Presentation Transcript

  1. Animal Reproduction Biology Agriculture

  2. Reproductive System • Ovaries • Female reproductive gland in which eggs are formed and hormones are produced. • Testes • Male reproductive gland that produces sperm and testosterone.

  3. Reproductive System • Female Reproductive Cell • EGG (OVULE) • Male Reproductive Cell • SPERM • Semen - the fluid that carries sperm

  4. Reproductive System • Production of sperm is called SPERMATOGENESIS • Production of eggs is called OOGENESIS

  5. Reproductive System • Zygote • Cell formed by the union of egg and sperm at fertilization. • Embryo • Organism in early stages of development. • Pregnancy • carrying a fetus • Fertilization • the union of the egg and sperm nuclei

  6. Reproductive System • Conception • occurrence of fertilization • Ovulation • release of an ovule from the female. • Gestation • the time from fertilization or conception of a female until she gives birth

  7. Reproductive System • Vulva -opening of reproductive tract

  8. Reproductive System • Vagina - channel for birth and copulation

  9. Reproductive System • Cervix - divides vagina and uterus

  10. Reproductive System • Uterus - provides nourishment for fetus

  11. Reproductive System • Horns of Uterus - where fetus grows

  12. Reproductive System • Fallopian Tube - where fertilization occurs

  13. Reproductive System • Ovaries - produces eggs and hormones

  14. Reproductive System • Testes - produce sperm and testosterone

  15. Reproductive System • Epididymis - collects and stores sperm

  16. Reproductive System • Vas deferens - transports sperm

  17. Reproductive System • Penis - places sperm in female

  18. Reproductive System • Scrotum - protects testes, maintains temp

  19. Reproductive System • Sheath - opening of reproductive tract

  20. Animal Reproduction • Ovaries – produces eggs and hormones

  21. Animal Reproduction • The ovaries are stimulated by a hormone called the follicle stimulating hormones (FSH) and produce a FOLLICLE where the egg (ovum) grows and matures

  22. Animal Reproduction • When the egg matures the follicle ruptures and releases the egg - OVULATION

  23. Animal Reproduction

  24. Mating Process • Around the time of ovulation estrogen causes estrus or heat • The time that the female will allow the male to mate with her • Males seek out females that are in estrus

  25. Mating Process • During mating millions of sperm are deposited in the female vagina. • Sperm moves by using their tails in a whiplike action – motile

  26. Mating Process • Sperm travels from the vagina through the cervix and uterus and into the fallopian tubes • Sperm and egg unit in the fallopian tube

  27. Reproductive Technologies • Reproductive Technologies • Any method of reproduction that is different from natural methods

  28. Reproductive Technologies • Embryo Transfer: • The transfer of fertilized egg(s) from a donor female to one or more recipient females

  29. Reproductive Technologies • Embryo Transfer

  30. Reproductive Technologies • Embryo Transfer

  31. Reproductive Technologies • Super Ovulation: • Giving animals a hormone that causes them to produce more then one egg.

  32. Reproductive Technologies • Artificial Insemination • Placing sperm into the female reproductive tract by means other than natural mating.

  33. Reproductive Problems • Sterility: • Inability of an animal to reproduce • Freemartin: • In twins, when a female is exposed to male testosterone before birth. • Causes problems with the development of female reproductive organs

  34. Reproductive Practices • Purebreeding • Breeding two pure breed animals together • Usually papered to prove genetics • Crossbreeding • One breed is breed to another • Ex. Angus x Herford = Black Baldy

  35. Reproductive Practices • Grading-up • Taking grade cows and breeding to purebreds
