The data were obtained from 140 cows calved from November 2014 to November 2015. BSC groups were categorized as low, moderate and high in early lactation (<2.75, 2.75–3.00 and >3.00), midlactation (<3.00, 3.00–3.25 and >3.25) and late lactation (<3.25, 3.25–3.50 and >3.50). Cows with low and moderate BCS in early (BCS<2.75 and BCS=2.75-3.00), mid (BCS<3.00 and BCS=3.00–3.25) and late lactation (BCS<3.25 and BCS>3.50) had a higher daily milk yield (DMY), lactation milk yield (LMY) and 305-day milk yield (305-dMY) (P<0.05). Reproduction traits were also affected (P<0.05) by BCS in mid-lactation. In mid-lactation, the cows with low and moderate BCS had a shorter period of calving to the first service interval (CFSI) and lower number of services per conception (NSC) than that of the cows with high BCS (P<0.05). Both milk yield and reproduction traits were adversely affected by high BCS. It is suggested that BCS can be used as a reliable indicator in indirect selection programs for higher milk yield and reproductive performance in Holstein cows.","PeriodicalId":14924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences","volume":"101 1","pages":"305-311"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81757265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to use Czech Fleckvieh heifers to investigate the influence of urinary reproductive hormones (oestrone sulphate, 17β-oestradiol, and pregnanediol3-glucuronide) on the germination success of seeds placed within their diluted urine, and further to verify the reliability of seed germination test for pregnancy diagnosis in this species. Mung bean and wheat seeds were germinated in two urine-water dilutions (1:4 and 1:14) for three days, using urine samples obtained from either pregnant or non-pregnant heifers. Germinated seeds were counted daily, and the shoot lengths were measured three days after placement in the urine. Levels of urinary reproductive hormones were determined using competitive heterogeneous enzyme immunoassays (EIAs). Despite the dilution rate used, final results indicated that the urine from pregnant heifers inhibited germination and growth in mung beans only. On the contrary, wheat germination rate was higher within the urine from pregnant females on days 1 and 2, when using a 1:14 dilution rate. For both seed species, correlations between urinary hormone profiles and seed germination parameters were found, depending on the day of the experiment and the rate of dilution used. The shoot lengths of mung bean seeds were significantly (P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with the profiles of all hormones analysed from the urine samples. Thus, urinary reproductive hormones influence seed germination and growth rate of wheat and mung beans, indicating the potential for this technique to be used for pregnancy determination in heifers.","PeriodicalId":14924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences","volume":"33 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78077870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve visibility, oocytes are usually handled after cumulus denuding. This study was conducted to establish buffalo oocyte quality estimation in denuded form. For this purpose, correlations were recognized among the size of oocyte, ooplasm and zona pellucida (ZP) with oocyte quality in Nili-Ravi buffalo. From slaughter house based ovaries, oocytes (n=150) were collected by aspiration of follicles and categorized into A, B, C, and D grades based on the number of layers of cumulus cell. After denuding with hyaluronidase enzyme, the detailed micrometric study was performed under inverted microscope at 40X by using micro imaging software (cellSens Dimension 1.16). The data were analyzed by correlation test using a statistical analysis system (SAS 9.1). The results demonstrated as the followings, the mean oocytes diameter (149.76±0.99μm), the width of zona pellucida (12.84±0.23μm), ooplasm diameter (117.5±0.70μm), oocyte area (17804±136μm2) and ooplasm area (11308.09±75μm). There was a strong positive correlation between the ooplasm diameter and oocytes diameter in A and B grade oocytes (r=0.7792) as compared to C and D grade oocytes (r=0.5967). However, there was moderate positive correlation between the width of zona pellucida and oocytes diameter in C and D grade oocytes (r=0.6530) as compared to the A and B grade oocytes (r=0.5287). In conclusion, the greater the ooplasm diameter and lesser the width of zona pellucida give rise to the good quality oocytes. Therefore, it is implied that for better developmental competence, the oocytes with bigger ooplasm and thinner zona pellucida should be processed.","PeriodicalId":14924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences","volume":"69 1","pages":"246-250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85300823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the reasons for declining populations fertility indicators of females are also mentioned. The aim of our study was to determine the reproductive parameters of the species in eastern Hungary. During the years 2015-2016, we studied two hundred animals (121♀, 79♂). Altogether, 121 uteri (81 adult and 40 juvenile) and 79 testicles were examined. The number of placental scars showed us the number of offspring in reproductive periods. The age of hares was estimated based on the weight of dried eye lens. The number of placental scars in the general linear model was significantly affected by hunting areas, the age of animals, the interaction of the former two, and also by body weight and kidney fat indices. The age of hares, the hunting year, the effect of the interaction of the former two, and body weight seriously contributed to the weight of the testicles. Based on the number of placental scars, 70.37% of adult and 62.50% of juvenile females were proved to be capable of reproduction. One can conclude from the above that although fertility indicators may play an important role in the decreasing trend in the numbers of Hungarian brown hare populations, they are definitely not the main causes.","PeriodicalId":14924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences","volume":"83 1","pages":"634-641"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79366871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
