Can We Get More Cows Bred? by Kindra Gordon, Field Editor for Angus Journal

Research studies mechanics to improve reproduction efficiency in beef cattle. Cattlemen understand that getting more cows bred means the opportunity to produce more calves, which in turn equates to more beef to sell. While increasing the economic return to the rancher, it also plays an important role in increasing domestic and global beef supplies. Looking into the future, producing more beef is especially important with the projection for the global population to add 2 billion more people to the planet during the next 35 years. As a result, the world is racing to address the grand challenge of the 21st century: “How do we feed more people?” George Perry, South Dakota State University (SDSU) professor of animal science and beef extension reproduction specialist, is conducting research that may contribute to the solution. Perry’s research during the past decade has focused on reproduction efficiency in beef cattle. It goes back to that basic premise of more cows bred means the opportunity for more calves and more beef to be produced. “All ag sectors are looking at production efficiency as we address the grand challenge of the future,” Perry says. “Dairy is looking at producing more milk. Poultry is looking at more eggs. Swine is aiming to add more piglets in a litter. We in the beef industry are taking the approach that asks, ‘How can we get more cows bred early?’ ” Perry reports that research has shown that beef cows bred earliest in a breeding season are more productive (i.e., have more calves) during their entire life cycle. “If we can get more cows bred early, we can produce more beef,” he observes. Beef producers do face challenges with pregnancy rates in their herds, Perry says. He explains that when a cow shows estrus and ovulates and semen is present from artificial insemination (AI) or natural service, fertilization occurs 90% of the time, but conception rates usually average only 50%-60%.

“This equates to a 30% to 40% embryonic loss. If we can get more of these embryos to survive — even if conception rates were 75% — that many more cows bred and producing that much more beef over their lifetime would benefit the world’s food supply,” Perry says.

Focus on estradiol

Perry’s reproductive work with heifers and cows is focusing on the hormone estradiol. “Estradiol is the signal to the brain for onset of estrus,” Perry explains. Different levels of estradiol appear to result in differences in estrus expression. From data collected on 10,000 cows synchronized with recommended fixedtime artificial insemination (FTAI) protocols, Perry and his team of researchers identified a 27% improvement in animal conception rates among those cows and heifers with high levels of estradiol. Those results mean estradiol prompted the opportunity for an extra 27 calves out of 100 cows. Currently, estradiol cannot legally be administered to cattle. Thus, Perry says, “We need to figure out how to get the body to produce estradiol.”

“If we can get more cows bred early, we can produce more beef.” -George Perry His current research is focused on studying what regulates production of estradiol by the follicle and evaluating what might prompt increased production of the hormone in some animals and not others. An additional study is evaluating what estradiol does in the uterus to aid beef cow conception rates and embryo survival. “At Day 6 (after fertilization) we are seeing improved embryo quality when there are high concentrations of estradiol, and by Day 16 estradiol also appears to prompt beneficial changes in the uterine environment,” Perry reports.

Studying bulls, too

From this research, a third area to evaluate was identified — sperm transport. “We are looking at what factors may influence better sperm survival and fertilization,” Perry explains. He points out that sperm in the epididymis can live for a few weeks, but in lab cultures only for a few days and in the reproductive tract for a few hours. Additionally, the cryo-packaging process for semen to be used for AI can negatively impact sperm survivability. “We need to learn more about the proteins that surround sperm and the environments we ask sperm to live in,” Perry says. For instance, he points to the fact that among poultry, hens can store sperm and fertilize an egg each day for a week. He believes it may be related to the protein that surrounds the sperm. Perry believes with more information, the beef industry can eventually better identify which sperm will do better at fertilization. He notes that currently a breeding soundness exam (sometimes referred to as a BSE) looks at motility and morphology of a bull’s sperm. However, a bull may have good sperm motility and morphology but still have poor conception rates. The research Perry’s conducting aims to learn more about the fluid that the semen is in. “Some sperm may have higher survivability based on the protein that surrounds it,” he says. As new information is gleaned from this research, Perry says better technologies to store semen and increase conception rates through AI may be developed. For beef producers, especially those in developing countries, this could be a game changer. “One bull requires a lot of resources,” Perry explains. “If producers can replace that bull with a female and use AI instead to improve conception rates, we can increase beef production. The world would have more beef.” Editor’s Note: Funding support for Perry’s research has been provided from the National Science Foundation, USDA-Hatch funds, SARE, and industry organizations including AI and animal health companies. Perry acknowledges that many producers have provided access to their cows and, he says, “The fun part of this has been having producers involved.” This article is reprinted with permission from the February 2016 issue of the Angus Journal, available at www.angus.media.

