To investigate the change of vaginal epithelial cell in estrus-induced Shih-tzu bitch, estrus was induced by PMSG (50 IU/kg, for 10 days) and hCG (1,000 IU, on Day 10) in 12 anestrus Shih-tzu bitches. Day-changes of vaginal epithelial cells during the whole period of hormone treatment were investigated in each experimental bitches. The first day of vulvar bleeding and the first day of male acceptant was on days (), and days after the first PMSG treatment. The duration of proestrus and estrus was days, and days. Characteristic features of vaginal cytology during the estrous cycle were the high proportion of large intermediate cell, superficial cell, anuclear cell and erythrocyte in proestrus, superficial cell and anuclear cell in estrus, and parabasal cell, small and large intermediate cell, and leukocyte in diestrus, respectively. When it was timed from the first day of PMSG administration (Day 0), the cornification index (CI) was the high proportion in proestrus and estrus. The CI peak was maintained above 80% between Day 11~14 (4 days) and CI showed a peak at Day 12. These results indicated that the 12 Shih-tzu bitches showed positive estrus induction by vaginal smear test and observation of clinical estrus sign.

무발정기에 속한 Shih-tzu 견 9두를 대상으로 하여 PMSG(50IU/kg)를 10일 동안 매일 근육주사 후 마지막 10일째에 hCG(1,000IU/head)를 정맥 주사하여 인공적으로 발정을 유기 하였다. 실험견 9두 중 9두(100%)에서 발정 출혈, 회음부 반사, 외음부 종대 및 수컷 허용 등의 임상적인 발정 증상이 관찰되었으며 그중 5두(55.6%)가 임신하였고 4두는 임신되지 않았다(44.4%). 임신견 5두 중 3두(33.3%)가 자연분

본 연구는 한국재래산양에서 프로게스타겐(Synchromate-B, Veramix 및 CIDR)과 성선자극호르몬(PMSG, FSH 및 hOG)의 병용처리가 발정동기화 및 과배란유기에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였는 바, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 프로게스타겐과 PMSG을 이용한 재래산양의 발정동기화 유기율은 Synchromate-B는 52.9%, Veramix는 72.9% 그리고 CIDR는 75.2% 로써 Veramix 및 CIDR처리구가 Synchromate-B 처리구보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 또한, 프로게스타겐을 이용한 발정동기화유기시 배란점에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 평균배란점수는 Synchromate-B는 2.11±1.89개, Veramix는 1.34±0.87개 및 CIDR는 1.42±0.96개로써 Synchromate-B 처리구에서 유의적으로 높은 결과를 나타냈다(P<0.05). 2. 프로게스타겐인 Synchromate-B, Veramix 및 CIDR로 성주기를 조절하고 FSH, PMSG와 hCG로 과배란처리를 유기하였을 때 프로게스타겐에 따른 과배란유기율은 각각 98.6%, 99.45% 및 98.8%로서 상호간에 유의성이 인정되지 않았고, 평균배란점수는 각각 12.58±16.52개, 12.91±7.27개 및 11.28±6.33개로 CIDR 처리구에 비하여 Synchromate-B 처리구와 Veramix 처리구에서 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 3. CIDR로 성주기를 조절하고 성선자극호르몬으로써 FSH, PMSG와 hCG를 처리한 시험구와 PMSG를 투여하지 않은 시험구의 배란점은 각각 11.16±6.00개 및 10.79±6.46개로서 유의적 차이가 인정되지 않았다.

A field trial was performed to evaluate the effects of hormone treatment on estrus induction, ovulation, embryo transfer and reproductive performance in post-weaning sows. This trial involved 61 mixed breed sows of varying parity on a commercial pig farm. Sows were allocated to one of five trials: control group involved 25 sows that were treated with a single intramuscular injection of 5 ml physiological saline, 6 sows received 1,500 IU PMSG on the day of weanning and 500 IU HCG at the onset of estrus in trial I, 7 sows received 750 IU PMSG on the day of weanning and 500 IU HCG at the onset of estrus in trial II, 5 sows were treated with the same as trial II on day 28 after weanning in trial III. and 18 sows were treated with 10 mg PGF plus 2 mg estradiol benzoate on day 31 after weanning in trial IV. Ovarian responses were checked by laparotomy and ova were recovered by oviducal flushing between 40 and l00hrs after mating. Fertilized ova were transferred into the oviduts of recipient sows synchroni- zed. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Percentages of sows detected in standing estrus following treatment were 86~100% among trial groups. The interval from treatment to standing estrus(6l.70.5lhrs) in lOmg PGF and 2mg estradial henzoate treated group was significantly earlier than in other trial groups(P<0.05). 2. Average number of ovulations was 11.5~37.8 among trial groups. The ovulation rate in 1,500 IU PMSG and 500 IU RCG treated group (37.8 19.87) was significantly different from other trial groups(P<0.05). 3. Ova were recovered by oviducal flushing between 40~ l00hrs after mating and recovery rates of ova wore 91.4% between 40~59hrs. 4. Fertilized ova were transferred into the oviducts of 8 recipient sows synchronized with 7 to 17 ova per animal. Three of the recipients were pregnant and delivered 25 piglets. 5. Four of the donor sows in those embryo collection was not successful were pregnant following oviducal flushing and delivered 23 piglets. 6. Recurrence of estrus and farrowing performance of experimental sows were observed following the experiment was no difference among trial groups, respectively.
