Effects of the temperature-humidity index on conception rates in Holstein heifers and cows receiving in vitro-produced Japanese Black cattle embryos.
We investigated the effect of the temperature-humidity index (THI) on the conception rate (CR) in Holstein heifers and cows receiving in vitro-produced (IVP) Japanese Black cattle fresh embryos. IVP embryos were transferred to Holstein heifers (n = 1,407) and cows (n = 3,189) on 245 commercial farms. The monthly average ambient temperature (AT) and THI ranged from 4.7 to 29°C and 41 to 81, respectively; both were the highest in August. The monthly CR ranged from 16.3% to 46.7% in cows and 23.8% to 74.1% in heifers. The CR of heifers was unaffected by THI, AT, or the month of embryo transfer. However, these parameters affected the CR of cows. The CR at THI values of 61-65 and 71-75 was greater than that at THI > 75, whereas other THI values had no effect. The CR at temperatures > 25°C was lower (P = 0.008) than that at temperatures of 15-20°C and 20-25°C. Moreover, the CR was lowest (P = 0.003) in July. THI and parity (P = 0.057 and P = 0.001, respectively) and AT and parity (P = 0.019 and P = 0.001, respectively) showed significant effects on CR; however, there was no interaction between these two factors. In conclusion, AT > 25°C and THI > 75 adversely affect the CR outcome in cows but not in heifers.

Journal of Reproduction and Development (JRD) is the
official journal of the Society for Reproduction and Development,
published bimonthly, and welcomes original articles. JRD
provides free full-text access of all the published articles on
the web. The functions of the journal are managed by Editorial
Board Members, such as the Editor-in-Chief, Co-Editor-inChief, Managing Editors and Editors. All manuscripts are
peer-reviewed critically by two or more reviewers. Acceptance
is based on scientific content and presentation of the materials.
The Editors select reviewers and correspond with authors. Final
decisions about acceptance or rejection of manuscripts are made
by the Editor-in-Chief and Co-Editor-in-Chief.
