In vitro embryo production in beef cattle, under dry tropical conditions: effect of breed
Keywords:
beef cattle, dry tropic
Abstract
In vitro embryo production (IVEP) allows faster genetic gain and productivity improvement in beef herds. Data records from the Laboratorio FIV of the UGRT, Cd. Victoria, Tamps., for the year 2019, were used to assess donor breed effects (Red Brangus, RB, Beefmaster, BM, Brahman, BH, and others) on IVEP. Individual donor records for total (TO), viable (VO) and degenerated (DO) oocytes and blastocyst production (BP) were used with a general linear model, in two analyses. In the first analysis records of 50 donors of each breed, RB, BM and BH were used, whereas, in the second analysis, a total of 462 oocyte collection records were used, as follows, 105 BR, 204 BM, 102 BH and 49 for several beef breeds. Overall, TO was not affected by donor breed, but it did affect the BP. In the first analysis, BH donors produced more blastocysts (6.5) in relation to BM (4.0) or RB (4.1) donors; whereas in the second analysis, the BR donors produced more blastocysts (8.3), in relation to the BM (5.8) or BH (6.2) donors. Perhaps, the differences for BP found in both analyses were due to the data curation for the first analysis and to the number of observations of the second analysis. It is concluded that the breed affects BP in an IVEP system, albeit, it is considered necessary to include factors as body condition score, physiological status and season in the analysis, in order to make a better assessment and a more objective interpretation of results.
