Thirty-nine nulliparous and cyclic free-ranging Anglo-nubian goats were synchronized using 60 mg MAP intravaginal sponges for 10 days and 50 g cloprostenol treatment, 48 h before sponge removal (SR). Goats were allocated to 3 groups with 13 animals in each group. The treatment groups, Insulin 0.14 and Insulin 0.20 were treated subcutaneously, for 3 consecutive days – beginning 48 h before SR, with 0.14 IU/kg BW/day or 0.2 IU/kg BW/day of a long-acting insulin, respectively. The Control group received a 0.5 ml saline solution (s.c.). The goats were monitored for the occurrence of estrus and mated at the onset of estrus and 24 h later. Transrectal ultrasonography was used to monitor the ovarian follicular dynamics, ovulation rate and diagnose pregnancy. Blood samples were collected from 48 h before SR to the 12th day of pregnancy for plasma insulin determinations. Insulin administration exhibited an increase (p < 0.05) in animals with plasma insulineamia. Insulin treated goats recorded a higher (p < 0.05) ovulation rate, when compared to saline control treated goats (1.7 ± 0.23 vs 1.0 ± 0.21). Nulliparous does from the Insulin 0.14 group recorded large follicles at 0, 12 and 18 h of the estrous period (p < 0.05), a more efficient synchronization of ovulation (p < 0.05) and larger size CLs (p < 0.05). It was concluded that administration in insulin induced a positive effect on ovarian response in nulliparous goats. Furthermore, in these animals the reproductive performance appeared to be independent of the increase of insulin dosage.

Abstract
Thirty-nine nulliparous and cyclic free-ranging Anglo-nubian goats were synchronized using 60 mg MAP intravaginal sponges for 10 days and 50 g cloprostenol treatment, 48 h before sponge removal (SR). Goats were allocated to 3 groups with 13 animals in each group. The treatment groups, Insulin 0.14 and Insulin 0.20 were treated subcutaneously, for 3 consecutive days – beginning 48 h before SR, with 0.14 IU/kg BW/day or 0.2 IU/kg BW/day of a long-acting insulin, respectively. The Control group received a 0.5 ml saline solution (s.c.). The goats were monitored for the occurrence of estrus and mated at the onset of estrus and 24 h later. Transrectal ultrasonography was used to monitor the ovarian follicular dynamics, ovulation rate and diagnose pregnancy. Blood samples were collected from 48 h before SR to the 12th day of pregnancy for plasma insulin determinations. Insulin administration exhibited an increase (p < 0.05) in animals with plasma insulineamia. Insulin treated goats recorded a higher (p < 0.05) ovulation rate, when compared to saline control treated goats (1.7 ± 0.23 vs 1.0 ± 0.21). Nulliparous does from the Insulin 0.14 group recorded large follicles at 0, 12 and 18 h of the estrous period (p < 0.05), a more efficient synchronization of ovulation (p < 0.05) and larger size CLs (p < 0.05). It was concluded that administration in insulin induced a positive effect on ovarian response in nulliparous goats. Furthermore, in these animals the reproductive performance appeared to be independent of the increase of insulin dosage.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
