본 연구에서는 수정란 이식을 위해 선발된 대리모에 이식 전 백신의 투여 시기가 임신과 유산에 미치는 효과와, 임신한 대리모의 분만 예정일 전에 백신의 투여가 송아지의 질병과 생존에 미치는 효과를 검토하였다. 실험 1에서는 한우 체외 수정란의 이식에 선발된 대리모의 백신 투여 시기가 임신과 유산에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 이식 전 주째 백신 투여시 임신율이 31.5%로서 대조군 및 주 투여군의 42.4 및 45.9%에 비하여 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05
The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of time of vaccination in recipients on the pregnancy rate and the viability of calves derived from embryos produced in vitro. In experiment 1, control group was non-vaccinated, group 1-1 received vaccine (Pfizer, Exton, PA, USA) during 04 weeks and group 1-2 received vaccine during 48 weeks before embryo transfer. The pregnancy rates in the control (42.6%) and group 1-2 (45.3%) were significantly higher (p<0.05) than that in the group 1-1 (32.6%). However, the abortion rates were similar among groups (4.9 to 13.5%). In experiment 2, the recipients received embryos produced in vitro were non-vaccinated (control) or vaccinated. Vaccine was injected during 04 weeks (group 2-1) and 48 weeks (group 2-2) before parturition. The incidence of a disease in calves was significantly higher in the control (22.4%) than in other vaccinated groups (2.2% and 3.1%, p<0.05). The mortality of calves in the control is 27.6%, which was significantly higher than that of group 2-1 and group 2-2 (11.1% and 7.8%).
