The objective of present study was to determine the effect of plasma progesterone (P4) on oocyte recovery, oocyte quality, and early in-vitro developmental competence of embryos in Bos indicus dairy cows. The ovaries were collected in an abattoir. These ovaries (n = 750) were divided into two groups: 1) estrous CYCLIC (n = 318), and 2) estrous ACYCLIC (n = 432). Mean serum concentrations of P4 in a subset of (n = 85; 4.21 ± 0.4 ng/ml compared with 0.5 ± 0.2 ng/ml; P <  0.05) were greater in estrous CYCLIC as compared to ACYCLIC cows, respectively. The mean number of oocytes recovered per ovary (6.5 ± 0.5 compared with 4.0 ± 0.2; P <  0.05) was greater for estrous CYCLIC than ACYCLIC cows, respectively. The oocytes with grade I_+_II quality (55.3% compared with 47.6%; P <  0.05) were greater, whereas, there was lesser percentage with grade III_+_IV quality (44.5% compared with 52.4%; P <  0.05) from estrous CYCLIC as compared with ACYCLIC cows, respectively. Cleavage rate (70.9% compared with 52.8%; P < 0.05) was greater for embryos derived from estrous CYCLIC than ACYCLIC cows, respectively. Similarly, the embryo developmental rates to the 8- (38.5% compared with 20.8%; P < 0.05) and 16- (20.0% compared with 10.9%; P < 0.05) cell stage were greater for embryos derived from estrous CYCLIC as compared to ACYCLIC cows, respectively. In conclusion, the presence of greater plasma P4 has a beneficial effect on oocyte recovery, oocyte quality, and early IVEP outcomes in Bos indicus dairy cows.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D011372 Progestins Compounds that interact with PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS in target tissues to bring about the effects similar to those of PROGESTERONE. Primary actions of progestins, including natural and synthetic steroids, are on the UTERUS and the MAMMARY GLAND in preparation for and in maintenance of PREGNANCY.

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.
