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...
متن کاملProduct Development for Estrous Synchronization : Beef Cattle
Physiological principals underlying synchronization of estrus identified 1) hormones naturally controlling the estrous cycle of cattle, 2) hormones commercially available, 3) mode of action of the hormones commercially available, and 4) when/how they might be used to manage estrus and breeding of beef cattle. The products available are progestogens (melengestrol acetate (MGA) and progesterone d...
متن کاملEstrous 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...
متن کاملSynchronizing Estrous in Beef Cattle
Synchronization of estrus contributes to optimizing the use of time, labor, and financial resources by shortening the calving season, in addition to increasing the uniformity of the calf crop. The major limitation of estrus-synchronization programs is their inability to induce a potentially fertile estrus and ovulation in noncycling cattle (i.e., prepubertal heifers and anestrous suckling cattl...
متن کاملEffect of follicle age on conception rate in beef heifers1
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of age of the ovulatory follicle on fertility in beef heifers. Ovulation was synchronized with the 5 d CO-Synch + controlled intravaginal drug release (CIDR) program in heifers in Montana (MT; n = 162, Hereford and Angus Crossbred) and Ohio (OH; n = 170, Angus Crossbred). All heifers received estradiol benzoate (EB; 1 mg/500 kg BW, [i.m.])...
