▼ Infertility in beef and dairy cattle costs millions of dollars each year to the animal agriculture industry. The microbiome of the reproductive tract has been indicated to have an effect on pregnancy establishment and maintenance in humans, however the bovine reproductive microbiome and its effect on fertility is not well understood. The objective of the current study is to evaluate bacterial communities of the uterus and vagina of postpartum beef cows undergoing estrous synchronization to determine differences in cows who will become pregnant and those who fail to conceive to fixed time artificial insemination (FTAI). Thirty Angus cows at an average of 82 days postpartum were subjected to a 7 Day Co-Synch protocol with a pre-synchronization step 21 days prior to FTAI (d -21). Uterine and vaginal flushes were collected at each day of the protocol for pH detection and bacterial DNA extraction and sequencing targeting the V1-V3 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene. Pregnancy diagnosis occurred on d 30 by transrectal ultrasound where ten non-pregnant and ten pregnant cows were selected for sequencing. Results indicated a significant decrease between d -9 and d -2 in the number of bacterial species in the uterus of pregnant and non-pregnant cows (P < 0.0001). Many significant differences in relative abundance of bacteria phyla and genera were detected between pregnant and non-pregnant cows and over the duration of the protocol. Many bacteria, such as the common pathogenic bacteria Cornyebacterium, had relative abundances greater than 1% at d -2 in the uterus of non-pregnant cows, but present in less than 1% in the uterus of pregnant cows (P < 0.05). When evaluating pH, uterine pH was lower than vaginal pH on average. Although not significant, uterine pH decreased in pregnant cows and increased in non-pregnant cows through the duration of the estrous synchronization protocol. In conclusion, our data suggests the bovine reproductive tract microbiome fluctuates over time and differences in bacterial species abundances may affect reproductive outcomes.

▼ Consumption of toxic endophyte-infected (E+) tall fescue pastures is known to have a negative impact on bull reproductive performance. Since decreased cleavage rates of embryos fertilized with spermatozoa from bulls grazing E+ tall fescue pastures have been observed in several studies using differing sets of bulls, technicians, pastures, and other methods of inducing tall fescue toxicosis (ergotamine tartrate), it is hypothesized that spermatozoa function from bulls grazing E+ is impaired in ways undetectable by gross semen examination. During a three-month grazing study, 6 Angus bulls were utilized to determine the effects of grazing E+ tall fescue pastures on growth performance and spermatozoa function. Bulls were appointed to graze Kentucky 31 tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) infected with Neotyphodium coenophialum, an ergot alkaloid producing endophyte (n=3) or Jesup tall fescue infected with non-ergot alkaloid producing endophyte (NTE) MaxQ^TM (n=3). Bulls were grouped by body weight (BW) and scrotal circumference (SC) to graze pastures from April 18-June 26, 2007. Blood samples, BW, SC, semen, and rectal temperatures (RT) were collected every 7 d. Scrotal temperatures (ST) were obtained before semen collection each week in June. Semen was evaluated for gross motility, morphology, and Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) parameters. Semen from a subset of bulls (n=2 per treatment) was used to assess spermatozoa ability to function utilizing in vitro assays. Growth performance was decreased in E+ bulls compared to bulls grazing NTE tall fescue pastures (P = 0.002). Concentrations of prolactin were reduced in bulls grazing E+ compared to bulls grazing NTE tall fescue pastures (P = 0.055). Motility post-thaw and during a 3-hour stress test were decreased (P = 0.024 and P < 0.0001, respectively), in addition to altered CASA parameters for spermatozoa. Penetration was reduced in oocytes fertilized with spermatozoa from bulls grazing E+ (64.54 ± 3.28%) compared to NTE tall fescue pastures (87.42 ± 1.63%, P < 0.0001) coupled with hastened meiotic completion, and reduced intracellular calcium parameters. These findings indicate impaired spermatozoa function in bulls grazing E+ tall fescue pastures that extends beyond gross semen characteristics, and may provide direction for future studies.

