Effect of vaccination against gonadotropin-releasing factor (GnRF) with Bopriva® in the prepubertal bull calf

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of immunization against gonadotropin-releasing factor (GnRF) with Bopriva® (Pfizer Animal Health, Parkville, Australia) in prepubertal bull calves. For the study, 6 calves were vaccinated at the age of 3 and 6 weeks with 1mL Bopriva®, and 6 animals se...

description The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of immunization against gonadotropin-releasing factor (GnRF) with Bopriva® (Pfizer Animal Health, Parkville, Australia) in prepubertal bull calves. For the study, 6 calves were vaccinated at the age of 3 and 6 weeks with 1mL Bopriva®, and 6 animals served as matched controls. Concentrations of GnRF antibodies, testosterone and LH were determined in serum samples out to 30 weeks after the first immunization. Body weight and scrotal circumference were measured for 59 weeks. At slaughter, 65 weeks after the first immunization, the quality of epididymal sperm was evaluated. The results showed that vaccination against GnRF influenced (P

Antibody titers significantly (P&lt;0.05) increased after the booster vaccination and reached peak values 2 weeks later. Compared to control animals, inhibition (P&lt;0.05) of the prepubertal LH secretion was observed in vaccinated calves at weeks 10 and 12–14 after the first vaccination. In vaccinated calves testosterone concentrations decreased after the booster injection to values below 0.5ng/mL serum and remained for at least 22 weeks at this low level. Animals vaccinated with Bopriva® showed a delay in testes growth and smaller scrotal circumference. Puberty occurred at the age between 46 and 55 weeks in vaccinated and between 38 and 52 weeks in control animals and body weight gain was similar in both groups.
