Description

Method for improving cow breeding efficiency
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for improving cow breeding efficiency.
Background
Cattle are single-fetus animals, and have longer breeding cycle and lower breeding rate in a natural state. Usually 2 fetuses and 1 calf in 3 years, and 1 fetuses and two calves and 1 fetuses and 3 calves are occasionally observed. If calculated according to the reproductive age of 10 years of cow, the cow can only leave 7-8 offspring at most in one birth. For cows, only 3-4 female calves are left. The primary matching age of a replacement cow with normal development is generally 1.5-2 years old, the oestrus cycle is generally 21 days, and the pregnancy period is generally 280 days. From the reproductive characteristics and the reproductive cycle of the cattle, the cattle have the basic conditions of 1 birth and more calves in 1 year. Therefore, the research and development of the method for improving the breeding efficiency of the cows and realizing 1-birth and more calves in 1 year has very important significance for improving the cow breeding benefit.
The prior art mainly has two kinds: firstly, Artificial Insemination (AI) + Embryo Transfer (ET) technique; secondly, an exogenous hormone induction method: the use of gonadotropins such as: pregnant Mare Serum (PMSG), Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), trihexyphenidyl hormone (ITC), anti-gonadotropin serum (anti-PMSG) and the like. Two prior art techniques.
The technical scheme of the prior art I is as follows:
the technical scheme of Artificial Insemination (AI) and Embryo Transplantation (ET) is that artificial insemination is carried out on the 1 st day after the cow is in heat (the 0 th day on the heat day) to ensure that the cow is pregnant, and 1 embryo (both fresh embryo and frozen embryo) is transplanted on the opposite side of the uterine horn on the pregnant side (namely, the uterine horn on the opposite side of the corpus luteum) on the 7 th day so as to achieve the purpose of improving the reproductive rate of the cow.
The first prior art has the following defects:
the technical scheme of Artificial Insemination (AI) + Embryo Transfer (ET) has the following disadvantages: firstly, artificial insemination can not ensure the pregnancy of cows; secondly, rectal examination is needed when embryo transfer is carried out on the 7 th day to judge whether the artificial insemination is pregnant and the position of pregnancy (the left side or the right side of the uterine horn) so as to determine the position of embryo transfer (the opposite side of the uterine horn on the pregnant side, namely, the uterine horn on the opposite side of the corpus luteum). This procedure is susceptible to abortion in pregnant cows; thirdly, if the artificial insemination is pregnant, the cervix of the cow is in a contraction and closing state, at the moment, a transplantation gun is not easy to pass through the cervix during embryo transplantation, the transplantation difficulty is increased, bacteria are easy to invade the uterus, and further abortion is caused, so that the abortion is avoided.
The technical scheme of the prior art II is as follows:
the exogenous hormone induction method mainly utilizes injection of gonadotropins such as: pregnant Mare Serum (PMSG), Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), triplet hormone (ITC), anti-gonadotropin serum (anti-PMSG) and the like induce the cow to discharge a plurality of eggs in one ovulation period, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the high reproduction rate of the cow.
The second prior art has the following defects:
the exogenous hormone induction method has the following defects: firstly, exogenous hormones are various in types, different in components and different in effects, so that the selection is difficult; secondly, due to the existence of individual differences of cows, the dosage cannot be accurately controlled, namely the use effect cannot be ensured; thirdly, the specific ovulation number cannot be accurately known after the exogenous hormone is used, and once the ovulation number exceeds 2 (most of the ovulation number exceeds 2), the probability of pregnancy abortion is greatly improved.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to effectively solve the problems of high operation difficulty and easy artificial abortion in the prior art; the second prior art has the technical problems that the hormone types are difficult to select, the dosage is difficult to control, and multiple abortion occurs.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts a double-embryo transfer technical scheme, namely: the technical proposal of transplanting 2 embryos to a recipient cow at a time by using an embryo transplantation technology is utilized, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the breeding efficiency of cows.
