Effects of different estrus treatments and protein nutritional supplementation on estrus rate and blood hormone levels of Oula sheep in grazing during the non-estrus season
摘要
Abstract
[Objective]Oula sheep are an important meat-purpose breed of Tibetan sheep on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.However,due to pasture shortages during the long cold season and their seasonal estrus pattern,the estrus rate of grazing Oula sheep during the non-estrus season is extremely low,which severely limits batch production and farming efficiency.This study therefore sought to identify a cost-effective and easy-to-apply estrus synchronization protocol for grazing Oula sheep at the end of the cold season that would provide technical support for batch reproduction.[Methods]The study was conducted at a hornless Oula sheep cooperative in Henan Mongolian Autonomous County,Huangnan Prefecture,Qinghai Province.A total of 160 healthy,multiparous,2.5-year-old hornless Oula ewes with similar body weights were randomly assigned to 16 groups of 10 animals each.Four nutritional levels were compared:natural grazing alone,and natural grazing supplemented with concentrates containing 16%,18%or 20%crude protein.Three estrus synchronization protocols were also applied:two injections of cloprostenol(PG);insertion of a flurogestone acetate sponge(Progesterone-releasing intravaginal device,PRID)combined with a PG injection;and an injection of gonadorelin(Gonadotropin-releasing hormone,GnRH)combined with a PG injection.The experiment lasted 10 days.Blood samples were collected at the beginning and end of the experiment,and serum concentrations of estradiol(E2),progesterone(P),luteinizing hormone(LH)and follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Estrus rates were determined at the end of the experiment by teasing with a ram.[Results]Under natural grazing conditions during the non-estrus season,Oula sheep did not show estrus(0%estrus rate).After concentrate supplementation,natural estrus began to appear.Supplementation with 18%or higher protein concentrate increased the natural estrus rate to 30%.Treatment with exogenous hormones alone under natural grazing conditions produced estrus rates of 30%-40%.Combining nutritional supplementation with estrus synchronization treatment further increased estrus rates,with the highest rate(60%)observed in the group that received 18%protein supplementation combined with the GnRH+PG protocol.Hormone measurements revealed no significant differences in serum E2 or LH concentrations among the groups(P>0.05).The GnRH+PG group had significantly higher serum FSH concentrations than the other groups(P<0.05),while the PRID+PG group had significantly higher serum P concentrations than the other groups(P<0.05).[Conclusion]At the end of the cold season on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,short-term supplementation with 18%or higher protein concentrate effectively induces natural estrus in Oula sheep during the non-estrus season,but the resulting estrus rate remains modest.Adding exogenous hormone treatment to nutritional supplementation improves the estrus rate further.The combination of short-term 18%protein supplementation with the GnRH+PG protocol achieves approximately 60%estrus synchronization at a manageable cost and is recommended for batch reproduction of grazing Oula sheep during the non-estrus season.关键词
