The effect of administration of gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue at estrus or during luteal phase on reproductive performance of dairy cows maintained under sub-temperate climate

Overall, 531 dairy cows were inseminated with the aim to study their reproductive performance following administration of GnRH analogue on different days of estrous cycle with different doses. These cows were divided into six treatment and one control group. Depending upon different treatment groups, Buserelin acetate was injected at a dose of 10.5 µg or 21.0 µg on different days (0, 5 or 12) o...
