heal.abstractThe effects of monensin and progesterone priming on reproductive performance (estrous response, lambing rate and prolificacy) of grazing Boutsiko mountain breed adult and 18-mo.-old ewes at the end of seasonal anestrus were investigated. In Experiment 1 the feed supplement with or without monensin was offered for 21 d after introduction of vasectomized rams (Day 0). Progesterone was administered to the ewes in the respective groups as a single injection at Day -3. Ewes of both age groups were assigned randomly to 1 of 4 treatments: C, C+P, C+M and C+M+P. In Experiment 2 the supplement C or M was offered from Day -26 to Day 21. The treatments consisted of C, C+P and C+M+P. Blood samples were taken 50 h after ram introduction for determination of plasma concentrations of P and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). There was a greater increase in estrous response at Days 17 to 19 and at Days 0 to 19 when supplementation was offered before rather than after ram introduction in both age groups. In the adult group ewes synchronization of estrus at Days 17 to 19 was significantly increased by administration of monensin (P<0.05) and progesterone (P<0.01) compared with the control group in the first but not the second experiment. The incidence of estrus at Days 17 to 19 or at Days 0 to 19 was highest in the adult groups treated with monensin and progesterone in both experiments. In 18-mo.-old ewes progesterone was effective in synchronizing estrus only in Experiment 2. Mean plasma IGF-I concentrations were increased by monensin treatment (P<0.05) in adult ewes that were at the periovulatory stage at blood sampling time. Correlation coefficients between IGF-I and progesterone concentrations in monensin plus progesterone group adults were -0.715 (P<0.02) and -0.516 (P<0.01), respectively across all treatments. The results suggest that monensin and progesterone priming improved reproductive performance, and the monensin-induced increase in plasma IGF-I levels at the periovulatory stage may be causally related to the ability of ovulatory follicles to develop into functional corpora lutea (CL).en
