Cisto ovariano em vacas de leite: incidĂȘncia, resposta Ă aplicação de GnRH e desempenho reprodutivo Ovarian cysts in lactating dairy cows: incidence, response to GnRH, and reproductive performance
A incidĂȘncia de cistos ovarianos, a resposta ao tratamento com GnRH e os efeitos da ocorrĂȘncia de cisto no desempenho reprodutivo e na taxa de descarte foram determinados em vacas lactantes da raça Holandesa. Vacas lactantes (n=333) foram avaliadas semanalmente por ultrassonografia a partir da quarta semana pĂłs-parto, visando Ă detecção de corpos lĂșteos (CL) e de folĂculos ovarianos maiores que 10mm. Na sĂ©tima semana pĂłs-parto, as vacas foram classificadas: em ciclando (n=248; presença de CL em um dos exames ultrassonogrĂĄficos); em anestro (n=54; ausĂȘncia de CL e de folĂculos >25mm) e com cisto (n=31; ausĂȘncia de CL e presença de estruturas >25mm), quando foram distribuĂdas em: grupo-controle (n=16; sem tratamento) e grupo-tratamento (n=15; vacas que receberam uma aplicação de GnRH). A taxa de cura foi de 60,0% no grupo das vacas tratadas e de 87,5% no grupo-controle. As vacas com cistos apresentaram maior intervalo parto-primeira inseminação artificial (P<0,05; 91,4±8,3 vs. 77,8±2,5), maior nĂșmero de serviços por concepção (P<0,05; 4,4±1,2 vs. 3,6±1,5), maior intervalo parto-concepção (P<0,05; 214,8±25,9 vs. 174,9±7,7) e maior taxa de descarte (P<0,05; 41,2 vs. 21,8%) do que as vacas ciclando. Vacas diagnosticadas com cisto na sĂ©tima semana pĂłs-parto apresentaram recuperação espontĂąnea, embora o intervalo parto-concepção e a taxa de descarte tenham sido maiores para essas vacas.<br>The incidence of ovarian cysts, response to GnRH treatment, and effects on reproductive performance and culling rate of Holstein cows were determined. Ovaries of lactating cows (n=333), were weekly monitored by ultrasound, beginning at fourth week postpartum, to determine the presence of corpus luteum (CL) and follicles greater than 10mm. In the seventh week the cows were classified as cycling (n=248; presence of corpus luteum (CL) in one of the ultrasound evaluations); anovulatory (n=54; absence of CL and follicles less than 25mm), and cystic (n=31; absence of CL and presence of structures greater than 25mm). The cysts cows were distributed in two groups in the seventh week: control group (n=16; without treatment) and treatment group (n=15; cows received one GnRH injection). The recovery rate was 60.0% in treated cows and 87.5% in control cows. The cystic cows had longer average interval from parturition to first AI (P<0.05; 91.4±8.3 vs. 77.8±2.5), higher number of services per conception (P<0.05; 4.4±1.2 vs. 3.6±1.5), longer interval parturition to conception (P<0.05; 214.8± 25.9 vs. 174.9±7.7), and higher percentage of culled cows (P<0.05; 41.2% vs. 21.8%), than cycling cows. Cystic cows without treatment had the same recovery rate as cows treated with GnRH. Cystic cows had longer intervals from parturition to conception, and higher culling rate
