Primary follicle
Which follicle has formation of thecal and granulosa cells
Secondary follicle
Which follicle contains several layers of follicular cells
Secondary follicle
Which follicle is surrounded by several layers of follicular cells
Tertiary follicle

Cumulus oocyte complex
Which follicle produces progesterone
Corpus luteum
Function of corpus luteum
Establishing and maintaining pregnancy
Which follicle is the regressed form of CL
Corpus albicans
Which follicle is scar tissue
Corpus albicans
When are boars first housed
Before puberty
Why do boars get housed separately when older
Due to aggression
What age do boars reach puberty
5 mo
When are boars trained on puberty
6 mo
When are boar’s sperm used for breeding
8 mo
Items needed for collecting boar sperm
Collecting cup, vinyl gloves, gauze
Why can’t use you AV for boars
They require pressure and temperature to ejaculate
hormone if we want animals to ovulate
GnRH
Hormone if we want to kill CL
PGF2a
Hormone if we want animal to stop cycling
Progesterone
What does low progesterone indicate
A heat cycle
What does high progesterone indicate
A CL
How to test for pregnancy in animals
ELISA assay to detect progesterone levels
What does high estrogen indicate
They are during heat or estrus
HHH
Pregnant
LLL-
Anestrus
LHH-
Ovulated 14 days ago
LLH
Ovulated 7 days ago
LML
Subfunctional CL
LH function
Causes ovulation and maintains CL
FSH function
Stimulates follicular growth
E2 function
Standing estrus, triggers release of GnRH when P4 low
P4 function
Maintains pregnancy and inhibits ovulation
PGF2a function
Regresses CL
Day 1 of NC Synch protocol
PGF2a
Day 8 of NC Synch protocol
GnRH
Day 15 of NC Synch protocol
PGF2a
Day 18 of NC Synch protocol
GnRH and AI
Signs of estrus
Interest in buck, vocal, red vulva, mucus, raised tail
3 methods of estrus detection
Pasture teasing, pen teasing, individual mare teasing
0-2 of estrus scale
Not in heat
3-4 of estrus scale
Are in heat
Regumate
Progesterone; helps with a transition period from winter anestrus to breeding seasons in mares
Lutalyse, Estrumate
Prostagladins; causes regression of CL, stimulate uterine contractions
Sucromate
Inhibit ovulation
Factrel
Inhibit ovulation
