Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the capability of the donor cattle to produce embryos by comparing three cattle breeds, namely Bos taurus beef cattle (Limousin), Bos taurus dairy cattle (Friesian Holstein/FH), and Bos indicus beef cattle (Peranakan Ongole/PO). This research was observational method with in vivo embryo production method and a nonsurgical embryo collection method (flushing). The data collected were then processed using the one way ANOVA method. The results showed that the number of CL, response rate, total number of embryos, and recovery rate in PO cattle, FH cattle, and Limousin cattle did not differ significantly (P0.05). The appropriate number of embryos to be transferred and degenerative embryo were significantly different among PO cattle, FH cattle, and Limousin cattle (P0.05), while the unfertil ova, fertilization rate, and transferable embryo did not differ among cattle breed (P0.05). This research concluded that each breed of the donor cattle produced embryos with varies quality and the best quality of embryo production is found in Limousin cattle.

Abstract

Embryo transfer (ET) is a reproductive biotechnology used to accelerate the dissemination of superior genetics. However, its success under Indonesian tropical conditions remains variable and may be influenced by physiological and adaptive differences between dairy and beef cattle used as embryo donors. This study compared in vivo embryo production between Holstein-Friesian (HF) and Limousin donor cattle. The study was designed as a comparative observational study using selected donor cattle, comprising 11 HF and 25 Limousin cows maintained under standardized ET management. The observed parameters included superovulatory response, represented by the number of corpora lutea (CL), total ova/embryos collected, fertile embryos, transferable embryos, embryo quality, response rate, and recovery rate. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and breed differences were analyzed using Welch’s independent t-test when variance heterogeneity was detected, and Cohen’s d was used to estimate effect size. Limousin cows showed higher CL counts than HF cows (12.72 ± 6.98 vs. 6.55 ± 2.88; P < 0.001), produced more total ova/embryos (11.44 ± 6.45 vs. 6.00 ± 3.00; P < 0.001), fertile embryos (9.16 ± 5.17 vs. 3.45 ± 2.81; P < 0.001), and transferable embryos (5.76 ± 4.29 vs. 1.91 ± 2.07; P < 0.001). Response rate between HF and Limousin cows was 94.12% vs. 92.86%, as was the recovery rate (89.92% vs. 90.12%). Overall, these findings indicate that under the conditions of this study, Limousin cattle exhibited higher superovulatory responses and embryo production than HF cattle, although breed-specific protocol optimization remains necessary.
