건유기에서 비유기로의 이행기는 젖소에서 위험률이 높은 시기이고 이 시기에 가장 큰 문제가 될 수 있는 것이 유방염이다. 환경성 세균들이 분만 전후기에 가장 문제가 될 수 있는 병원체이다. 대장균군에 속하는 세균들은 경산우에서 심각한 감염을 일으킬 수 있고, 처녀우의 경우는 coagulase-음성 포도상구균에 감염될 가능성이 높다. 분만 전후기 중에는 호르몬이나 기타 요인들로 인해 젖소들의 면역상태가 다소 억압된다. 성공적인 유방염 방제 프로그램은 건유우, 분만우, 및 처녀우의 관리에 초점을 맞춰야 한다. 청결하고 안락한 환경, 적절한 사료공급, 비타민과 미량 원소가 함유된 적절한 사료의 보충이 유방 건강을 유지하는데 필수적이다. 건유 시작할 때 유두관의 폐쇄를 강화하고 케라틴 마개가 형성될 때까지 유두 끝을 세균으로부터 보호해 줄 전략들을 사용해서 분만 후의 유방염 감염 위험을 감소시켜야 한다. 건유기 치료는 상당히 성공적으로 이용되어 왔지만 전체적으로 실시하기 보다는 선택적으로 치료하는 접근법이 권장된다. 환경성 유방염에 감염될 위험이 높은 우군에서는 항생제 이외의 접근법이 건유기 중의 신감염 예방을 위한 유용한 도구가 될 수 있다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of various factors of recipients such as recipient parity, body condition score(BCS), estrus type, corpus luteum, uterine size and uterine horn, on pregnancy and abortion after transfer of in vitro produced Korean Native Cow embryos. The pregnancy rate of nulliparous $(43.5\%)$was significantly higher than that of multiparous $(33.6\%)$, but there were no difference in the abortion rates $(122.6\;vs.\;7.5\%)$. There were no difference in pregnancy among the groups of BCS treatment, but the abortion rate was significantly higher in the group of below BCS $2.0\~3.0\;(55.6\%)$ than the group of BCS $3.0\~3.9\;(10.8\%)$. The pregnancy and abortion rates from the estrus type, corpus luteum, uterine size and uterine hem were not differ among treatment groups.

These studies were carried out to establish an effective in vitro embryo transfer methods by analyzing several factors. The base media were TCM-199 solution for in vitro maturation(IVM) of bovine follicular oocytes and Fer-TALP solution for in vitro fertilization(IVF) and CRlaa medium for in vitro culture(IVC). IVC used the fertilized oocytes of 24-hr culture (day 1)after IVF. Embryos were cultured in drop-culture that contained 25 embryos per 10${mu}ell$. Blastocysts cultured for 7 to 9 in vitro were transferred to recipients. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The pregnancy rate according to different region of embryo transfer were 33.8％, 48.1％, 45.0％ and 35.3％ respectively. 2. The pregnancy rate according to the parity of recipient when embryos were transferred to nulliparous (42.9％) was higher than that of 1∼3nd parlous(36.9％), however there were not show significant difference each other. 3. According to the stage of blastocyst, the pregnancy rate when middle blastocysts (MB) (45.5％) were transferred to recipients were higher than that of late blastocysts (LB) (41.0％). 4. When IVF-derived blastocysts cultured for 7 to 9 day were transferred to recipients, the pregnancy rate was higher 7 day of blastocyst than that of 8 day or 9 day of blastocyst. The results of embryo transfer according to the regions, the parity of recipient and the development stage showed that blastocyst formed for 7day transferred to nulliparou were higher pregnancy rate than others.

These studies were carried out to improve the reproductive efficiency through embryos transfer of Hanwoo IVM/IVF embryos. Following routine IVM/IVF procedure, oocytes and zygotes were cultured far 40 to 44 h in CRlaa medium with BSA. Then 2 to 8-cell embryos were removed the cumulus cell and were cultured in CRlaa medium containing 10% fatal bovine serum and 2.5 mM taurine in 5% $O_2$ and 5% $CO_2$ at 38.5$^{\circ}C$. The fresh embryos of the morulae and blastocysts cultured for 6 to 9 days in vitro or the frozen-thawed embryos were transferred into recipients. The pregnancy rates of the blastocyst produced for 6, 7, 8, and 9 days in vitro culture were 59.4, 68.2, 66.0 and 100%, respectively. In the developmental stage, pregnacy rates of early blastocysts (61.1%), blastocysts(64.7%) and expanded blastocysts(69.5%) were higher than that of morulae stage(20.0%). The pregnancy rates according to the corpus luteum grades of A, B and C in recipients were 73.6, 62.9 and 50.0%, respectively. Effects of donor-recipients synchrony of after day 2, 1 and 0, before day 1 and 2 on the pregnancy rates were 35.7, 65.5, 72.6, 67.9 and 60.0%, respectively. Pregnancy rates of the body condition score of recipients $\leq$2(71.3%) were higher than those of $\geq$3.0 score(40.0%). The pregnancy rates according to the parity of recipients when embryo was transferred to cow(70.6%) was higher than in heifer(59.1%). The pregnancy rates according to hormone treatment before embryo transfer were 69.9% in hCG + GnRH administration group and 63.0% in control group. Fresh and frozen-thawed embryos on the pregnancy rates were 70.6 and 36.4%, respectively. Pregnancy rates in single and AI+single was 90.0% and 64.8%. Pregnancy rates in twin induction was better than in single. These results indicate that pregnancy rates after transfer were affected on the embryo ages, donor-recipient synchrony, body condition score of recipients, corpus luteum status, parity and hormone treatment to recipients.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of ovulation-synchronization(OVSYNCH) method on conception rate after insemination of dairy cattle. The proportion of conception of normal fertility cows(65%) was higher than that in infertility cows(50%) in dairy cows with OVSYNCH treatment. However, there was no significant difference between experimental groups. In another experiment, when the OVSYNCH method was adapted in multiparous dairy cows, the conception rate of experimental group of $30{\sim}35kg/day$ in milk yield was significantly higher than those in groups of $20{\sim}25kg/day$ in milk yield(p<0.05). In conception rates by OVSYNCH method in experimental groups with different parity, the group of 1st parity was significantly higher than in 3rd parity group(p<0.05). The results suggest that conception rate by OVSYNCH method was affected by various reproductive conditions in dairy cattle, and OVSYNCH method could be used to increase the conception rate for infertility cows with hormone disorder.

