Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of body condition score (BCS) on the embryo quality. In the experiment, the total of 65 Holstein cows at different BCS were used. According to their BCS, the Holstein cows were divided into three groups. The first, second and third groups consisted of 9 cows with BCS≤3, 29 cows with 3 - 4 BCS (BCS = 3 and BCS = 4 not including) and 27 cows with BCS ≥4, respectively. It was found that, BCS did not effect on transferable embryo number, non-transferable embryo number, total embryo number, transferable embryo rate, non-transferable embryo rate (P>0.05). A low and insignificant correlation (r = -0.156, P = 0.215) were recorded between BCS and transferable embryos, non-transferable embryos (r = 0.186, P = 0.137), total embryo number (r = 0.007, P = 0.958), transferable embryo rate (r = -0.205, P = 0.101) and non-transferable embryo rate (r = 0.205, P = 0.101).

Özet

Bu çalışma, vücut kondüsyon skorunun (VKS) embriyo kalitesine olan etkisini saptamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada değişik VKS’de olan 65 baş Siyah Alaca inek kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada Siyah Alaca inekler VKS’lerine göre 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Birinci Grup VKS≤3 olan (VKS = 3 dahil) 9 inekten, 2. Grup VKS 3 ile 4 (VKS =3 ve VKS = 4 dahil değil) arasında değişen 29 inekten ve 3. Grup VKS≥4 (VKS = 4 dahil) olan 27 inekten oluşmuştur. Çalışmada VKS’nin transfer edilebilir kalitedeki embriyo sayı ortalaması, transfer edilemez kalitedeki embriyo sayı ortalaması, toplam embriyo sayı ortalaması, transfer edilebilir embriyo oranı ile transfer edilemez embriyo oranına olan etkisinin istatistiksel olarak önemsiz olduğu tespit edilmiştir (P>0.05). Denemede ineklerde VKS ile transfer edilebilir kalite embriyolar arasında (r = -0.156, P = 0.215), transfer edilemez kalite embriyo sayısı arasında (r = 0.186, P=0.137), toplam embriyo sayısı arasında (r = 0.007, P = 0.958), transfer edilebilir embriyo oranı arasında (r = -0.205, P = 0.101) ve transfer edilemez kalitedeki embriyo oranı arasında (r = 0.205, P = 0.101) düşük ve önemsiz düzeyde bir ilişki saptanmıştır.
