Fate of follicles and oocytes. Total # of follicles At birth 100, months 75, years 21,000 Aged cow 2,500 Follicles grow to tertiary characteristic and degenerate. Maximum number of oocytes ovulated for a cow 17 cycles/year x 8 year = 136 oocytes ovulated/lifespan 100 Days of Gestation 2.9 million 100 Days of Gestation 2.9 million Can increase with superovulation with FSH to stimulate the rescue of follicles which would have undergone atresia Can increase with superovulation with FSH to stimulate the rescue of follicles which would have undergone atresia

Types of Ovulators

Spontaneous Ovulators

Induced Ovulators

Sensory Neurons Nerve endings sensing copulation Penis Copulation Induced Ovulators

GnRH Blood LH Time (hr) LH Spinal Chord Anterior Pit. Posterior Pit. Hypothalamus Stimulation

Sensory Neurons Nerve endings sensing copulation Penis Copulation LH

Cats Induced Ovulators Single copulation –Only works 50% of the time Multiple copulations –Higher LH surge

Spontaneous Ovulators Retain some neural control of ovulation –heifers can alter the timing of the LH surge by clitoral stimulation –human rape cases result in higher than expected pregnancy rates

Manipulating Ovulation Hormonal induction of ovulation –PGF 2  –GnRH –Progestins Superovulation –FSH –eCG

Principle of PGF 2  Use Regress active corpus luteum –Only effective on day corpus luteum –Not effective on days: (CL not responsive) (CL already regressed)

Induction of Ovulation with PGF 2  Ovulation Follicular Size Day After Ovulation Dominance Recruitment Selection Ovulation Progesterone PGF 2 

7 Days hours GnRH PGF 2  hours Timed AI GnRH Eliminate current follicular wave Ovsynch LuteolysisOvulates dominant follicle

Principle: Maintain the cow under the influence of progesterone until corpus luteum regresses, remove progesterone - animal respond to progesterone with estrus and ovulation 2-5 days later. Administration: Injection Feed Implant Pessary or Control Internal Drug Release (CIDR) Use of Progestogens This does not regress the CL!!!!
