Administração de acetato de melengestrol após inseminação artificial em tempo fixo em vacas Nelore lactantes

Resumo

The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of administration of Melengestrol Acetate (MGA® Premix) after FTAI, on the conception rate in lactating Nelore breed cows. Experiment I, assessed the effect of administration of 2.28 g MGA/cow/day, from day 13 (D13) until day 18 (D18) after FTAI. The cow were divided into two groups, Group I (n=83, control) that cows were submitted just to FTAI and Group II (n=104, treated) that cows received MGA after FTAI. Experiment II, assessed the effect of administration of 2.28g MGA/cow/day, from day 5 (D5) until day 10 (D10) after FTAI. The cow were divided into two groups, Group I (n=94, control) that cows were submitted just to FTAI and Group II (n=100, treated) that cows received MGA after FTAI. Gestation was diagnosed in both experiments 45 days after FTAI. The conception rates were analyzed by Qui-Square test. In experiment I, The conception rates were 42,16% for control group and 50,0% for treated group (p>0,05). In Experiment II, the conception rate of control group (47,87%) was higher than treated group (28,0%). It was conclude that administration of MGA®Premix from D13 until D18 after FTAI didn’t affect the conception rate. However, when administered from D5 until D10, reduced the conception rate in lactating Nelore breed cows.
