Abstract:
The present research work was carried out to observe fertility response of the sex sorted semen in crossbred pubertal heifers and cattle. A total 20 crossbred heifers and 20 pluriparous cows were selected for the present study. Animals were divided into four equal groups. The GPG + G protocol was used in all four groups. Inj. GnRH @ 20 mcg on day 0, inj. PGF2α @ 2 ml on day 7, inj. GnRH@ 10 mcg administered on day 9 and inj. GnRH @10 mcg at the time of A.I. on day 10, FTAI was performed 24 h after the second GnRH injection. Group I (n=10) was included pubertal heifers and inseminated with sex sorted semen. Group II (n=10) was carried out pubertal heifers and inseminated with conventional semen, Group III (n=10) was inseminated sex sorted semen in pluriparous cows and Group IV (n=10) used conventional semen in pluriparous cows. Duration of estrus was observed as 25.2±4.54, 24.60±2.27, 20.2±1.87, 30.00±2.68 hrs in Group I, II, III and IV, respectively. The overall conceptions achieved in present research by use of sex sorted semen and conventional semen was 50.00, 70.00, 70.00 and 80.00 per cent in pubertal heifers and pluriparous cows, respectively.
Highlights
- GPG+G protocol can be effectively used for estrus induction in anoestrus pubertal heifers and pluriparous cows.
- Sex sorted semen resulted in lower conception rate than conventional semen in pubertal heifers and pluriparous cows.
