본 연구는 젖소의 발정 행동 징후에 따라 배란 시간을 예측하고 결정하기 위하여 발정의 다양한 행동 징후(승가, 승가허용, 외음부 냄새 맡기 및 턱비빔)와 배란 시간과의 관계에 대해 조사하였다 공시된 51두 중 37두에서 배란이 일어났으며, 이 중 28두에서 발정 발현이 나타났다. 발정 행동 징후는 주사 후 2일째부터 72시간 동안 육안 관찰하였으며 배란 시간(4시간 간격으로 초음파 검사)과의 관계를 각각 조사하였다. 발정 행동별 발정 발현율은 외음부 냄
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between various estrous behavior and ovulation time, and to determine which estrous behavior could predict ovulation time more accurately. In total, 37 ovulations and 28 estrous detection were observed in 51 Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Various estrous behavior were observed during 72 h from two days after injection and their relation with the time of ovulation (ultrasound examinations at 4-h intervals) was investigated. In estrous periods, the rate of sniffing, chin resting, mounting, standing heat was 81%, 78%, 78% and 56%, respectively. Ovulation occurred after onset of estrus (ranging between 7 and 37h) and after end of estrus (ranging between 1 and 28h). Interval between onset of estrus and ovulation time was significantly (p<0.05) shorter for standing heat than for mounting, sniffing and chin resting . In 88% of the animals that displayed mounting, ovulation occurred between after onset of mounting. Onset of standing heat, sniffing and chin resting occurred between before ovulation respectively. Sniffing and chin resting were displayed during the non-estrous period and are therefore, not useful predictors of ovulation time. The standing heat and mounting can be a good predictor for time of ovulation but the disadvantage of using standing heat is that only a limited number of cows display standing heat. Thus, it is concluded that mounting behavior could be the best predictor for time of ovulation.