This study was undertaken to access the effect of collection methods on the collection efficiency, blastocyst rate and pregnancy rate after IVP embryo transfer. The ovaries of Hanwoo were obtained from an abattoir and kept on 25 to $28^{\circ}C$ and transported to laboratory within 4 hrs. The oocytes were collected by aspiration of follicles $(2\~6\;mm)$ with or without slicing of ovaries after aspiration. The oocytes were matured in vitro (IVM) for 20 to 24 hrs in TCM-199 supplemented with $10\%$ fetal bovine serum at $39^{\circ}C$ under $5\%\;CO_{2}$ in air. Following routine IVM/IVF procedure, the oocytes and presumed zygotes were cultured for three day in CRlaa medium with BSA. The cumulus cells at 2 to 8-cell stage of embryos removed then the embryos and were cultured in CRlaa medium containing $10\%$ fetal bovine serum in $5\%\;CO_{2}$ at $39^{\circ}C$. The fresh blastocysts cultured for 7 to 9 days were transferred into recipients. The numbers of oocytes recovered form two different methods, the aspiration and slicing after aspiration, were compared to know what. The number of oocytes per ovary was 8.2 and 6.5 in aspiration combining slicing, and aspiration groups, respectively (p<0.05). The cleavage rate in aspiration method are significantly (p<0.05) high than those in slicing post aspiration $(27.9\%)$, and aspiration $(25.5\%)$. The pregnancy .ate in aspiration method $(62.5\%)$ was high than that in slicing method after aspiration $(54.4\%)$. The pregnancy rates of aspiration method and slicing method after aspiration in nullipara $(58.1\%\;vs\;68.2\%)$ was high than that in pluripara $(49.5\%\;vs\;53.2\%)$. The results obtained that the increased number of oocytes per ovary in slicing method after aspiration could be better than that in aspiration method. Pregnancy rate in aspiration method was slightly higher in than that in slicing method after aspiration.

The objective of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with pregnancy following 3 synchronization protocols in dairy cows. Data were collected on 1,952 cows from 22 dairy farms, including synchronization protocols ($PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ + estradiol benzoate [PG+EB], Ovsynch, and CIDR-ovsynch), cow parity, body condition score (BCS), and dates of previous calving, insemination and conception. The odds ratio (OR) for pregnancy were analyzed by logistic regression using the LOGISTIC procedure in SAS. The analysis revealed that farm (p = 0.005), cow parity (p = 0.0001), BCS (p < 0.005), and AI season (p < 0.05) significantly affected and calving to AI interval tended to affect (p < 0.1) the probability for pregnancy. Although synchronization protocols did not affect the probability for pregnancy (p > 0.05), cow parity and synchronization protocols showed a significant interaction (p < 0.005); the OR (0.60) was significantly lower (p < 0.0001) for multiparous cows compared to primiparous cows using PG+EB, whereas the OR (1.44) tended to be higher (p < 0.1) for multiparous cows compared to primiparous cows using the Ovsynch, and the probability for pregnancy did not differ between multiparous and primiparous cows using the CIDR-ovsynch (p > 0.05). Cows with BCS ${\geq}$ 3.00 were more likely pregnant (OR: 1.41) compared with cows having BCS ${\leq}$ 2.75, whereas cows inseminated during summer had a lower OR (0.73) compared with those inseminated during spring. Cows with a calving to AI interval > 150 days were more likely to be pregnant (OR: 1.20) compared with cows with a calving to AI interval ${\leq}$ 150 days. In conclusion, the OR for pregnancy following synchronization protocols in dairy cows was affected by farm, parity, BCS, calving to AI interval of the cow, and AI season, and there was a significant interaction between cow parity and synchronization protocols; the OR for pregnancy was lower for multiparous cows compared with primiparous cows using the PG+EB protocol.

This study was performed to investigate the improvement of the pregnancy rate of Al or clone embryo transfer on hCG administration in Korean Native heifer. A total of 42 heifers were treated with control, CIDR(withou E2 capsule). hCG after 7 day of hi, the pregnancy rate were spewed 53, 46, 71%. These results were significant different among the treatments(P<0.05). When the hCG were adminstrated at cloned embryo transfer, pregnanacy rate were control, hCG 5.8%, 10.4% respectively and there was no significant different between treatments. Plasma P4 concentration of hCG treatment in heifers were 3 times higher than control on 13~16 day after heat. After this, plasma P4 concentration of CIDR and hCG treated heifers were kept the 2~3 times levels. IGF-I concentration were showed no differences between pregnancy and non-pregnancy. hOG and CIDR. IGF-II concentration were revealed the differences between pregnancy and non-pregnancy in CIDR group but there was no differences in hCG administration group. Plasma cortisol were high at heat and 16 day after heat and CIDR treated group was higher than the other group. These results suggest that hCG administration was improve the pregnancy rates on Al and cloned ET, accompanying the incline of P4 concentration.