A method for improving the reproductive efficiency of cows comprises the following steps:
step 1: obtaining an embryo;
step 2: receptor cow in-phase estrus PG method: the contemporaneous estrus of the recipient cow is kept consistent with that of the donor cow in time, namely PG is injected intramuscularly at a dose of 2/head in the morning on the 12 th day, the 26 th day and the 27 th day respectively, and the estrus is observed and recorded on the 28 th to 29 th days;
and step 3: loading the embryo into a tube;
and 4, step 4: gun loading and transplanting:
1) loading the tubule filled with 2 embryos into a transplantation gun, wherein a sleeve is externally arranged outside the transplantation gun, and a soft plastic outer sleeve is externally arranged outside the sleeve;
2) 2 embryos are transplanted into a recipient cow which is processed by estrus synchronization by using a rectal grasping method, wherein the recipient cow is located at a position which is 1/2-1/4 deep from the top of a uterine horn. The action is gentle during the transplantation, so as to avoid the bleeding caused by the puncture of the cervix and the uterus. The transplantation time is controlled to be completed within 5 min as much as possible;
and 5: managing a recipient cow after transplantation:
factors such as the nutritional level and the stress of the transplanted recipient cattle can influence the conception rate. Therefore, in addition to the well-done regular feeding management, the following points should be noted:
1) the transplanted receptor cattle and other cattle are bred in groups;
2) the nutrition requirement is ensured, and the successful pregnancy and calving after transplantation are ensured;
3) and (5) paying attention to the condition of returning to the emotion and carrying out pregnancy check in time. The pregnancy and the fetal number of the receptor cows can be confirmed by adopting a B ultrasonic or rectal examination method within 28 to 60 days after transplantation;
4) the non-pregnant recipient cattle determined by pregnancy examination should be bred or transplanted in time.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below:
a method for improving cow breeding efficiency comprises the following specific operation steps:
first, embryo acquisition
The embryo can be obtained by the following 3 ways:
(one) purchase of frozen embryos, requiring: grade a embryos.
And (II) adopting a grade A embryo and/or a grade B embryo obtained by flushing the donor cow living body embryo on the 7 th day after superovulation and artificial insemination.
The operation procedure is as follows:
1. selection of donor cows: young cows with age of 2-5 years, strong constitution, complete development of reproductive organs and no reproductive system diseases or cows with 1 birth are selected as donors.
2. Donor cow estrus synchronization (PG method), superovulation and artificial insemination procedures: PG was injected intramuscularly at 2/head dose on day 1. PG (chloroprostenol) was again injected intramuscularly at 2/head dose on day 12. FSH (gonadotropin, produced in Canada, size 20ml, 700 mg) was injected 1 time per 3 ml/head muscle at 7 am and 7 pm on day 24. On day 25, FSH was administered 1 time by 2.5 ml/head 7 o' clock in the morning and at the evening. FSH is injected for 1 time at 7 points in the morning of 26 days according to the volume of 2 ml/head muscle; FSH is injected 1 time per head muscle at 2 ml/2M/head, and PG is injected 1 time per head at 7 pm. FSH is injected 1 time and PG is injected 1 time at 7 points of the morning at 1 ml/head muscle and 2 times per head on day 27; FSH was injected 1 time per 1 ml/head muscle at 7 o' clock night. On days 28-29, estrus was observed and artificial insemination was performed on the estrus cows (day of artificial insemination scored as 0 day). Intramuscular injection was performed on day 29 with a third 20-30. mu.g/head.
3. And (3) embryo punching: viable embryo flushing was performed on day 35 (day 7 after artificial insemination).
(1) Donor cattle baoding: the donor cattle were driven to a holding rack for holding.
(2) Rectal examination and vulvar washing: cleaning up the feces of the fixed donor cattle rectum, checking the development condition of the ovary corpus luteum on two sides, and recording the number (aiming at conveniently judging the number of embryos when the embryos are washed and checked). The vulva of the donor cattle is thoroughly cleaned by toilet paper or clear water (soap water), physiological saline and the like, and then is disinfected by spraying alcohol with an alcohol watering can.
(3) And (3) dilating cervix: for young cows, because the cervix is tightly closed, a dilating rod is used to dilate the cervix in order to draw mucus and the vas deferens into the uterus. For a multiparous cow, this step may be optional depending on rectal examination. The principle is that the mucus pump and the embryo washing tube can smoothly pass through the cervix to reach the corresponding position of the uterus.
