Estrus Synchronization Protocols for Heifers
Estrus synchronization and artificial insemination (AI) remain the most important and widely applicable reproductive biotechnologies available for cattle (Seidel, 1995). Although hormonal treatment of heifers and cows to group estrous cycles has been a commercial reality now for over 30 years, beef producers have been slow to adopt this management practice. Perhaps this is because of past failu...
متن کاملEstrous Synchronization Programs for Dairy Cows and Heifers
Introduction: Although milk production as measured by rolling herd averages has increased markedly for dairy herds in the Western United States over the last decade, reproductive performance of these herds has declined significantly. Average days open have increased by 25 days and fertility has declined as measured by an increase of 0.37 services per conception and first service conception rate...
متن کاملKeys to Successful Estrus Synchronization and Artificial Insemination Programs
Introduction The development of effective methods of synchronizing estrus and ovulation has been based on our understanding of the physiological and hormonal mechanisms controlling the estrous cycle and the initiation of estrous cyclicity and prepuberty in heifers and postpartum cows. Although estrus synchronization products (PGF2, MGA, CIDR and GnRH) and protocols have changed over time, the ...
متن کاملEstrus Synchronization Protocols for Cows
Estrous synchronization and artificial insemination (AI) are reproductive management tools available to beef producers for over 30 years. Synchronization of the estrous cycle has the potential to shorten the calving season, increase calf uniformity, and enhance the possibilities for utilizing AI. Artificial insemination allows producers the opportunity to infuse superior genetics into their ope...
متن کاملESTRUS SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEMS: GnRH
Development of methods to manipulate the estrous cycle so that all cows are in estrus during a short, predefined period (synchronized estrus) while maintaining normal fertility has been a difficult goal to achieve, but has resulted in the creation of valuable synchronization protocols that are available to producers today. Although implementation of estrus synchronization and AI will improve th...