▼ The objective of this study was to compare fertility of sex-sorted semen in lactating cows using a voluntary waiting period (VWP) of approximately 55 days (VWP55) or 85 days (VWP85). At 21 days in milk (DIM), cows were randomly assigned to begin estrus synchronization at 55 or 85 DIM. Only cows confirmed cyclic by 55 DIM were synchronized. At 55 or 85 DIM, cows [VWP55 (n=44); VWP85 (n=45)] having a corpus luteum (CL) were administered PGF_2α[two alpha]. Estrus was monitored continuously by the HeatWatch® [registered sign] system (HW) and by twice daily visual observation seven days following each PGF_2α. Cows exhibiting estrus were artificially inseminated with sex-sorted Holstein semen using one of two different bulls having similar sire conception rates. After 14 days, PGF_2α was administered to any cow that did not exhibit estrus. Cows not responding to either PGF_2αadministration were administered GnRH and a controlled intravaginal drug releasing device (CIDR). Seven days later, CIDR was removed and PGF_2α was administered. Pregnancy determination occurred 28 to 35 days after AI and was monitored at 60, 80, and 150 days. No difference in overall percentage of cows expressing estrus (79.55% and 77.78%, P = 0.8393), hours to estrus following either the first or all PGF_2αadministrations (65.79 h and 72.65 h, P = 0.4908; 62.28 h and 73.00 h, P = 0.2218, respectively), number of mounts (9.05 and 10.54, P = 0.5246), average mount duration (4.59 s and 4.99 s, P = 0.2602), and total estrus length (8.16 h and 9.17 h, P = 0.6389) was observed between VWP55 and VWP85 cows. Conception rates 30 days after AI were significantly higher for VWP85 cows compared to VWP55 (51.43% vs. 22.86%, respectively; P = 0.0181). Conception rates were monitored at 60 (48.57% vs. 20.00%, respectively; P = 0.0166), 80 (42.86% vs. 20.00%, respectively; P = 0.0471), and 150 days after AI (42.86% vs. 20.00%, respectively; P = 0.0471) to monitor embryonic loss. Fertility of sex-sorted semen in lactating cows can be improved after a VWP of 85 days under specific management conditions. Advisors/Committee Members: J. Lannett Edwards, F. Neal Schrick, Justin D. Rhinehart.

▼ Heat-induced decreases in bovine blastocyst development have been related to reductions in latent matrix metallopeptidase-9 (proMMP9) production from maturing cumulus-oocyte complexes. Elevated intrafollicular proMMP9 levels at the time of oocyte retrieval have been positively related to pregnancy following human IVF. Thus, we hypothesized that heat-induced reductions in proMMP9 levels during oocyte maturation may be responsible for decreased blastocyst development. As a first step towards testing this hypothesis, bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes were matured at 38.5°C for 24 h with 0 or 300 ng/mL recombinant human proMMP9 (rhMMP9) added at 0 h of in vitro maturation (hIVM). No differences were found in ability of oocytes to cleave or form blastocyst-stage embryos after IVF. In a second study, cumulus-oocyte complexes were matured at 38.5 or 41.0°C (first 12 h only, then transferred to 38.5°C). At 12 hIVM, 0 or 300 ng/mL of rhMMP9 was added. Heat stress exposure decreased 24 hIVM proMMP9 levels in 0 (P = 0.006) but not 300 ng/mL groups and elevated progesterone levels most when 300 ng/mL rhMMP9 was added (P = 0.0002). Heat stress exposure did not affect ability of oocytes to cleave but reduced blastocyst development (P = 0.006). Independent of maturation temperature, addition of rhMMP9 decreased cleavage (P = 0.02) and blastocyst development (P = 0.08). In a third study, 0, 30 or 300 ng/mL rhMMP9 was added at 18 hIVM to cumulus-oocyte complexes matured at 38.5 or 41.0°C (first 12 h only, then transferred to 38.5°C). Heat stress exposure decreased 24 hIVM proMMP9 levels in 0 (P = 0.007) and 30 (P = 0.04) but not 300 ng/mL groups and increased progesterone levels in 0 and 300 but not 30 ng/mL rhMMP9 groups (P = 0.039). Heat stress exposure decreased cleavage (P < 0.0001) and blastocyst development (P < 0.0001). Independent of maturation temperature, addition of rhMMP9 did not alter cleavage but decreased blastocyst development (P = 0.02). In summary, addition of rhMMP9 at evaluated doses and times during IVM did not restore development of heat-stressed oocytes. Addition of 30 or 300 ng/mL rhMMP9 after 12 hIVM, regardless of maturation temperature, was detrimental to development. Advisors/Committee Members: J. Lannett Edwards, F. Neal Schrick, Louisa A.

