The following are further recommendations for properly using oxytocin: Oxytocin should not be used as a substitute for obstetrical assistance. Hum Reprod Update. Figure 1 Phases of the bovine estrous cycle. PubMed Data sources include IBM Watson Micromedex (updated 5 Feb 2023), Cerner Multum (updated 22 Feb 2023), ASHP (updated 12 Feb 2023) and others. Indeed, recent studies have highlighted some SP proteins and peptides as putative biomarkers for sperm functional capacity and in vivo fertility outcomes of pig semen AI-doses [13,14,15,16]. Okazaki T, Ikoma E, Tinen T, Akiyoshi T, Mori M, Teshima H. Addition of oxytocin to semen extender improves both sperm transport to the oviduct and conception rates in pigs following AI. After this incubation time, 26L of Merocyanine 540 (M-540, 0.1mmol/L in DMSO) was added to each semen sample and incubated for at 38C in darkness another 2min. Meconium staining is a good indicator that the piglets are oxygen deprived. Am J Obstet Gynecol 1984; 150:225228. (Oxytocin Injection, USP) Seitchik J, Amico J, et al: Oxytocin augmentation of dysfunctional labor. Ejaculate volume (mL) was measured by depositing the freshly collected ejaculate in a graduated cylinder while sperm concentration (106 sperm/mL) was measured with an automated cell counter (NucleoCounter NC-100TM; ChemoMetec, Allerod, Denmark). The possibility of increased blood loss and afibrinogenemia should be kept in mind when administering the drug. Pitocin may contain up to 16% of total impurities. Entire ejaculates were collected from mature (ranging from 9 to 35months [mos.]) doi:10.1002/14651858.CD006794.pub4. Subsequent to intra-amniotic injection of hypertonic saline, prostaglandins, urea, etc., for midtrimester elective abortion, the injection-to-abortion time may be shortened by infusion of Pitocin at the rate of 10 to 20 milliunits (20 to 40 drops) per minute. Some practitioners choose to turn the Pitocin up quickly, while others prefer to take it slow. This increase in litter size was not found in the present study, perhaps because the SP-OXT concentrations measured in the present study were significantly lower than those used in the aforementioned studies, which ranged from 0.04 to 0.1IU/mL. 2022 Feb 28;18(1):81. doi: 10.1186/s12917-022-03176-w. Front Vet Sci. Where there is significant cephalopelvic disproportion; In unfavorable fetal positions or presentations, such as transverse lies, which are undeliverable without conversion prior to delivery; In obstetrical emergencies where the benefit-to-risk ratio for either the fetus or the mother favors surgical intervention; In fetal distress where delivery is not imminent; Where adequate uterine activity fails to achieve satisfactory progress; Where the uterus is already hyperactive or hypertonic; In cases where vaginal delivery is contraindicated, such as invasive cervical carcinoma, active herpes genitalis, total placenta previa, vasa previa, and cord presentation or prolapse of the cord; In patients with hypersensitivity to the drug. [27] found no relationship between seminal OXT concentration and ejaculation volume in men. 2014;85(1):814. Boars were subjected to a regular ejaculate collection (twice weekly) to produce semen AI-doses. A total of 36 ejaculates (one per boar) collected from boars of different ages (from 9 to 35 months) of the same mentioned above breeds were used. If you are being induced with Pitocin, there are several additional safety precautions that may be needed during your labor and delivery. Intravenous infusion of 10 units of Pitocin added to 500 mL of a physiologic saline solution or 5% dextrose-in-water solution may help the uterus contract after a suction or sharp curettage for an incomplete, inevitable, or elective abortion. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjem.2018.08.001. 2012;32(3-4):1517. A. To the best of our knowledge, only a previous study, conducted in humans, evaluated the relationship of seminal OXT to male fertility and found that fertile men had lower SP-OXT concentrations than infertile men [27]. Although no studies have measured the concentration of oxytocin in the different segments of the male genital tract, it is reasonable to think that the concentration of OXT in SP was positively related to the total amount secreted by the different male reproductive tissues and, therefore, to the contractile capacity of the smooth muscle of these tissues. Jung Y, Yoon M. Oxytocin receptor expression in stallion testes and epididymides. Boars were grouped (hierarchical clustering, P<0.001) into three groups by having positive (green), without (grey) or negative (red) deviation. 2011;66:1122. In second trimester abortion, oxytocin infusion will often be successful in emptying the uterus. It is administered by an IV injection that helps start contractions or further them. C-D: Box-and-whisker plot showing the SP concentrations of OXT in the ejaculates from boars showing positive, without and negative deviation in farrowing rate (FR; C) and litter size (LS, D). It plays an important role in various functions, including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and reproduction. Similarly, a wide variability (P<0.001) in the SP concentrations OXT was found among ejaculates from a same boar (intra-boar variability). Table1 shows the median and the 2575th percentiles of boar age, ejaculate characteristics and sperm parameter assessed in each SP-OXT group. Some of the above empirical studies found that the supplementation of AI-doses with OXT also improved litter size in addition to farrowing rates [31, 33, 34]. Introduction Oxytocin is a hormone that is synthesized in the neurons of the brain and transported to the posterior pituitary. In pigs, the main role attributed to OXT is to facilitate the contractility of the myometrium [28]. Mostafa et al. Local OXT synthesis and the presence of OXT receptor (OXTR) have been located in the male reproductive tract of several mammalian species (pig: [20]; cow: [21]; rat: [22]; horse: [23]; sheep: [24]; human: [25]). By Robin Elise Weiss, PhD, MPH In conclusion, OXT was present in pig SP in measurable concentrations, which differed among boars and among ejaculates within boar, showing higher concentrations in young boars. https://doi.org/10.1016/0014-2999(92)90376-F. Akoglu H. Users guide to correlation coefficients. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, Office of Research on Women's Health. Following intramuscular injection of the drug, uterine response occurs within 3 to 5 minutes and persists for 2 to 3 hours. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2012.04.003. Oxytocin is a peptide hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter. Oxytocin (OXT), a small peptide hormone mainly synthetized in the magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus, would be another SP component potentially This medication is often used when labor does not begin on its own by the due date or there are medical (or other) reasons that necessitate early delivery. 4B).

