2014 - VOLUME III
Dear CETA/ACTE Members,
Welcome to the final newsletter for 2014. This is a very busy time of year for most
people as they attempt to balance work commitments with family commitments. With
the continued increases in beef prices, even busier times are ahead for those involved in
this part of ET practice, and therefore highlighting the importance of the Embryo
Export Approval Program for those exporting embryos. The success of this program is
incumbent on the continued support of CFIA towards those delivering this program and
it is our hope, together with CLGA, that the proper levels of funding to maintain and
expand markets will be continued.
I would like to take this time to acknowledge some changes at the Board level. On behalf
of CETA/ACTE, I would like to thank Dr. Ken Christie for the time he donated these
past 6 years. His insight and input on the Board and his time spent as chair of the
Certification Committee is certainly appreciated, as is his friendship. Also, I would like to
welcome Dr. Luc Besner to the Board in his role as Chair of Health Regulations and
Industry Liaison. Luc I hope you find this endeavor worthwhile and fun! Last but not
least, thank-you Dr. Rob Stables for your successful stewardship as President of
CETA/ACTE these past 2 years.

The joint CETA/ACTE and AETA convention held in Middleton/Madison this past fall was a success. Many
positive comments were conveyed through the convention surveys regarding the program and it appears that the
convention had a positive financial outcome. I would like to thank our Secretary Manager, Karen McDermott,
and the convention committee for their time and diligence in helping to make these conventions a success. They
are hard at work planning our joint convention in Niagara Falls next fall and in making preparations for
upcoming conventions such as the joint CETA/ACTE, AETA & IETS convention to be held in 2017.
It has been a very busy time for the Certification Committee this fall as the Certification Standards are
undergoing an update to be presented to the Board for approval at the mid-year BOD meeting held in Montreal,
January 31, 2015. Please bring forward to our board members any concerns you wish to have discussed at this
time.
Finally, I would like to wish everyone a happy, restful holiday season. Take time to enjoy yourselves and your
families, and all else that is important to you. May the promise of the New Year bring you hope, love, and
success.
Respectfully,
Werner Debertin, DVM

SUMMARY:
Only about 50% of the embryos of modern dairy cows have been reported to be viable by 7 days after ovulation as
compared to ~80% in non-lactating cows. A growing body of evidence indicates that low circulating progesterone after
ovulation in dairy cows seems to be related to lowered conceptus growth and most likely mediated through changes in the
endometrium. However, other factors may also play a role in the decreased fertility, with most issues related to poor oocyte
quality and/or inadequate uterine environment to support early embryo growth before day 7.
Low circulating calcium concentrations (<8.59 mg/dL) in the postpartum seem to be a key element to explain poorer
immunity, uterine environment, and overall health in the lactating cow. Additionally, lower circulating glucose and the
resulting insulin-resistant state of postpartum cows required to cope with high levels of milk production has recently been
associated with reduced embryonic growth.
Cows experiencing clinical or subclinical uterine infections in the postpartum period have lower postpartum fertility. Higher
milk production does not seem to be a major drawback to uterine involution postpartum and/or subclinical uterine
infections indicated by proportion of PMN cells. But poor uterine environment (greater proportion of PMNs) can greatly
impair oocyte fertilization capacity.
High producing cows may have a lower circulating concentrations of both E2 during pro-estrus and P4 in the diestrus (due to
their greater steroid metabolism) likely causing a suboptimal uterine environment. More precise synchronization systems
are in part capable to counter act this excessive metabolism of steroids in the lactating cows and producing fairly
satisfactory pregnancy results to timed AI breedings. Ultrasonographic measurement of endometrial thickness (ET) near
ovulation could be a good indicator of hormonal environment (i.e. low P4 and/or high E2), and could be used to assess
whether the uterus has been exposed to adequate concentrations of hormones compatible with optimal fertility. It appears
that P4 priming prior to the periovulatory period combined with a rapid decrease in circulating P4 after induction of
luteolysis and greater circulating E2 near ovulation were critical for the remarkable changes in ET during the periovulatory
period and ultimately good fertility.
Heat stress can induce a rapid release of PGF2 from endometrial tissues regardless of reproductive status of the cow. The
embryo may have problems in inhibiting PGF2 release during heat stress. Heat stress causes changes in the oviduct smooth
muscle motility that could perturb transport of gametes in the oviduct and transport of the embryo to the uterus. This, in…

…addition to perturbed follicle development and oocyte quality, may help explain the sharp drop in conception results
experienced by herds during warmer months of the year.
Negative net energy balance (NEB) compromises fertility in several ways. Besides alterations in CL regression mechanisms
through changes in oxytocin receptor expression induced by NEB, uterine involution may also be compromised by severe
NEB with associated increased concentrations of NEFA commonly observed in the early postpartum in lactating dairy cows.
Cows having severe NEB have much greater levels of inflammation in the uterus, and greater expression of genes involved in
tissue remodeling. In a study cited, cows that lost more weight from calving to 3rd week postpartum had lower rates of
fertilized structures, more degenerated embryos, and less transferable and freezable embryos. These results are also in
alignment with a much worse conception rate for cows that lost more body condition score after freshening. This highlights
the importance of minimizing NEB and excessive body score losses during the postpartum period in dairy cows.
