Factors Affecting Pregnancy Rate of Embryo Transfer in Bos indicus and Bos taurus/Bos indicus cows

Abstract Montiel, F., Galina, C., Rubio, I. and Corro, M. 2006. Factors affecting pregnancy rate of embryo transfer in Bos indicus and Bos taurus/Bos indicus cows. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 29: 149–152. The present study was conducted to determine the factors affecting pregnancy rate after embryo transfer (ET) in cows from the tropics. Zebu (n=105, Experiment I) and Bos taurus/Bos indicus (n=110, Experiment II) potential recipients of embryos were synchronised with a norgestomet implant and received feed supplementation. In both experiments, recipients were divided in two groups: 1) subsequent spontaneous oestrus (SSO) and 2) synchronised oestrus (SO). At ET, recipients of Experiment I (n=50) and II (n=47) were transferred with a single frozen-thawed, in vitro fertilised Fl (Holstein/Zebu) embryo. Pregnancy rate for Experiment I and II was 16% and 36.2%, respectively. In Experiment I, pregnancy rate was affected by day of transfer (day 7 or day 8, P<0.05). In Experiment II, pregnancy rate was affected by oestrus type (SSO and SO), feed supplementation (with and without), and body condition score (low and high; P<0.05).
