Resumen
Se implementaron dos programas de sincronización de celo en 36 ovejas no gestantes de
las razas Katahdin, Dorper y cruce entre ambas, con el objetivo de determinar la efectividad
del Acetato de Fluorogestona (FGA) combinado con Gonadotropina Coriónica equina
(eCG) y del Acetato de Melengestrol (MGA) con eCG. Las hembras se dividieron en 3
grupos de 12 ovejas cada uno. Cada protocolo se realizó en lapsos de tiempo diferentes. Al
protocolo 1 (Grupo FGA) se les administró esponjas intravaginales de FGA de 40 mg por
un periodo de 7 días y el día de su retiro se administró una dosis de 400 UI de eCG (2ml de
Folligón®). El protocolo 2 (Grupo MGA) las ovejas recibieron una dosis oral de 0.3 gr de
MGA (0.125 mg/oveja/día) cada 12 horas por 12 días, cinco horas después de la última
dosis de MGA, se les administró 400 UI de eCG y el tercer grupo, que fue el de control, no
recibió tratamiento. En ambos protocolos se observó celos por un espacio de 72 horas post
aplicación del eCG, mientras el grupo control se observó por espacio de 21 días en cada
protocolo. Las hembras que manifestaron celo se dejaban con el macho para que este las
montara tres veces a cada una, luego se sacaban del grupo y se determinaba si repetían
celo. Para determinar el estado de gravidez de cada oveja montada de ambos protocolos, se
les practicó ultrasonografía a los 45 días post monta.
Con respecto a los índices de celo, el protocolo 2 (Grupo MGA), obtuvo el 100% de
ovejas en celo durante las primeras 72 horas, mientras que el protocolo 1 (Grupo FGA) el
83.3% de las ovejas entraron en celo y el grupo control el 91.6%. No obstante, no existió
diferencia significativa entre los tres grupos (P≥0.051).
Con respecto a la proporción de ovejas preñadas sobre ovejas en celo en cada
tratamiento, en ambos grupos (MGA y FGA), obtuvieron el 100% de preñez y en cuanto al
grupo control se obtuvo el 72.7% de preñez, donde sí existió diferencia significativa
comparándolo con los dos grupos anteriores (P≤0.04).
Estos resultados indican, que tanto el uso de FGA como de MGA son eficientes para
programas de sincronización de celos y que el uso del eCG en cada uno ayuda a aumentar
el porcentaje de preñez. Por lo tanto, es importante determinar que el uso de MGA como
aditivo oral es una excelente herramienta para estos tipos de programas, debido a que, éste
progestágeno es de fácil aplicación y de bajo costo.
Sería importante aplicar los resultados obtenidos bajo un programa de monta natural en
programas de Inseminación Artificial (IA) en nuestro país, para mejorar el hato nacional
ovino.
Two differents synchronized trials of provoking estrus were implemented in 36 ewes in order to determine the effectiveness of Acetate of Fluorogestona (FGA) combined with equine Corionic Gonadotrophin (eCG) and of Acetate of Melengestrol (MGA) with eCG. The ewes were not of the breeds Katahdin, Dorper or of a croosbred between the two. The ewes divided into 3 group of 12 ewes each. Each trial was constructeds with a different time limit. With the first group (FGA group), intravaginal sponges with FGA were introduced into the ewes for a period of 7 days. On the day of the removal of the sponges, a dose of 400 U.I of eCG (2 ml of Folligón®) was administered. In the second trial group (MGA group) the ewes received oral doses of 0.3 gr of MGA (0.125mg/ewe/day) every 12 hours for 12 days. Five hours after the last dose of MGA, 400 U.I of eCG were administered. The control group received no treatment. In both trials the ewes went into estrus within a time period of 72 hours post-application of eCG, while the control group went into estrus within a time period of 21 days in each trial. The ewes that went into estrus were left with the ram so that he could mount each of them 3 times. Then the ewes were taken away to observe if they repeated the estrus cycle. In order to determine the advancement of the pregnancy of each ewe the ram had mounted, an ultrasound was performed 45 days after the ram had mounted the ewe. With respect to the estrus indexes, in the second trial group (MGA group), 100% of the ewes went into estrus within the first 72 hours, in trial group 1 (FGA group) 83.3% of the ewes went into estrus, as did 91.6% of the control group. In spite of, there was no difference significant between the three groups (P ≥0.051). With respect to the proportion of ewes that became pregnant against ewes that went into estrus in each treatment, both group (MGA and FGA) obtained a 100% rate of pregnancy, while the control group had a rate of 72.7% of pregnancy, where there existed a significant difference in the comparison of the aforementioned group (P≤0.04). The results obtained indicate that both FGA and MGA are efficient in program of artificially induced estrus in ewes. The uses of eCG in each ewe help to increase the percentage of pregnancies. Therefore, it is important to determine that the use of MGA as an oral additive is an excellent tool for these types of programs, due to the fact that steps are easy to apply and of low cost. These result are based on a program of natural mounting. It would be important to apply these measures in a program Artificial Insemination (I.A) in our country, in order to improve the national flock.
