摘要
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are routinely used in livestock to generate animals of high genetic value. Despite representing an outstanding accomplishment, recent studies suggest differences in health, fertility, and gestational length of in vitro-produced compared to in vivo-derived animals. Currently, there are no data available on the long-term effects of ART on growth and development. This observational study aimed to understand the relationship between growth and growth-influencing hormones in a herd of cattle derived from artificial insemination (AI) or from in vitro-produced embryos either with BSA (C-IVP) or with reproductive fluids (RF-IVP) as a protein source in culture. Cortisol was associated positively with weight in AI and negatively with body length in males. Thyroxine decreased with age, and it was positively associated with thoracic circumference in RF-IVP. Insulin-like growth factor-1 was greater in RF-IVP than in C-IVP, and it was positively associated with body length and withers height. Growth hormone was greater in females than in males and RF-IVP compared to AI and C-IVP. In conclusion, we present here the first datasets on growth parameters and growth-influencing hormones in cattle from birth to 4 years of age without observing major evidence of differences depending on the embryo origin.

辅助生殖技术(ART)通常在牲畜中用于产生高遗传价值的动物。尽管代表了一项出色的成就,但最近的研究表明,与体内衍生的动物相比,体外产生的健康,生育能力和妊娠长度的差异。当前,尚无有关艺术对生长和发展的长期影响的数据。这项观察性研究旨在了解源自人工授精(AI)的牛群中生长与生长影响激素之间的关系,或者是由BSA(C-IVP)或BSA(C-IVP)或生殖液(RF-IVP)(RF-IVP)作为蛋白质来源中的蛋白质来源的。皮质醇与AI的重量正相关,并且与男性的身体长度负相关。甲状腺素随着年龄的增长而降低,并且与RF-IVP中的胸周呈正相关。RF-IVP中的胰岛素样生长因子1大于C-IVP,并且与体长和枯萎的高度呈正相关。与AI和C-IVP相比,女性的生长激素比男性和RF-IVP大。总而言之,我们在这里介绍了第一个有关生长参数和生长影响激素的数据集,从出生到4岁,而没有观察到差异的主要证据,具体取决于胚胎的起源。