▼ To determine the occurrence of proximal droplets in performance-tested bulls, parameters related to breeding soundness examination (BSE) classification were evaluated. Bulls (542 Angus bulls) were classified as satisfactory (BSE guidelines; Society for Theriogenology) or deferred. On-test risk factors were identified, associated with increased probability for bulls to be deferred due to proximal droplets. On-test weight (P = 0.019), on-test scrotal circumference (P = 0.018) and the covariate of age (P = 0.007) were all associated with the probability for a bull to be deferred on test due to proximal droplets. Accounting for the covariate of age and the effect of on-test SC, bulls in weight category 5 (>500 kg on-test weight) had 12.5 times the odds of deferral due to proximal droplets compared to bulls in weight category 2 (350 – 400 kg) (OR: 12.5, 95% adj. CI: 1.47, 111.11; adj. P = 0.017). Accounting for the covariate of age and the effect of on-test weight, bulls that were categorized as SC on-test 1 (< 30 cm) had 7.9 times the odds for deferral due to proximal droplets compared to bulls categorized as SC 3 (33 – 36 cm; OR: 7.9, 95% CI: 1.4, 44.4; P = 0.012). Additionally, bulls that were categorized as SC 2 (30 – 33 cm) had 4.7 times the odds for deferral due to proximal droplets compared to bulls categorized 3 (33 – 36 cm; 95% CI: 1.1, 20.0; P = 0.03). After accounting for age and bull on-test weight, bulls that were categorized as SC growth 3 (> 6.2 cm growth) had 3.7 times the odds for deferral due to proximal droplets compared to bulls categorized 2 (3.4 to 6.2 cm growth; OR: 3.7, 95% CI: 1.69, 8.26; P = 0.001. In summary, bull on-test weight, on-test scrotal circumference, scrotal circumference growth and age are important factors associated with unsatisfactory classification due to proximal droplets. Occurrence of proximal droplets have been previously associated with bull maturity; however the cause of its relationship to on-test weight, on-test scrotal circumference and rapid scrotal circumference growth in performance-tested bulls remains unclear.

▼ Pregnancy loss is a major component of reproductive inefficiency and economic loss in both the beef and dairy industry. Research tends to focus on female contribution to pregnancy maintenance and overlook the role of the especially beyond early embryonic development stages. The aim of this study was to identify sires associated with high or low pregnancy loss and to investigate their effect on placental function, using circulating concentrations of pregnancy-associated glycoprotein [PAGs]. For the first part of the study, multiparous beef cows were randomly timed artificially inseminated [FTAI] with semen from either of 6 Angus sires of proven fertility and later, sires were retrospectively classified according to amount of pregnancy loss between days 30 and 100 of gestation. Pregnancies sired by high pregnancy loss sires had lower (P=0.05) circulating PAG concentration compared with pregnancies sired by low embryonic loss. For the second part, cows were artificially inseminated with either Nelore or Angus sires. Cows receiving semen from Nelore sires had greater (P < 0.001) pregnancy rate, greater (P = 0.014) pregnancy loss and lesser (P = 0.002) PAG concentrations at day 30 of gestation compared with cows receiving Angus semen. Estrus expression were evaluated in all cows using detector patches. Cows that expressed estrus prior to FTAI had higher pregnancy rate at day 30 and higher odds of maintaining pregnancy up to day 100 of gestation. Moreover, the effect of estrus in pregnancy rates was highly variable between sires. In summary, PAG concentrations reflected probability of pregnancy maintenance and were influenced by both sire and sire breed used at FTAI. A large variation in the incidence of pregnancy loss was detected among sires that could not be predicted with standard semen fertility evaluations. Exploring the relationship of sire and PAG production might be promising to improve sire selection with regard to pregnancy loss. Advisors/Committee Members: Ky G. Pohler, J. Lannett Edwards, Justin D. Rhinehart, John M. Zobel.

