RESUMEN
Se realizaron dos experimentos con el propósito de determinar si el tratamiento con gonadotropina coriónica humana (hCG) al momento de la inseminación artificial mejora la función del cuerpo lúteo, así como el porcentaje de concepción de vacas Holstein repetidoras. En el experimento 1 se seleccionaron 17 vacas Holstein bajo el siguiente criterio: Vacas con más de 3 servicios infértiles previos y sin anormalidades del aparato reproductor. Las vacas fueron divididas en dos grupos: Grupo hCG (n = 8), recibieron al momento de la inseminación 2500 UI de hCG. Grupo testigo (n = 9), no recibieron tratamiento. Se tomaron muestras de sangre para la determinación de progesterona diariamente desde el día de la inseminación (día 1) hasta el día 16. Las concentraciones de progesterona se compararon entre grupos mediante análisis de varianza para mediciones repetidas. En el experimento 2, se revisaron los resultados de 2 538 inseminaciones de vacas repetidoras seleccionadas bajo el mismo criterio del experimento 1. Mediante una prueba de Ji-cuadrada se comparó el porcentaje de concepción de 211 vacas que recibieron 2 500 UI de hCG al momento de la inseminación, con el que se obtuvo en 2 327 vacas que no recibieron tratamiento. Las concentraciones de progesterona fueron similares en las vacas del grupo tratado con hCG y testigo (P›0.05). Tampoco se encontró diferencia (P›0.05) en el porcentaje de concepción de las vacas del grupo hCG (40.8%; 86/211) y las testigo (34.2%; 795/2327). Se concluye que la administración de hCG al momento de la inseminación no mejoró la función del cuerpo lúteo ni el porcentaje de concepción de vacas Holstein repetidoras.
