종빈돈의 번식효율 증진을 위해 후보종빈돈의 분만후 포유기간, 등지방두께 등이 번식능력에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사ㆍ분석하여 우수한 후보 종빈돈의 조기선발에 활용코자 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 분만모돈의 포유기간이 17∼21일일 때에 등지방두께는 19.19mm였고, 포유기간이 22∼26일 일때에는 16.52mm로 포유기간이 길수록 분만모돈의 이유시 등지방두께는 유의적으로 얇았다.(p<0.01). 2. 분만모돈의 포유기간이 17∼21일인 경우에 발정재귀일은 5.76일, 22∼26일인 경우 5.62일로 포유기간에 따른 차이는 없었다. 3. 분만모돈의 이유후 등지방두께가 13∼16mm인 경우에 발정재귀일은 5.69일, 17∼20mm인 경우 5.67일, 21∼23mm인 경우 5.75일로 이유후 등지방 두께는 발정재귀일에 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 4. 혈중 estradiol 의 농도는 분만시 28.49pg/$m\ell$, 이유시 12.29pg/$m\ell$, 발정재귀시 16.52pg/$m\ell$ 이었으며, 혈중 progesterone의 농도는 분만시 1.50 ng/$m\ell$, 이유시 0.69 ng/$m\ell$, 발정재귀시 0.94ng/$m\ell$ 수준이었고, 혈중 cortisol 의 농도는 분만시 57.74ng/$m\ell$, 이유시 43.01ng/$m\ell$, 발정재귀시 47.89ng/$m\ell$이었으며, estradiol, progesterone 및 cortisol 의 혈중농도는 분만시가 가장 높은 수준으로 나타났다.

Body condition score (BCS) is a useful management tool for distinguishing differences in nutritional needs of cows in the herd. Although it is not always possible to quantify the nutrient content of the feed supplied to the donor cow, the nutritional status can be determined by the BCS. The objective of this study was to evaluate in vivo embryo production, return to estrous of donor and pregnancy rate of recipients following BCS in Hanwoo superovulation. Sixty nine Hanwoo donor cows were flushed on day 7 of estrus cycle with same FSH and artificial insemination by the same technicians. Embryos were recovered on 7 days after the third insemination by flushing the uterus with Embryo Collection Medium. The results obtained were as follows: No differences were observed in the efficiency of superovulation rates regardless of BCS ($${\leq_-}2.0$$, 2.5 to 3.0, and $${\geq_-}3.5$$). The mean number of total embryos was each $5.20{\pm}0.86$, $11.56{\pm}1.04$, and $6.23{\pm}1.07$. The mean number of transferable embryo from $${\leq_-}2.0$$, 2.5 to 3.0, and $${\geq_-}3.5$$ of BCS was $2.60{\pm}0.87$, $7.94{\pm}0.89$, and $4.75{\pm}1.32$, respectively (p<0.05). Return to estrous regardless of donor BCS was no difference. The pregnancy rates of recipient were BCS $${\leq_-}2.0$$ 11.76%, 2.5 to 3.0 40.79%, and $${\geq_-}3.5$$ 11.11%, following transfer of fresh embryos produced in vivo, respectively. These results indicate that if the Hanwoo with BCS 2.5 to 3.3 are used for donor and recipient, the embryo production and the conception rate will be greater.

The objective of this study was investigate the superovulation treatment and to relate concentrations of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) in Hanwoo donors. Thirty six, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR. Four days later, the animals were superovulated with a total of 28AU FSH (Antorin, 2AU=1 ml) administered twice daily in constant doses over 4 days. On the 3th administration of FSH, CIDR was withdrawn and 25 mg $PGF_2a$ was administered. Cows were artificially inseminated twice after estrous detection at 12 hr intervals. The cows received $100\;{\mu}g$ GnRH at the time of 1st insemination. Embryos were recovered 7 or 8 days after the 1st insemination. Cows with BUN <10, 11~18 and ${\geq}$19 mg/dl had return of estrus of 34.6, 30.5 and 30.4 days respectively. Return of estrus after superovulation treatment was not significantly lower for cows with blood urea nitrogen (BUN) above 10 mg/dl than for cows with BUN below 10 mg/dl. Cows with BUN <10, 11~18 and ${\geq}$19 mg/dl had number of transferable embryos of $3.2{\pm}1.2$, $5.4{\pm}1.9$ and $4.1{\pm}2.1$ respectively.

Information on certain reproductive traits were obtained from field material. The data for this study were taken from 1,111 breeding records of 273 cows and 193 heifers at Koheung, Chonnam, during the period 1979 to 1984. The cattle were bred by artificial insemination; only one or two cattle were reared by one farmer. The heifers were first bred at 551.75 days after they were born; they were pregnant at 569.06 days after birth. The average estrous cycle length was 21 days; the average number of inseminations per conception was 1.56. The non-return rate for first inseminations for cows and heifers was 62.5% and 59.6%, respectively. The gestation length was 285.79 days. Of 1,111 viable calved born 582 were male, giving a sex ratio of 100:110. The average length between calving and first insemination was 88.9 days; average calving interval was 397.69 days.
