In Experiment 1, 24 suckled beef cows were assigned to 4 treatment groups (6 cows/group). Group I cows calved spontaneously. Parturition was induced in Groups 2, 3 and 4 with 20 mg dexamethasone (DEX) 8 to 12 days prior to expected calving date. Additionally, cows in Groups 3 and 4 received 8 mg triamcinalone acetonide (TA) 6 days prior to DEX treatment. Animals in Group 4 also received 10 mg estradiol benzoate (EB) with TA, and on alternate days until DEX, when 20 mg EB was given. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH, 100 mug) was given intramuscular (IM) to all cows on days 2 or 3 postpartum. Plasma LH increased (P< .05) following GnRH treatment in Groups 2, 3 and 4, but not in Group 1. LH release (area under the curve) following GnRH was greater (P< .05) for cows in Group 4 compared to cows in Groups 1, 2 or 3, and differences in LH release between Groups 1, 2 or 3 were not significant. In Experiment II, 36 mature Hereford cows were assigned to a 2 x 3 factorial experiment (6 cows/group). Groups 1 and 2, 3 and 5, and 4 and 6 received 0, 100, or 200 mug GnRH (IM) at 78 hr postpartum, respectively. In addition, cows in Groups 2, 5 and 6 received 5 mg EB at 36 hr postpartum. Plasma LH concentrations were not different (P <.05) among groups from 36 to 78 hr postpartum. A surge of LH in response to EB treatment was not detected at 54 to 62 hr (18 to 26 hr post EB), indicating a lack of response by the positive feedback mechanism at this early time postpartum. Mean plasma LH concentrations were elevated 78 to 82 hr postpartum for Groups 3 through 6. Treatment with EB at 36 hr caused a significantly greater (P< .05) response to GnRH with 200 mug of GnRH releasing more LH than 100 mug of GnRH. |
