Effect of Immunocastration Vaccine Administration At Different Doses on Performance of Feedlot Holstein Bulls
Öz
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of immunocastration vaccine administration at different doses on fattening performance of feedlot Holstein bulls. In this research, 94 Holstein male calves assigned to the 4 treatments. Control group; 1 mL of 0.9% saline solution was subcutaneously injected to intact bulls on 1st and 60th days of the feedlot as placebo. On the same days of the feedlot, Immunocastration vaccine (Bopriva®) at two doses of 1 mL and 1 mL for Trial-1 group, 1.5 mL and 1.5 mL for Trial-2 group, 1.5 mL and 1 mL for Trial-3 group were subcutaneously injected to bulls. The feedlot lasted 180 days. Immunocastration vaccine administration at different doses did not affect the live weights (LWs) and cold carcass yields of feedlot Holstein bulls (P>0.05). However, it reduced fattening performance between 61-120 days (P<0.05) and 1-180 days (P<0.01). As a result, it was decreased the fattening performance that administration of Bopriva® at different doses as a GnRH vaccine in Holstein male bulls; whereas it was determined that numerically increase in average daily live weight gain was found in the Trial-2 group than the other groups to which the immunocastration vaccine was applied.
