A. de C. aHormonal protocols for in vitro production of zebu and taurine embryos. c2014 aTítulo em português: Protocolos hormonais para produção in vitro de embriões de zebuínos e taurinos. aThe objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of hormonal synchronization protocols, associated or not with follicular development stimulation, on the recovery of oocytes and on in vitro production of Bos indicus and B. taurus embryos, in different seasons. Ultrasound?guided follicular aspirations (n=237) were performed without pre?treatment (G1, control group) and after follicular wave synchronization (G2), or after follicular wave synchronization and follicle growth induction (G3). Bos indicus produced more oocytes and embryos than B. taurus (18.7±0.9 vs. 11.9±0.6 oocytes and 4.8±0.3 vs. 2.1±0.2 embryos). On average, oocyte and embryo yields were higher in G3 than in G2, and both were greater than in G1, which lead to a higher conversion of oocytes to embryos in these treatments. The hot or the cold season did not affect the B. indicus outcomes, whereas, in B. taurus, both oocyte recovery and embryo production were higher in the cold season. Follicular wave synchronization improves ovum pick?up and in vitro production of embryos in both cattle subspecies evaluated. aartificial insemination aBos Indicus aBos Taurus aGado zebu aInseminação artificial aEstimulação com FSH aFollicle growth induction aFollicular wave synchronization aFSH stimulation aIndução de crescimento folicular aSincronização da onda folicular1 aMIYAUCHI, T.
