43
New cards

Saliva, Feces, CSF, Urine, Blood, Milk

What can be used to test for pregnancy/progesterone in animals?

44
New cards

there is a cup with hormone antibodies on it, which will idn to progesterone if it is present in the milk, creating a Hormone-Hormone Antibody complex. If it truns blue, there is no progesterone or very little progesterone. If it is white the cow does have progesterone present in her milk.

How do Assays work?

45
New cards

true

True or False: if the milk was high in progesterone not much of the "enzyme antibody linked progesterone" bound... only the "enzyme antibody linked progesterone" will bind to the enzyme and cause the color change.

46
New cards

the colors are subjective

What is a con of using the Target Progesterone Assay?

47
New cards
term image

Drawing Challenge: Draw the estrous cycle chart and be sure to label when ovulation occurs, when follicular phases are luteolysis, and the luteal phase, as well as the respective estrogen and progesterone levels.

48
New cards

7 days apart for 21 days, 3 samples total

What does it mean if the Assay results are Low-Low-High?

52
New cards

sub-functional CL, cow ovulated but CL regressed early

What does it mean if Assay results are Low-Medium-High?

53
New cards

Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone, this is released by the Hypothalamus. GnRH induces ovulation and causes the release of the gonadotropins - LH and FSH

What is GnRH, its function, and where it is released?

54
New cards

Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, released from the pituitary in response to GnRH. 

What are LH and FSH? Where are they released and when?

55
New cards

causes ovulation and helps maintain the CL

What is the role of Luteinizing Hormone (LH)?

56
New cards

stimulates follicular growth

What is the role of Follicle Stimulating Hormone?

57
New cards

Estradiol, released by the ovaries (from the follicles specifically); causes standing estrus, also triggers the release of GnRH when there is a lack of progesterone

What is E2 and its function? Where is it released and when?

58
New cards

Progesterone, maintains pregnancy and inhibits ovulation, released by CL

What is P4, what is its purpose and where is it released?

59
New cards

Prostaglandin F2 Alpha is released by the uterus and regresses the CL

What is PGF2alpha? What is its function and where is it released from?

60
New cards

anytime progesterone is high, estrogen is low; anytime estrogen is high, progesterone is low. This inverse relationship is very important!

what is true about progesterone and estrogen’s relationship?

61
New cards

Cholesterol

What is the base of any steroid?

62
New cards

Progesterone, Estrogen, Testosterone

What are the three steroidal hormones?

63
New cards

Peptides like GnRH and Oxytocin

What kinds are hormones are produced by the hypothalamus: Peptides or Steroids?

64
New cards

They go to the pituitary which releases the proteins LH, FSH, hCG, PMSG, bST (all gonadotropins)

Where do peptides travel to once they leave the hypothalamus? what does this structure release?

65
New cards
  • GnRH or Gonadotropins such as Cystorelin, pLH, Pregnyl

What would we give if we want our animal to ovulate?

66
New cards
  • Prostaglandin F2α, such as Lutalyse

What would we give if we want to regress (or lyse) the CL?

67
New cards
  • In order to block ovulation, we would want to give progesterone such as Matrix, a CIDR, Regumate - Regumate is commonly used in performance horses to stop mares from cycling as this can hamper their performance

What would we use if we don't want our animal to cycle at all? 

68
New cards

estrogen

it is used to plan insemination when we know the animal is going to ovulate

What is the purpose of NC Synch

87
New cards

give PGF2 alpha (Lutalyse)

it can be expensive purchasing all of these drugs

What are the disadvantages of the NC Synch protocol?

92
New cards

CIDR

What is typically used if the NC Synch protocol is not?

93
New cards

releases progesterone, which causes a lowering in estrogen production and prevents ovulation until the removal of the CIDR

How does a CIDR work?

94
New cards

PGF2 alpha or PG 600

What is recommended to give after removing a CIDR?

95
New cards

ideal for third-world countries since it only requires 1 shot each time, wasting fewer materials and causing less progesterone contamination in our streams and landfills.

What are the advantages of the NC Synch protocol?

96
New cards
  • interest in a buck - place a buck in a pen, does the doe run up to it? Or place a doe in a pen and see if the buck goes up to it.

  • Vocalizations

  • Red/swollen vulva

  • Raised tail

  • Sometimes mucus from the vagina is also present

What are signs of estrus in doe or ewes?

97
New cards
98
New cards

in the uterine body. It is important to deposit the semen in the uterine body, and not a uterine horn, as we do not know which horn may have ovulated. 

Where is semen deposited during AI? Why?

99
New cards
  1. Place doe in a stanchion and raise the hindquarters

  2. Clean the vulva

  3. Apply lube to the speculum

  4. Enter the vulva with the duckbill speculum

  5. Grab the wall of the cervical os with the forceps at around the 1:00 position
