sec.

Sheep fertility
improved
FORT COLLINS, COLO. -
A now experimental
treatment could improve the
fertility of sheep and other
livestock given hormones to
synchronize estrus, says Dr.
Harold W. Hawk, a
physiologist with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
Livestock treated with
hormones to synchronize
estrus, may have a low
fertility rate caused by poor
transport of sperm to the
cervix and oviducts where
fertilization of the egg takes
place. Fewer sperm greatly
reduces the chance of an egg
being fertilized. Low fer
tility may also occur for
this reason in livestock bred
shortly after giving birth.
In experiments at the
USDA’s Agricultural
Research Center, Beltsville,
MD, ewes were injected with
different levels of estradiol,
a natural estrogen com
pound, 4 hours before mating
or shortly after mating.
Tests showed that 30
micrograms of estradiol per
ewe increased the number of
sperm transported from the

vagina to the cervix, uterus
and oviducts. Experiments
with up to 190 micrograms of
estradiol showed no adverse
effects on sperm transport,
ovum fertilization or embryo
survival.
"Injecting sheep with 30
mlcrograms of estradiol
after mating increased the
number of sperm found in
the cervix by 3-fold and by
10-fold the number found in
the uterus and oviducts,”
Hawk said.
"Treatment of animals
with 30 micrograms of
estradiol at the time of
mating might be a simple,
inexpensive procedure for
increasing fertility in estrus
synchronized livestock,” he
said.
At present, treatment with
estradiol is in the ex
perimental stage and has not
been approved by the Food
and Drug Administration for
use in increasing fertility in
sheep or other livestock.
Dr. Hawk reported his
research before the annual
meeting of the American
Society of Animal Science.
