- 2. Terminology • Objective: – Define terminology related to reproductive management and breeding systems including castration, colustrum, estrus, gestation, lactation and parturition.
- 3. Terminology • Castration – Removing the testicles of the male to prevent breeding • Colustrum – First milk • Gestation – Time an animal is pregnant
- 4. Terminology • Estrus – When a female is receptive to be bred • Lactation – Period of time that milk is secreted by the mammary glands • Parturition – Than act of giving birth
- 5. Breeding Systems • Objective – Discuss crossbreeding, grading-up, inbreeding, linebreeding, and purebreeding
- 6. Breeding Systems • Pure Breeding – Registered male and female animals – Angus X Angus
- 7. Breeding Systems • Cross Breeding – Mating a male and female of different breeds – Angus X Charolais = Crossbreed
- 8. Breeding Systems • Inbreeding – Mating closely related animals – Brother X Sister – Son X Mother – Father X Daughter
- 9. Breeding Systems • Linebreeding – Breeding more distant relatives than inbreeding – Cousin X Cousin
- 10. Breeding Systems • Grading-Up – Mating purebred male (sires) to unregistered or corssbred females (dams) – Yorkshire bore X Yorkshire/Hampshire sow – Hybrid Vigor • Superior traits from crossbreeding • Offspring are better than parents
- 11. The Female Reproductive System Objective: Identify the parts of the female reproductive system of livestock
- 12. Female Tract
- 13. Female Reproductive System • Ovary - the ovary is comparable to the male testicle and is the site of gamete production. – A bovine animal has 20,000 potential eggs per ovary, while a human female has 400,000 potential eggs per ovary. – Ova are fully developed at puberty and are not continuously produced as in the male. – All species contain two functional ovaries except for the hen which has only a left functioning ovary.
- 15. Female Reproductive System The ovaries have three major functions: • Gamete production • Secrete estrogen (hormone) • absence of muscle development • development of mammary glands • development of reproductive systems and external genitalia • fat deposition on hips and stomach (source of energy) • triggering of heat • Form the corpus luteum
- 16. Female Reproductive System • Infundibulum - the funnel shaped portion of the fallopian tube near the ovary that catches the ovulated egg. • Fallopian Tubes (or Oviducts) - pair of small tubes leading from the ovaries to the horns of the uterus (5 - 6 inches). – Fertilization occurs in the oviduct. – Egg travels from ovary to uterine horn in 3 - 4 days.
- 18. Female Reproductive System • Uterine Horn - The anterior, divided end of the uterus in the cow, ewe, and mare. Sow has only 2 horns, no body, woman has no horns, only body.
- 20. Female Reproductive System Uterus - Muscular sac connecting fallopian tubes and cervix 1. Sustains the sperm and aids in its transport 2. Supports embryo and fetus during gestation 3. Expels fetus at parturition
- 21. Female Reproductive System • Cervix – Area between the uterus and vagina – Normally closed – Opens at estrus and parturition – (2 -3 inches)
- 22. Female Reproductive System • Vagina - the female organ of copulation 1. admits penis 2. receives semen (except in sow) 3. passageway for fetus at parturition • Bladder - storage organ for urine • Vulva - extended genitalia; opening for both urinary and genital tracts
- 24. Reproductive Functions (Female) Steps in the female reproductive process: 1. Ovulation — Produce gamete (ova or ovum) — Release of egg(s) — Infundibulum pushes the ovum into the fallopian tube
- 26. Reproductive Functions (Female) 2. Estrus (heat, estrous period) – Period of time when a female will accept a male in copulation – The female must stand (standing heat) to be mounted before the reproductive process can begin
- 27. Reproductive Functions (Female) 3. Gestation — Fertilization to parturition — Develop embryo in uterus 4. Parturition — Expel fully developed young at birth 5. Lactation — Milk production
- 29. Ovulation Rates Ovulation Rates by Species Cow- 1 egg per estrus Ewe- 1 to 3 eggs per estrus Sow- 10 to 20 eggs per estrus Mare- 1 egg per estrus Hen- Approx. 28 eggs per month
- 30. Reproductive Terminology Species Act Offspring Cows calving calf Ewes lambing lamb Sows farrowing pig Hens hatching chick Mares foaling foal Goats kidding kid
- 31. Reproductive Functions (Female) Gestation and Lactation Periods: Species Gestation Period Lactation(Milking) Cow 283 - 285 days beef 180 - 270 days dairy 305 - 365 days Ewe 115 - 142 days 60 - 90 - 120 days Sow 112 - 115 days 21 - 42 days Mare 330 - 345 days 90 - 150 days Woman 270 days ? years
- 32. Reproductive Functions (Female) Estrous period length by species: Cow 12 - 18 hours Ewe 24 - 36 hours Sow 48 - 72 hours Mare 90 - 170 hours Hens & Women none
- 33. Reproductive Functions of the Female Estrous cycle - time from one heat period (or menstrual cycle) to the next. Length of estrous cycle by species: Cow 19 - 21 days Ewe 16 - 17 days Sow 19 - 21 days Mare 21 - 24 days Woman 28 days Hen none
