摘要

温度和湿度升高会降低公牛的精子质量和生育能力。以牛、籼牛和杂交牛为研究对象,考虑采集时和采集前30 d的季节和温度湿度指数,评价季节和温度湿度指数(THI)对定期人工授精(FTAI)方案中精子质量和育性的影响。精液于2020年至2022年在巴西SP博图卡图收集和处理;共有120头公牛,分别来自安格斯、布兰格斯和内洛尔三个品种。在巴西南部、东南部和中西部的63个农场使用冻融精液进行固定时间人工授精,有26,800例妊娠记录(5129例来自安格斯精液,1217例来自布兰格斯精液,20,454例来自内洛雷精液)。季节和THI影响精子质量特征(新鲜和冻融)和妊娠率(P < 0.05)。夏季,高THI对安格斯公牛精子低温保存前后的特征有负面影响,而对布兰格公牛和耐洛尔公牛精子的影响较小;在高THI条件下,Nelore公牛的精子在冷冻前和冷冻后都具有最好的质量。在冬季(安格斯和耐洛尔)和春季(布兰格斯)处理精液的受孕率最高。在夏季加工精液或THI最高的情况下,Brangus和Nelore公牛的受胎率明显高于Angus。综上所述,安格斯公牛在夏季和高THI条件下对热应激更敏感,新鲜和解冻后精液质量显著降低。结果表明,在亚热带气候条件下,布兰科和耐洛尔科对高THI的适应能力较强,能在四季保持精液质量和生育能力。

Season and temperature-humidity index affect sperm quality and in vivo fertility of beef bulls

Season and temperature-humidity index affect sperm quality and in vivo fertility of beef bulls
Increased temperature and humidity can reduce sperm quality and fertility of bulls. The objective was to evaluate effects of season and temperature-humidity index (THI) on quality of sperm collected from Bos taurus, Bos indicus and crossbred beef bulls and its fertility in fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) programs, considering season and THI at semen collection and 30 d before collection. Semen was collected and processed in Botucatu, SP, Brazil, between 2020 and 2022; there were 120 bulls from three breeds (Angus, Brangus, and Nelore). Frozen-thawed semen was used for fixed-time artificial insemination on 63 farms in southern, southeastern, and central-western Brazil, with 26,800 pregnancy records (5129 from Angus semen; 1217 from Brangus; and 20,454 from Nelore). Season and THI affected (P < 0.05) sperm quality characteristics (fresh and frozen-thawed) and pregnancy rates. In summer, high THI negatively affected pre- and post-cryopreservation characteristics of Angus sperm, whereas sperm from Brangus and Nelore bulls were less affected; with high THI, sperm from Nelore bulls had the best quality, both before and after freezing. Pregnancy rates were highest with semen processed in winter (Angus and Nelore) or spring (Brangus). With semen processed in the summer or with the highest THI, Brangus and Nelore bulls had significantly higher pregnancy rates than Angus. In conclusion, Angus bulls were more sensitive to heat stress during the summer and high THI conditions, with significant reductions in fresh and post-thaw semen quality. Results were attributed to Brangus and Nelore sires being better adaptated to high THI, sustaining semen quality and fertility in all seasons under in a subtropical climate.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are: • The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature • The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature • Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause • Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span • Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment • The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man • Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature • Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever • Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia Article types: • Original articles • Review articles
