerpos lúteos (CL). La PR fue comprobada a través de la palpación rectal, ultrasonido y P4. Cambios metabólicos energéticos fueron medidos, a través del colesterol total (COL) y fructosamina (FRTS) a los 3, 15, 30 y 45 DPP. La expresión hipotalámica y ovárica de los receptores de leptina (EXLEP) fue evaluada mediante la técnica de Western blot, empleando tejidos de 8 vacas sacrificadas a los 45 DPP. Los datos fueron analizados a través de un análisis de regresión multivariado multiple, ANAVAR para medidas repetidas en el tiempo, una regresión múltiple de Cox y una prueba de Kruskal y Wallis. Los resultados muestran correlación (P<0,05) entre T y C3 y entre C3 y CSU a los 22 al 30 DDP. Se obtuvo una correlación entre CL y CSU en el 37 DDP. C1 no estuvo asociado a T ni a IU. Hubo correlación significativa (P<0,01) entre las diferentes variables de IU (CSU, DC, SCU y PU). El análisis de regresión multivariado múltiple detectó efecto significativo (P<0,05) de T y DC sobre AO. La condición corporal postparto (CCPP) afectó AO (P<0,01). Cox para CL dependió (P<0,01) de CSU y SCU. El efecto de T sobre P4 acumulada fue significativa (P<0,01) y CCAP tuvo efecto significativo sobre P4 (P<0,05) desde el 30 DPP. FRTS fue diferente entre T (P<0,05) pero no entre períodos de muestreo. EXLEP para receptores hipotalámicos fue mayor para vacas con alta CCAP, independientemente del NA. PR fue diferente entre T (P<0,01). Valores de PR hasta los 120 DPP fueron: T3: 75%; T4: 60% vs. T2: 0% y T1: 20%. Se concluye que T afectó la IU (CSU, SCU) y la AO (clases foliculares y CL). Se evidenció un efecto de CCAP sobre la expresión de los receptores de leptina en el hipotálamo como uno de los mediadores en la regulación de la actividad ovárica. En consecuencia de lo anterior, hubo una mayor tasa de preñez antes de los 120 DPP, en los tratamientos con mejor CCAP.

          Effect of Body Condition at Calving and Feeding Level on Uterine Involution, Ovarian Activity, Pregnancy and the Hypothalamic and Ovarian Expression of Leptin Receptors in Dual Purpose Cows Abstract To evaluate the effect of body condition at calving (BCAC) and different feeding levels (FL) on uterine involution (UI), ovarian activity (OA), pregnancy (PR), and hypothalamic and ovarian leptin receptor expression (LEPEXP) in postpartum cows, twenty seven crossbred cows (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) were randomly assigned in a 2 x 2 factorial design into four treatments (T): T1, low body condition (LBC; < 2.5) + low FL (LBCLFL; n = 6); T2, LBC (< 2.5) + high FL (LBCHFL; n = 7); T3, high BC (> 2.5) + low FL (HBCLFL; n = 7) and; T4, high BC (>2.5) + high FL (HBCHFL; N = 7). Basal diet was made of hay from Cynodon nlemfluensis (11% crude protein, CP) plus supplement (23% CP) at a 70:30 ratio. To assess uterine involution (UI), the following was considered: characteristic of uterine secretion (CUS), uterine horn simmetry (UHS), cervix diameter (CD), and uterine position (UP). Weekly, from 15 to 45 days postpartum (DPP), the reproductive tract was evaluated by transrectal palpation, ultrasonography, and RIA of plasma progesterone (P4). The OA was assessed through the ovarian follicles (OF), which were classified as : C1 (≤ 5 mm), C2 (6-9 mm), C3 (≥ 10 mm); and the presence of corpora lutea (CL). The PR was verified by rectal palpation, ultrasound, and P4. Metabolic changes were measured as total cholesterol (TC) and fructosamine (FRTS) at 3, 15, and 45 DPP. The hypotalamic and ovarian LEPEXP were determined by Western blot from tissue samples of 8 cows slaughtered at 45 DPP. Data were statistically analyzed by multivariate multiple regressions, ANOVA for repeated measurements on time, Cox’s multiple regression and a Kruskal and Wallis test. Results show a correlation between T and C3 and between C3 and CUS at 22 and 30 DPP. Also, a correlation was detected between CL and CUS at 37 DPP. No association between C1 and T or C1 and UI was found. The multivariate multiple regressions detected a significant effect (P<0.05) of T and CD on OA. The BCAC influenced OA (P < 0.01). Cox value for CL depended on CUS and UHS (P<0.01). The effect of T and BCAC over accumulated P4 was significant (P<0.05) and BCAC had an effect on P4 from 30 DPP. FRTS was different among T (P<0.05), but were not among sample times. The LEPEXP for hypothalamus was higher for cows with high BCAC, independently from FL. The PR was different among T (P<0.01). Values for PR at 120 DPP were: T3: 75% and T4: 60% vs T2: 0% and T1: 20%. In summary, T, BCAC, CUS and UHS exerted a positive effect on OA. The LEPEXP at the hypothalamus levels corroborated the response of BCAC on OA. Consequently, there was a high pregnancy rate before 120 DPP in T with better BCAC.