This project was supported by MICINN and FEDER [AGL201679096-R and PID2020-113493RB-I00] Madrid (Spain), Seneca Foundation [19892/GERM/15] Murcia (Spain), European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019-891382). Improper oxytocin use can also cause an increased number of stillbirths by causing ruptured umbilical cords that lead to decreased oxygen delivery to the piglet during birth. For sperm viability, semen aliquots of 100L were incubated with 3L H-42 (0.05mg/mL in PBS), 2L propidium iodide (PI, 0.5mg/mL in PBS) and 2L fluorescein-conjugated peanut agglutinin (PNA-FITC, 100g/mL in PBS) during 10min at 37C in darkness (Sanyo MIR-153 incubator, Gemini BV, Apeldoorn, Netherlands).

Influence of hormone supplementation to extended semen on artificial insemination, uterine contractions, establishment of a sperm reservoir, and fertility in swine. Except in unusual circumstances, oxytocin should not be administered in the following conditions: fetal distress, hydramnios, partial placenta previa, prematurity, borderline cephalopelvic disproportion, and any condition in which there is a predisposition for uterine rupture, such as previous major surgery on the cervix or uterus including cesarean section, overdistention of the uterus, grand multiparity, or past history of uterine sepsis or of traumatic delivery. official website and that any information you provide is encrypted From each ejaculate, a semen sample of 5mL was centrifugated twice at room temperature at change to: 1,500 g for 10min (RT, Rotofix 32A, Hettich Centrifuge UK, Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England, UK). However, these relationships were supported by correlation coefficients less than 0.5, indicative of fair relationships [48]. However, even a small reduction in laboring may provide significant relief to the pregnant mother. Am J Primatol. Specifically, in pigs has been identified OXTR in the epididymis and testis [20]. 2019;138:318. Identification of relevant in vivo biomarkers for fertility remains a challenge for the livestock industry. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0162958.

Pharmacol Biochem Behav. One-way ANOVA was carried to evaluate potential differences on SP-OXT concentration between the three groups. Three technical replicates (with 10,000 events positive to Hoechst 33342 [H-42]) were analyzed for each semen sample. New England Journal of Medicine2018; doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1800566, Wei S, Wo BL, Qi HP, et al. volume12, Articlenumber:101 (2021) PubMed However, these concerns are not easy to affirm or dismiss because the perception of pain is quite subjective and variable. Its effect on length of insemination, pregnancy rate and litter size. Prez-Patio C, Parrilla I, Barranco I, Vergara-Barbern M, Sim-Alfonso EF, Herrero-Martnez JM, et al. An oxytocic agent is any drug that can speed up the process of childbirth. Violin plots showing the oxytocin (OXT) concentration measured in seminal plasma (SP) samples from entire ejaculates (n=61) collected from boars of different breeds (Duroc, n=14; Pietrain, n=18; Landrace, n=15; Large White, n=14) used as semen donors in artificial insemination programs. https://doi.org/10.1080/01652176.2012.735126. The datasets from the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request. It has numerous functions, but the two most known are for the milk letdown reflex and stimulation of uterine contractions. Oxytocin in pig seminal plasma is positively related with in vivo fertility of inseminated sows. Oxytocin is frequently used to decrease farrowing time and birth interval as an aid to prevent stillbirths. 4D). Administer oxygen to the mother, who preferably should be put in a lateral position. TGF-1 levels in seminal plasma relates positively to porcine in vivo fertility. 2010;31(2):188200.

The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Assessing Affective States in Livestock. The dosage of oxytocin is determined by the uterine response and must therefore be individualized and initiated at a very low level. doi:10.1002/14651858.cd007123.pub2, Costley PL, East CE. Despite these considerations, there was a good reliability among ejaculates within boar, as ICC (3,1) was 0.78 (0.610.90; 95%). Oxytocin augmentation of labour in women with epidural analgesia for reducing operative deliveries. Oxytocin stimulation of uterine contractions will decrease the interval between piglet births and is used on many farms as an intervention to reduce still births and aid in the farrowing process. Treatment of swine summer infertility syndrome by means of oxytocin under field conditions. Anim Reprod Sci. 2014;23(1):9-16. doi:10.1891/1058-1243.23.1.9, Grobman, WA, et al. For example in one study, 75% of stillbirths were recorded after the 8th pig was born when sows were allowed to farrow without intervention. The second experiment intended to find out if SP-OXT concentrations were related to the age of boars and ejaculate characteristics and if they influenced sperm parameters from diluted semen samples stored at liquid state, such as those used in AI programs. https://doi.org/10.2527/2003.814821x.
