Abstract
Goats are generally called a "poor man's cow" because they not only provide meat and milk but also other assistance to their owners, including skins for leather production and their waste, which can be used as compost for fertilizer. Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) is an important process in embryo biotechnology, as it increases the contribution of superior female goats to breeding operations. The field of assisted reproductive biotechnologies has seen notable progress. However, unlike in cattle, the standard use of superovulation and other reproductive biotechnologies has not been widely implemented for goats. Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors can alter the superovulatory response, significantly restricting the practicability of MOET technology. The use of techniques to induce superovulation is a crucial step in embryo transfer (ET), as it accelerates the propagation of animals with superior genetics for desirable traits. Furthermore, the conventional superovulation techniques based on numerous injections are not appropriate for animals and are labor-intensive as well as expensive. Different approaches and alternatives have been applied to obtain the maximum ovarian response, including immunization against inhibin and the day-0 protocol for the synchronization of the first follicular wave. While there are several studies available in the literature on superovulation in cattle, research on simplified superovulation in goats is limited; only a few studies have been conducted on this topic. This review describes the various treatments with gonadotropin that are used for inducing superovulation in various dairy goat breeds worldwide. The outcomes of these treatments, in terms of ovulation rate and recovery of transferrable embryos, are also discussed. Furthermore, this review also covers the recovery of oocytes through repeated superovulation from the same female goat that is used for somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).

Influence of eCG and breed on the number of oocytes collected and the production of in vitro embryos of young goats during the reproductive season. Trop Anim Health Prod 2019; 51:2521-2527. [PMID: 31209690 DOI: 10.1007/s11250-019-01972-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2019] [Accepted: 06/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of breed and equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) on ovarian response and in vitro embryo production from young goats. Thirty-one (12 Alpine, 10 Nubian, and 9 Saanen) were randomly assigned into three treatments of eCG (T1, 0 IU; T2, 500 IU; and T3, 1000 IU). Alpine goats showed the highest amount and largest size of follicles (P = 0.003). The effect of eCG dose 24 h post application was significant (P < 0.05), and was superior in goats undergoing T2. The aspiration rate of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) was 34% (P > 0.05), except for percentage of denuded oocytes, which obtained the highest number (P = 0.003) in the Saanen goats. The same difference was found (P = 0.02) in oocytes grade III in T2 and T3, with 42.5 and 37.9% respectively. In vitro embryo production was 80.0% of IVF/cleavage in the Alpine goats (P = 0.003). Embryo production was the greatest for T2 (69.2%; P = 0.004). T3 goats had higher percentage of morula stage (66.6%; P = 0.030). It is concluded that the application of eCG has a significant effect on the ovarian status, and quality and quantity of embryos with a differential response depending on the breed.

Theriogenology 2018; 121:188-195.

Abstract
The objective of the current study was to investigate the effect of subluteal progesterone environment on the efficacy of the ovarian responses in goats passively immunized against endogenous inhibin. Twelve cycling female Shiba goats were synchronized using two doses of prostaglandin F2α 11 days apart. After detection of ovulation (D0, by ultrasonography), goats were randomly assigned into 2 groups: (1) Subluteal P4 group (SLP; n = 6), treated with a previously once-used controlled intravaginal progesterone-releasing device (ou-CIDR) intravaginal from D 6 to D 12 concurrently with a luteolytic dose of PGF2α at D6 (2) Normal Luteal P4 group (NLP; n = 6), had neither ou-CIDR nor PGF2α. In both groups, goats were treated with an intravenous injection of 10 ml of inhibin antiserum at D10. After that, another luteolytic dose of PGF2α was administrated to goats in both groups at D12, and withdrawal of ou-CIDR in the SLP group. Detection of estrous behavior was checked again 24 h following PGF2α administration and or ou-CIDR withdrawal at 8 h intervals with a teaser buck. The follicle populations ≥4 mm in each goat were monitored through transrectal ultrasonography daily from 1 day after inhibin antiserum administration (0 h) and continued until ovulation had been detected (disappearance of large dominant follicles by ultrasonography). In addition, a repeated ultrasonographic scanning was performed 7 days after ovulation, and the ovulation rate had been estimated by counting the number of observed corpora lutea by ultrasonography. Blood samples were collected for measurement of plasma circulating inhibin binding activity, FSH, LH, estradiol (E2), and progesterone (P4) in both groups. Results revealed significant increases in maximum diameter of the preovulatory follicles (5.92 ± 0.17 mm vs 5.31 ± 0.26 mm; P < 0.05), and the mean maximum number of follicles ≥ 4 mm in diameter (18.45 ± 3.40 vs 12.15 ± 6.21; P < 0.05) in the SLP group compared with that of the NPL group. No significant differences were observed between both groups in term of inhibin binding activity %, and FSH. Following immunization, significant increases in the concentrations of circulating LH (at 72 h) and E2 (from 48 to 84 h) were noted in the SLP group as compared with the values obtained from the goats in the NLP group. Moreover, significant increases in ovulation rate (13.85 ± 1.40 vs 5.67 ± 2.10; P < 0.01) and subsequent P4 concentrations (from 192 to 288 h) were found in the SLP group as against those of the NLP group. In conclusion, maintaining a subluteal P4 environment concurrently with passive immunization against endogenous inhibin may improve the superovulatory response in female Shiba goats.

ASIAN-AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCES 2014; 27:1270-4. [PMID: 25178370 PMCID: PMC4150193 DOI: 10.5713/ajas.2013.13786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2013] [Revised: 02/16/2014] [Accepted: 04/14/2014] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of porcine follicle stimulating hormone (pFSH) dosage based on body weight (BW) on ovarian responses of crossbred does. Thirty donor does were divided into 3 groups getting pFSH dosages of 3, 5, and 8 mg pFSH per kg BW, respectively, and were named as pFSH-3, pFSH-5 and pFSH-8, respectively. Estrus was synchronized by inserting a controlled internal drug release (CIDR) device and a single injection of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α). The pFSH treatments were administered twice a day through 6 decreasing dosages (25, 25, 15, 15, 10, and 10% of total pFSH amount; decreasing daily). Ovarian responses were evaluated on Day 7 after CIDR removal. After CIDR removal, estrus was observed 3 times in a day and pFSH treatments were initiated at 2 days before the CIDR removal. All does in pFSH-5 and pFSH-8 showed estrus signs while half of the does in pFSH-3 showed estrus signs. No differences (p>0.05) were observed on the corpus luteum and total ovarian stimulation among the treatment groups, while total and transferable embryos were higher (p<0.05) in pFSH-5 (7.00 and 6.71) than pFSH-3 (3.00 and 2.80) and pFSH-8 (2.00 and 1.50), respectively. In conclusion, 5 mg pFSH per kg BW dosage gave a higher number of embryos than 3 and 8 mg pFSH per kg BW dosages. The results indicated that the dosage of pFSH based on BW is an important consideration for superovulation in goats.