            Influence of uterine bacterial contamination after parturition on ovarian dominant follicle selection and follicle growth and function in cattle.

            First postpartum dominant follicles are preferentially selected in the ovary contralateral to the previously gravid uterine horn. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that uterine bacterial contamination alters the location of ovarian follicle emergence and selection, and inhibits follicle growth and function. Swabs were collected from the uterine body lumen of cattle on days 7, 14, 21 and 28 after parturition. Bacteria were identified by aerobic and anaerobic culture; bacterial growth was scored semiquantitatively and animals were categorized into standard or high bacterial contamination categories on the basis of the number of colonies detected. Follicular growth and function were monitored by daily transrectal ultrasonography, and estimation of plasma FSH, oestradiol and progesterone concentrations. There was no effect of bacterial contamination on plasma FSH concentration profiles or emergence of the ovarian follicle wave. When uterine bacterial growth scores were high on day 7 or day 21 after parturition, fewer first (1/20 versus 15/50; P < 0.05) or second (1/11 versus 13/32; P < 0.05) dominant follicles were selected in the ipsilateral compared with the contralateral ovary, respectively. The diameter of the first dominant follicle was smaller in animals with a high day 7 bacterial score (P < 0.001), dominant follicle growth was slower (P < 0.05) and oestradiol secretion was decreased (P < 0.05). The present study provides evidence for an effect of the uterus on the ovary after parturition, whereby uterine bacteria have a contemporaneous localized effect on ovarian follicle selection and subsequent growth and function, but not on initial emergence.

              Defining and diagnosing postpartum clinical endometritis and its impact on reproductive performance in dairy cows.

              The objectives of this study were to validate diagnostic criteria for clinical endometritis in postpartum dairy cows and to measure the impact of endometritis on reproductive performance. Data were collected from 1865 cows in 27 herds, including history of dystocia, twins, retained placenta, or metritis. All cows were examined once between 20 and 33 d in milk (DIM) including external inspection, vaginoscopy, and transrectal palpation of the cervix, uterus, and ovaries. All cows were followed for a minimum of 7 mo or until pregnancy or culling. Survival analysis was used to derive a case definition of endometritis based on factors associated with increased time to pregnancy. The significance of clinical findings depended on the interval postpartum when examination took place. The presence of purulent uterine discharge or cervical diameter > 7.5 cm after 20 DIM, or mucopurulent discharge after 26 DIM identified cows with clinical endometritis. Given vaginoscopy, no diagnostic criteria based on palpation of the uterus had predictive value for time to pregnancy. The prevalence of clinical endometritis was 16.9%. Vaginoscopy was required to identify 44% of these cases. Accounting for parity, herd, and ovarian status, cows with clinical endometritis between 20 and 33 DIM had a hazard ratio of 0.73 for pregnancy (took 27% longer to become pregnant), and were 1.7 times more likely to be culled for reproductive failure than cows without endometritis.
