Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of pLH in replacement of eCG on the last day of P-36 superstimulatory treatment in Nellore donors. Recent studies demonstrated improvement in embryo production when the last 2 doses of FSH were replaced by eCG. However, consecutive use of eCG in bovine superstimulatory protocols may induce antibody against eCG, decreasing embryo production. Twenty-five Nellore cows were randomly allocated in 4 groups: P-36 (control), P-36/eCG, P-36/LH2, and P-36/LH4. All animals underwent 4 treatments in a cross-over design. Donors received an intravaginal device containing 1.0 g of progesterone (IVD, Primer®, Tecnopec, Sao Paulo, Brazil) and oestradiol benzoate (2.0 mg, IM; Estrogin®, Farmavet, Sao Paulo, Brazil) at a random stage of the oestrous cycle (D0). Cows from the control group were superestimulated with decreasing doses of pFSH (133 mg, IM; Folltropin-V®, Bioniche, Ontario, Canada; D5-8). In the P-36/eCG group, the last 2 doses of pFSH were replaced by 2 doses of eCG (200 IU each dose, IM; Folligon®, Intervet, Boxmeer, the Netherlands). In the P-36/LH2 and P-36/LH4 groups, the last 2 doses of pFSH were replaced by 2 doses of 1 and 2 mg of pLH, respectively (IM; Lutropin®, Bioniche). All animals were treated with prostaglandin F2a (150 µg d-cloprostenol, IM; Prolise®, Tecnopec) on D7, and the IVD was removed 36 h after. Ovulation was induced with 12.5 mg of pLH (IM) on D9, and all animals received fixed-time artificial insemination 12 and 24 h after pLH. Embryo flushing was performed on D16. Data were analysed by ANOVA (Proc Mixed, SAS). There was a significant difference in the number of corpus luteum in the eCG group (19.2 ± 2.4) when compared with the LH2 (12.7 ± 2.0) and LH4 groups (12.3 ± 1.5; P < 0.05). In addition, there was a tendency of lower ovulation rate in the LH2 group as compared with the eCG group (50.6 and 67.8%, respectively; P = 0.06). However, there was no difference in viable embryo yield among groups P-36 (3.3 ± 0.7), P-36/eCG (4.5 ± 0.5), P-36/LH2 (3.7 ± 0.8), and P-36/LH4 (4.2 ± 1.0); P > 0.05. In conclusion, eCG can be replaced by pLH (4.0 mg), in the last day of P-36 protocol, without affecting the production of viable embryos in Nellore cows.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
