Efficacy of various five-day estrous synchronization protocols in sheep

Effects of different five-day progesterone-based synchronization protocols on the estrous response and follicular/luteal dynamics in dairy cows

This study compared the responses shown by lactating dairy cows to four different P4-based protocols for AI at estrus. Cows with no estrous signs 96 h after progesterone intravaginal device (PRID) removal were subjected to fixed-time AI (FTAI), and their data were also included in the study. In Experiment I, follicular/luteal and endometrial dynamics were assessed every 12 h from the beginning ...

Evaluation of Three Estrous Synchronization Protocols in Beef Heifers1

Objectives of this study were to evaluate synchronization, conception, and pregnancy rates of heifers synchronized with melengestrol acetate (MGA)-prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α,), Select Synch, or Select Synch preceded by MGA (MGA-Select Synch). Heifers in the MGA-PGF2α group (n = 209; BW = 378 kg) received MGA (0.5 mg/ d per heifer) for 14 d and PGF2α (25 mg) 19 d later. Select Synch heifers (n = 2...

Estrous Cycle Synchronization In

E STRUS and ovulation in gilts have been successfully inhibited by daily injections of progesterone (Ulberg et al., 1951; Baker et al., 1954) and more recently by the inclusion of progestational compounds in the feed (Nellor, 1960; Dzuik and Baker, 1962). The successful use of orally active progestational agents to synchronize the estrous cycles of gilts without a subsequent reduction in fertil...

comparison of efficiency of five heat synchronization protocols in holstein cows during heat stress

the aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of five synchronization protocols, economically, in holstein cows during heat stress. this experiment was conducted at a commercial dairy farm in summer 2015 (temperature humidity index 73–81). five hundred holstein dairy cows with ˃25 kg/d milk yield were randomly assigned to five experimental groups: 1) ovsynch; 2) presynch-ovsynch; 3) doubl...