(4) Extracting mucus: an operator slowly inserts the clean mucus pump into the cervix of a donor cow through the vagina, and an assistant rapidly pumps out the handle of the mucus pump (similar to the handle of an injector), so that the mucus pump hose instantly forms vacuum negative pressure, mucus in the cervix and the uterus is sucked into the mucus pump hose, and the mucus pump is slowly pumped out of the cervix. This step can be repeated 1-2 times according to mucus extraction condition until mucus is substantially extracted.
(5) Anesthesia: 4ml of procaine hydrochloride (or other anesthetic) was injected into the second and third caudal vertebra cavities to locally anesthetize the donor cows. The judgment standard of anesthesia success is as follows: after a few minutes of anesthetic injection, the cow tail is gently shaken left and right without resistance, which indicates that the anesthesia is successful. If there is resistance, the anesthetic dose needs to be increased until the anesthesia succeeds.
(6) Inserting a blank punching tube: the special embryo-washing tube is slowly passed through cervix via rectum and inserted into uterine horn. When the uterine horn is near the thin part of the uterine horn, the guide steel core in the embryo washing pipe is slowly drawn out by 10-15cm, so that the rubber pipe at the front section of the embryo washing pipe becomes flexible to adapt to the natural bending of the uterine horn. When the embryo-washing tube reaches the corresponding position (the deeper the embryo-washing tube reaches the thinner part of uterine horn, the better), 10-15 ml of air is injected through the air hole of the embryo-washing tube by using a 20ml injector (the specific injected air quantity is determined according to the thickness of cervix), the operation aim is to enable the balloon at the front end of the embryo-washing tube to be full, the outward outlet of the cervix is blocked, the embryo-washing liquid can be discharged into the funnel only through the embryo-washing tube, and the embryo is convenient to collect. Then the blanking tube is slowly drawn out to guide the steel core.
(7) Connecting a blank punching pipe and a funnel by using a three-way pipe: one end of the three-way pipe is connected with a blank punching pipe, one end of the three-way pipe is connected with a blank collecting funnel, the other end of the three-way pipe is reserved for injecting blank punching liquid, and the joints of all parts are screwed down.
(8) And (3) embryo punching: after the connection between the embryo punching tube and the three-way tube is finished, the tube at the end of the embryo collecting funnel is clamped by hemostatic forceps (the sawtooth part at the tip is tied up by medical white tape so as to avoid damaging the transparent tube). At this time, a large-size syringe (100 ml) is used for extracting the embryo-flushing liquid (constant-temperature water bath at 37.6 ℃ and about 60 ml) to be connected with the opening of the connecting hose, the liquid is slightly pumped back (aiming at exhausting the air in the embryo-flushing pipe as much as possible), and then the embryo-flushing liquid is slowly injected into the uterus until the injection resistance is slightly reached. Then the hemostatic forceps are loosened, the hose connected with the injector is clamped, the embryo flushing liquid in the uterus is enabled to flow back to the embryo collecting funnel, and the operation is repeatedly carried out for a plurality of times (the injection speed in the later period can be accelerated, which is similar to the process of flushing the uterus with the embryo flushing liquid, so that the free embryos (the best embryo flushing time is about 7 days after the hybridization, the embryos are not implanted in the uterus at this time) flow back to the embryo collecting funnel along with the embryo flushing liquid, and 30-50 ml is injected each time). About 500 ml of embryo-flushing liquid is used in the whole process. After the completion, an injector (20 ml) is connected to the blast hole of the embryo-washing tube to lead the air at the front end of the embryo-washing tube to flow back, the injector is slightly drawn out to facilitate the expansion of the balloon at the front end of the embryo-washing tube, the embryo-washing tube is slowly drawn out, the front end of the embryo-washing tube is lifted, and the embryo-washing liquid in the tube completely enters the embryo collecting funnel. The embryo collecting funnel is taken down, the donor cow number and the embryo uterine horn (left and right) are marked on the funnel cover by a marking pen, and then the embryo is sent to be detected.
