Two experiments were conducted to determine whether cannulation of the jugular vein in gilts alters serum concentrations of LH, FSH, prolactin (PRL) or cortisol (C). In Experiment 1, 12 crossbred prepubertal gilts weighing 95 +/- 1.3 kg were immobilized by snaring, and tygon tubing was threaded into the anterior vena cava through a 12-gauge needle inserted into the jugular vein. Five hours later, blood samples were drawn at 20-min intervals for 4 h (Day 0). Samples were also drawn at 20-min intervals for 4-h periods 24 h (Day 1) and 48 h (Day 2) after cannulation. Serum concentrations of LH were similar (P=0.26) among Day 0 (0.40 ng/ml), Day 1 (0.39 ng/ml) and Day 2 (0.34 ng/ml). Serum PRL was similar (P=0.07) among Day 0 (4.10 ng/ml), Day 1 (3.87 ng/ml) and Day 2 (3.43 ng/ml). Serum concentrations of C were greater (P < 0.001) on Day 0 (8.32 ng/ml) than Day 1 (4.48 ng/ml) or Day 2 (3.54 ng/ml). In Experiment 2, cannulas were placed in 29 prepubertal gilts. Two days after initial cannulation, six blood samples were drawn at 20-min intervals. Gilts were then immobilized by snaring, and a second cannulae was inserted into the contralateral vein. Five blood samples were taken at 2-min intervals during the second cannulation and then six samples were drawn at 20-min intervals. Serum LH and FSH were not altered by cannulation or elevated during the subsequent 2-h sampling period (P>0.05). In contrast, serum concentrations of PRL rose slowly (P<0.05) during cannulation and remained elevated for 60 min before returning to baseline. Serum concentrations of C rose within 6 min of cannulation, remained elevated for 30 min, and then declined over the next 90 min. From these two experiments, it appears that secretory patterns of LH and FSH can be accurately assessed immediately after cannulation in prepubertal gilts. Measurements of serum PRL and C that reflect nonstressed conditions, however, cannot be obtained until at least 2 h or 1 d after cannulation, respectively.
