Abstract

This study examined the effects of the in vitro produced (IVP) Hanwoo blastocyst stage (blastocyst, expanded blastocyst and hatched blastocyst), in vitro culture day (7, 8, and 9) and blastocyst grade (1, 2 and 3) on the pregnancy rate, gestation length, birth weight, the incidence of dystocia and twining rate after embryo transfer (ET). The pregnancy and abortion rates were significantly higher in the blastocyst (B) stage (64.4%) and in the hatched blastocyst (HB) stage (21.4%), respectively, than in those of the other developmental stages (p<0.05). The pregnancy rate of Day 7 embryos (49.0%) was significantly higher than those of Days 8 and 9 embryos (36.4 and 15.4%), but the abortion rates were similar (0 to 10.7%). There were no significant differences in the pregnancy (41.4 to 42.5%) and abortion (9.3 to 16.5%) rates among the three grades of embryos. There were no significant differences in gestation length, birth weight and the incidence of dystocia among the three development stages, but the twinning rate was significantly higher in the HB stage (p<0.05). The pregnancy rate, the incidence rate of dystocia and twinning rate were similar among the three different culture days, however birth weight was significantly heavier in calves from Day 9 embryos than in those from Days 7 and 8 embryos. The mean gestation length of grades 1 and 2 embryos (278.5 and 276.1 days) were significantly longer than that of grade 3 (p<0.05), but birth weight, the incidence of dystocia and twinning rate did not significantly differ. The mean gestation length in single calves was significantly longer than that in twin calves (278.5 vs. 272.5 days, p<0.05). In addition, the mean birth weight in single calves was significantly greater than that in twin calves (29.6 vs. 22.3 kg, p<0.05). Finally, the sex ratios and mean mortality rates between single and twin calves were similar.

본 연구는 수정란이식의 현장 적용 측면을 중심으로, 한우 체외 수정란의 발생 단계, 일자 및 등급이 젖소 대리모에 이식 후 임신과 유산, 분만과 관련된 임신기간, 생시체중, 난산 및 쌍자율을 조사하였다. 또한 단자 및 쌍자 분만에 따른 임신기간, 생시체중, 성비 및 폐사율을 분석하였다. 발생 단계에 따른 임신율은 배반포 단계(64.4%), 유산율은 부화 배반포(HB) 단계(21.4%)가 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 발생 일령에 따른 임신율은 7일령 배가 49.0%로서 8일 및 9일령의 36.4 및 15.4%보다 유의하게 높았으나(p<0.05), 유산율은 0$\sim$10.7%로 비슷한 경향이었다. 등급에 따른 임신율은 41.4$\sim$42.5%, 유산율은 9.3$\sim$16.5%로서 차이가 없었다. 발생 단계에 따른 임신기간, 송아지의 체중 및 난산율은 비슷한 경향이었으나, 쌍자율은 HB 단계가 44%로서 배반포 단계의 15.8%보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 발생 일령에 따른 임신 기간, 난산율 및 쌍자율은 차이가 없었으나, 송아지의 체중은 9일령의 것이 평균 35.5 kg으로서 7일령 및 8일령의 평균 25.2 및 26.2kg보다 유의하게 무거웠다(p<0.05). 등급에 따른 임신 기간은 1등 및 2등급이 평균 278.5 및 276.1일로서 3등급의 평균 273.7일에 비하여 유의하게 길었으나(p<0.05), 체중, 난산율 및 쌍자율은 차이가 없었다. 분만한 송아지의 개체 수에 따른 임신기간은 단자가 평균 278.5일로서 쌍자의 평균 272.5일보다 유의하게 길었다(p<0.05). 생시 체중도 단자가 평균 29.6 kg으로서 쌍자의 평균 22.3kg에 비하여 유의하게 무거웠으나(p<0.05), 성비와 폐사율은 유사한 경향이었다.
