Fixed-time artificial insemination in beef cattle

BACKGROUND The study was designed to test the effect of fixed-time artificial insemination (fixed-AI) after the slightly modified Ovsynch protocol on the pregnancy rate in beef cattle in Finnish field conditions. The modification was aimed to optimize the number of offsprings per AI dose. METHODS Ninety Charolais cows and heifers were entered into the program an average of 1.8 times. Thus, 16...

Experiences in Artificial Insemination of Beef Cattle in North Queensland

Artificial insemination was used in an attempt to breed three groups of Brahman cross cows on two properties in north Queensland. On one property the attempt was abandoned due to low incidence of detected oestrus in lactating cows. On the other property calving rates following insemination were 20.8% and 16.4% over two years. Vibriosis was one cause of low fertility. Semen was collected satisfa...