▼ Objectives were to 1) examine effects of heat stress on maturing oocytes to alter the ability of resulting embryos to develop after fertilization, 2) evaluate blastocyst development of compact morulae derived from control or heatstressed oocytes after culture at 38.5°C or 41.0°C, and 3) evaluate effects of heat stress on compact morulae to alter sex ratio. Culture of cumulus oocytes at 41.0°C did not alter ability of presumptive zygotes (PZ) to cleave; however, the proportion of embryos that cleaved to the 8- to 16-cell stage was lower (P = 0.01). Also, the proportion of 8- to 16-cell embryos derived from heat-stressed oocytes undergoing compaction was lower (P = 0.01). Effects of heat stress to reduce compaction was without consequence on morphology, as quality scores of embryos derived from heat-stressed oocytes were similar to those derived from nonheat-stressed oocytes. Application of heat stress to compact morulae derived from nonheat-stressed oocytes did not affect blastocyst development. Also, blastocyst development of compact morulae derived from heat-stressed oocytes was similar to those derived from nonheat-stressed controls. However, if compact morulae derived from heat-stressed oocytes were exposed to 41.0°C, blastocyst development was reduced (P = 0.007). This effect was coincident with an increase in the proportion of degenerate embryos (P = 0.02). Temperature at which oocytes were matured did not alter sex ratio of resulting blastocysts. Rather, there was a tendency for embryo temperature to increase the proportion of male embryos that survived (P < 0.06). Results described herein are significant as they not only clarify the extent to which heat stress during maturation reduces embryonic development after fertilization but are also informative of heat-induced perturbations that carry over to increase the susceptibility of resulting embryos to heat stress. With this in mind, results raise possible concerns about current practices of utilizing MOET in heat-stressed cattle with the intent of obtaining “developmentally-competent” embryos. Additionally, since it was also demonstrated that developmental competence of oocytes has an impact on the responsiveness of resulting embryos to heat stress, effort to clarify developmental competence of oocytes before utilizing in vitro derived embryos to improve fertility of heat-stressed dairy cows is needed.

▼ Specific objectives of this study were to examine growth response of the dominant follicle (DF) after administration of Folltropin-V (FSH and LH) at onset of luteolysis and investigate use of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for decreasing ovulation time in lactating Holstein cows. On day 8 or 9 of a synchronized cycle, cows (n = 35) received an EAZI-BREED CIDR plus 100 μg of GnRH. CIDRs were removed 7 days later and cows were administered 500 μg cloprostenol. Concurrently, cows were randomly allocated to receive either 80 mg Folltropin-V (FSH, n = 19) or 4 mL of sterile saline (SAL, n = 16). Forty-nine hours later, cows that had received Folltropin-V or Saline were randomly subdivided to receive either 100 μg dose of GnRH or 3000 IU of hCG. Ultrasonography was performed to assess growth of the ovulatory follicle and confirm ovulation. Data were analyzed using the MIXED procedure of SAS. Size of the ovulatory follicle at time of GnRH/hCG administration was not different between Folltropin-V or Saline groups (17.1 ± 0.7 vs. 17.7 ± 0.6 mm, respectively; P = 0.521). Total growth of the ovulatory follicle from CIDR removal to GnRH/hCG administration did not differ between FSH (3.2 ± 0.6 mm) and Saline-treated cows (3.3 ± 0.4 mm; P = 0.891). When assessed from time of CIDR removal, ovulation occurred at a similar time for Folltropin-V (76.9 ± 0.7 h) and Saline-treated cows (78.0 ± 0.5 h; P = 0.196). When calculated from time of LH or hCG peak to ovulation, FSH-hCG cows presented the shortest time to ovulation (19.9 ± 0.4 h; P = 0.066). Whereas, from GnRH/hCG administration to ovulation, FSH-GnRH presented the earliest ovulation (25.0 ± 1.2 h; P = 0.013). In conclusion, Folltropin-V did not increase size of the ovulatory follicle at the time of GnRH/hCG administration. However, earlier ovulation occurred when combined with hCG as measured from time of gonadotropin peak. Conversely, when ovulation time is calculated from GnRH/hCG administration, FSH-GnRH produced the earliest ovulation. Advisors/Committee Members: F. Neal Schrick, J. Lannett Edwards, Tulio Prado.
