In this study, sources of variation of postpartum cyclicity, ovulation and pregnancy rates were analyzed for 723 primiparous suckled Charolais cows treated with combined norgestomet implants (Crestar) and 600 IU PMSG (Chronogest) injected at the time of implant removal. The cows were inseminated 48 and 72 h after implant removal. Cyclicity and ovulation rate were estimated by progesterone assay and pregnancy rate by ultrasonography. At time of implant insertion, difficulty of previous calving, body condition score (BCS, from 1 to 5), interval from calving to implant insertion and herd related factors were recorded and their effects analyzed by logistic regression models. Cyclicity, ovulation and pregnancy rates were, respectively, 14.7% (106/723 ), 67.1% (381/568 ) and 42% (303/722 ) and were affected by BCS, calving conditions and interval from calving to implant insertion (P values from < 0.01 to < 0.0001). For ovulation and pregnancy rate, an interaction between BCS and interval from calving to implant insertion was found (P < 0.01). No other main factor or interaction was found to be significant. Cyclicity rate was lower in BCS1 (score < 2.5) cows (9.6%) than in BCS2 (19.8%) or BCS3 (score > 2.5) cows (22.4%), and decreased as difficulty of calving increased (23.2, 13.6 and 10.1%, respectively, for calving conditions 1, 2 and 3 cows). Cyclicity rate increased with interval from calving to implant insertion (8.2, 10.2 and 19.5%, respectively, for interval from calving to implant insertion < 60 d, between 60 and 70 d and > 70 d). Similar trends were found for ovulation rate. Previous difficult calving conditions influenced pregnancy rate negatively (47.9, 43.8 and 32.5% for calving conditions 1, 2 and 3 cows, respectively; P < 0,005). |
