본 연구는 젖소에 있어서 lipopolysaccharide의 처리가 번식 성적에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 2003년부터 2005년까지 3년간에 걸쳐 축산연구소 개방형 깔짚우사에서 사육중인 홀스타인 착유우 50두를 대상으로 처리구 및 대조구 각각 25두씩을 공시하였고 분만후 20일째에 1회에 한하여 Bacteroids helcogenes와 Fusobacterium varium으로부터 분리한 LPS 을 PBS 용액 35 ml에 희석하여 수정란 이식용
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of intra-uterine infusion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on reproductive performance in lactating dairy cows. Conception rate at first service was higher (56.0%) in dairy cows treated with LPS compared to non-treated cows (20.0 %). Cumulative conception rate by overall services (more than 2 services) after LPS treatment was also higher (64.0%) in dairy cows treated with LPS compared to non-treated cows (40.0%). Services per conception was significantly higher in control () compared with LPS () treated group (p<0.05).
