The aim of this study was to examine whether the nutritional state of cows peripartum was associated with the recovery of ovarian function and conception rates after synchronization of ovulation and fixed-time artificial insemination (OVSYNCH/TAI). The effect of the interval in days from calving to the first ovulation on conception rates after OVSYNCH/TAI was also investigated. Conception rates of cows after OVSYNCH/TAI (n=39) were 43.6%. The conception rates of cows with a body condition score (BCS) of 2.75-3.25 at 30 d postpartum and on the day of OVSYNCH treatment were significantly higher than in cows with a BCS ≤2.5 (P<0.05). The percentage of cows establishing ovarian cyclicity before 55 d postpartum in cows with a BCS of 2.75-3.25 at 30 d postpartum and on the day of OVSYNCH treatment were significantly higher than in cows with a BCS ≤2.5 (P<0.05). The conception rates after OVSYNCH/TAI in cows which recovered ovarian cyclicity within 34 d postpartum were significantly higher than in cows with first ovulation ≥56 d (P<0.05). These results indicated that the nutritional state in cows peripartum influenced the conception rates after OVSYNCH/TAI and the postpartum ovarian cyclicity and also suggested that the conception rates after OVSYNCH/TAI decreased in cows with delayed recovery of ovarian cyclicity.

Surveillance of Echinococcus multilocularis in 98 pet dogs kept in a rural area of Hokkaido, Japan, from March 2018 to March 2019 suggested infection in seven dogs (7.1%) by E. multilocularis-specific copro-DNA examination, and one of them excreted E. multilocularis eggs that were identified by sequence analyses. Among the infected dogs, three were not allowed to run free when outdoors. Based on detection of E. multilocularis eggs in fox feces collected from roadsides in the same area, dogs kept in rural areas may have a high probability of becoming infected after preying on infected voles along such roadsides, even in domesticated settings. Therefore, examination along with periodic deworming administration is considered necessary to prevent transmission from dogs to owners.