- 34. The Male Reproductive Tract Objective: Identify the parts of the male reproductive system of livestock and poultry
- 36. Male Reproductive Tract • Scrotum - external sac that holds testicles outside of the body to keep sperm at 4-5oF cooler than the body temperature • Testicles - the primary male organs of reproduction • to produce sperm • to secrete testosterone
- 37. Male Reproductive Tract • Epididymis - Long coiled tube that is a path for sperm – Provide passageway for sperm out of the seminiferous tubules – Storage for sperm – Fluid secretion to nourish sperm – Place for sperm maturation
- 38. Male Reproductive Tract • Vas Deferens - slender tube from epididymis to urethra which moves sperm to the urethra at ejaculation • Urethra - long tube from bladder to penis; passageway for urine and sperm out of the body
- 39. Male Reproductive Tract • Penis - male organ of copulation which conveys semen and urine out of the body • Penis retractor muscle - allows extension and retraction of the penis; sigmoid flexure extends in copulation
- 40. Male Reproductive Tract Accessory Glands: • Seminal vesicles- add fructose and citric acid to nourish the sperm • Prostate Gland - located at the neck of the bladder – cleans the urethra prior to and during ejaculation – provides minerals for sperm – provides the medium for sperm transport – provides the characteristic odor of semen
- 41. Male Reproductive Tract • Cowper’s gland • Also called the Bulbourethral gland • Paired organs • cleans the urethra prior to semen passage
- 44. Reproduction in Poultry Objective: Specify how the reproductive system for poultry functions
- 46. Reproduction in Poultry The poultry oviduct has five parts: 1) Vagina – Holds the egg until laid 2) Uterus – Secretes the shell 3) Isthmus – Adds the two shell membranes 4) Magnum – Secretes the albumen 5) Infundibulum – Where fertilization takes place
- 49. Reproduction in Poultry • Major difference: – Embryo of livestock develop inside the female’s body while the embryo of poultry develops inside the egg. • Poultry only have the left ovary and oviduct when mature • The yoke is the ovum • Chicken Incubation – 21 days
- 50. Poultry Reproduction In your notes, define the following poultry reproductive terms and tell how they differ from livestock we have studied so far: •Papilla •Testicles •Cloaca •Vent •Ovary •Magnum •Isthmus •Uterus •Vagina Follow the Lecture
- 51. Assignment: Build a crossword puzzle containing 12 reproductive terms from your class notes. Have another student complete and sign your crossword puzzle. The assignment as well as your other assignment from the handout is due at the end of class.
- 52. Animal Reproduction and Genetics Objective: Describe the cell and process involved in cell division including how genes affect the transmission of characteristics
- 53. Animal Cell • The body is made up of millions of tiny cells • Most of the cell is made up of protoplasm • Cell parts: Nucleus Cytoplasm Cell membrane
- 55. Cell Division • Mitosis – Increases total number of cells – Results in animal growth – Chromosomes pairs are duplicated • Meiosis – Produces gametes – Only have one-half the chromosomes of normal cells
- 56. Fertilization • When the sperm from a male reaches the egg from a female • Two cells join to form a complete cell • Pairs of chromosomes are formed again • Many different combinations of traits are formed
- 57. Fertilization
- 58. Chromosomes • Rod shaped bodies • Made of protein • Found in the cell nucleus • Exist in pairs except for gamete cells • The number of chromosome pairs differ for various animals – Cattle 30 – Swine 19 – Horses 33 – Chickens 6 – Humans 23
- 59. Genes • Located on chromosomes • Thousands found in each animal • Control inherited characteristics – Carcass traits – Growth rate – Feed efficiency • Two types of inherited traits Dominant Recessive
- 60. Assignment 1. Read pages 186 • Livestock and Poultry Production textbook 2. Complete problems 1-9 3. Write the question and provide a short answer in complete sentences.
- 61. Genes • Dominant gene – Hides the effect of another gene – Polled condition in cattle is dominant – The gene is represented by a capital letter • Recessive – Gene that is hidden by another – The gene is represented by a lower case letter
- 62. Genes Example: The dominant gene is written- P The recessive gene is written-p P= Polled p= horned
- 63. Homozygous and Heterozygous • Homozygous gene pair – Carries two genes for a trait – Polled cow might carry the gene PP • Heterozygous – Carries two different genes that affect a trait – Polled cows might carry a recessive gene with the dominant Pp
- 64. Predicting Genotype • Genotype-kind of gene pairs possessed • Phenotype- the physical appearance of an animal • Punnett squares are used to predict genotypes and phenotypes of animals
- 65. Punnett Square P= Polled p= horned Example: • Two polled cattle that are homozygous for the polled trait P P P PP PP P PP PP Polled Dam
