Learning Outcomes
Students are able to explain the
definition and regulation of reproductive hormone.
Students are able to develop the
reproductive optimization by understand the hormonal phase.
Definition of Hormones
Chemical Messengers
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands in the body that regulate various
physiological functions.
Target Tissues
Hormones travel through the bloodstream and bind to specific target tissues to
elicit a response.
Regulation
Hormone production and release are tightly regulated by feedback mechanisms, ensuring optimal function.
Groups of Hormones
1
ProteinsPolypeptide hormones ranging from a molecular
weight of 300 up to 70.000 daltons, eg: oxytocin, FSH and LH.
2
SteroidsCholesterol derived and have molecular weight of 300 to 400 daltons, eg: testosterone.
3
Fatty AcidsAmines
4
Arachidonic acid derived and have a molecular weight of about 400 daltons.
Tyrosine and Tryptophan derived, eg: melatonine.

Hormonal Regulation of Bulls
Folicle Stimulating Hormone
Stage 2: Meiosis
Spermatocytes undergo meiosis, reducing the chromosome number by half.
Stage 3: Spermiogenesis
GnRH

Hormonal Regulation of Female Cattle
Hormone Name Abbreviation Role in Estrous Cycle
Follicle stimulating Hormone FSH Recruitment of the group of small follicles from the pool of growing follicles on each ovary.
Luteinizing Hormone LH A preovulatory surge of LH results in the ovulation of the ovulatory follicle.
Progesterone P4 Inhibits ovulation.
Estrogen E2 Elevated concentrations in the absence of
progesterone cause behavioral changes
associated with standing estrus and cause the release of a surge GnRH.
Prostaglandin PG Induces the destruction of the CL.

Case Study
Dairy farmers face
challenges related to
irregular estrous cycles and delayed conception in their cattle. Indentify the
factors that influencing
those case.
Case Study Problem Solving
Those Case Influenced by:
1. Genetic 2. Nutrition
3. Body Condition Scores
4. Environmental Factors
5. Management Practices
Conclusion
Understanding the role of hormones in livestock reproduction is crucial for optimizing animal health, manage breeding programs and production.