Beef A.I. Management Checklist for a successful breeding program

NUTRITION • Know your nutrient requirements and have a year-round mineral program. • Reduce sudden changes in feed resources at and following breeding. • Body Condition Score should be close to 6 during calving and prior to breeding. • Cattle need to be maintaining or gaining weight prior to and during breeding. • Heifers should be developed to weigh at least 60% of mature weight at breeding. • Post-partum interval needs to be greater than 50 days at breeding. • Avoid cattle movement 4-20 days after breeding to prevent embryonic loss.

HERD HEALTH • Work with a veterinarian that knows your herd and health program. • Pre-breeding vaccinations must be given a minimum of 30-days prior to breeding. • Follow BQA guidelines and give injections properly. • Reproductive tract score heifers, and cull those that have infertile or late maturing reproductive tracts. • Avoid growth implants in replacement heifers.

ESTRUS SYNCHRONIZATION

Scan the QR code to download a free Estrus Synchronization Planner

• Select a synchronization protocol and record it on the calendar. • Evaluate facilities and arrange needed labor. • Purchase synchronization products and follow prescription directions from veterinarian. • Know the difference between Prostaglandin and GnRH and use at proper times. • Handle Prostaglandins with extreme caution. • Use correct needle size for intra-muscular (IM) injections (18 to 20 gauge x 1.5”). • Make sure the correct product is given on the correct day with the correct dosage amount.

18


HEAT DETECTION • Good heat detection requires careful observation of the herd at least 3 times during the day. • When possible, use heat detection aids for assistance such as Estrotect® Heat Detectors or KaMar® Heatmount® Detectors. • Train those who are heat detecting to understand reproductive management and focus time and attention to cattle behavior. • Have facilities that allow for low-stress cattle handling and staging for proper time of A.I.

SEMEN FERTILITY • Use semen processed at a reputable stud from bulls meeting Certified Semen Services (CSS) health standards. • Store semen correctly in a fully functional nitrogen tank. • Be sure to use correct equipment, check and clean regularly. • Constantly review semen thawing and handling procedures. • Check thaw units to make sure they are functioning correctly. Water temperature should be 94-96°F. • Use proper semen straw handling to avoid exposure to wind and sunlight. • Make sure the A.I. syringe is warm before loading the semen straw, to prevent cold shock to the semen. • When moving semen from one tank to another, try to limit exposure outside of tank to under 5 seconds.

A.I. TECHNICIANS • Make sure technicians are properly trained and supervised. • Inseminate at the correct time, in accordance to heat detection or synchronization protocol. • Practice proper cattle handling—no electric prods, aggressive dogs, or loud voices. • STRESS REDUCES FERTILITY. • Have realistic expectations for conception rates. • Take your time. Focus on speed makes for carelessness. • Concentrate on accurate semen placement in the uterine body. • Use a new, shoulder-length A.I. sleeve for every insemination to minimize disease transfer.

GENETICS • Use sires that have proven they will help accomplish the goals you have for your breeding and marketing program(s). • Sires with high accuracy values provide a measure of reduced risk and predictable results from offspring. • Reproduction is the most important trait in a cow/calf operation. • Pregnancy has 4 times greater economic impact than any other production trait in beef cattle.
