The effect of follicular wave synchronization using GnRH and LH on pregnancy rate was studied in 60 adult female alpacas, and 60 adult female llamas. Females with follicles ≥ 7mm detected by ultrasonography were randomly allocated in three experimental groups of 20 animals each one: Control group (1 ml saline solution, IM), GnRH group (0.004 mg of buserelin acetate, IM) and LH group (5 mg of LH, IM). The ovarian response to treatments was evaluated by transrectal ultrasonography to determine the interval in days from treatments to new follicular wave emergency and to the day which the new dominant follicle reached ≥ 7mm in diameter. The intervals from the treatments to follicular emergency were similar (p> 0.05) in Control (4.5 ± 1.2 days and 4.7 ± 1.2 days); GnRH (4.3 ± 1.4 days and 4.6 ± 1.2 days) and LH groups (4.5 ± 1.2 days and 4.0 ± 1.2 days), for alpacas and llamas respectively. The interval from the treatment to the day on which the new dominant follicle reached ≥ 7 mm in alpacas did not differ in Control (8.4 ± 1.9 days), GnRH (9.0 ± 1.6 days) and LH (7.9 ± 2.0 days) groups (p> 0.05). Meanwhile in llamas, the interval from the treatment to the presence of the new dominant follicle in GnRH (7.9 ± 1.6 days), and LH (6.7 ± 1.6 days) groups were different in comparison to Control group (9.6 ± 1.0 days) (p less 0.05). Follicular sizes in alpacas a day before mating were smaller in GnRH (6.8±1.4 mm) and Control (7.2 ± 1.3 mm) groups in comparison to LH group (8.9 ± 1.9 mm) (p less 0.05). Additionally, in llamas follicular size a day before mating was different (p less 0.05) among Control (6.4 ± 1.3 mm), GnRH (8.5 ± 0.6 mm) and LH (10.4 ± 3.6 mm) groups. Mating was permitted 12 days after treatments. Animals were evaluated by ultrasonography to determine ovulation rate on day 2 after mating and pregnancy rate on day 35 after mating. After mating, ovulation rate were similar in Control (85.7% and 64.7%), GnRH (94.4% and 88.9%) and LH (85.7% and 77.8%) groups, for alpacas and llamas, respectively. Pregnancy rate on day 35 after mating were similar for all groups (p> 0.05), Control (78.6% and 47.1%), GnRH (77.8% and 66.7%), and LH (64.3% and 72.2%) for alpacas and llamas, respectively. In conclusion, synchronization with GnRH or LH did not affect on the intervals from treatments to emergency of new follicular wave, ovulation rate post mating, nor pregnancy rate in alpacas and llamas.
