Evaluation of luteolysis and estrous synchronization by a prostaglandin analog (Luprostiol) in Brahman cows and heifers.
A trial was conducted to evaluate the ability of a prostaglandin analog, Luprostiol (LP), to synchronize estrus in Brahman cows and heifers. Animals were injected with either 0, 3.75, 7.5, 15 or 30 mg LP or 500 micrograms cloprostenol (CLP) on d 8 or 9 after estrus (d 0). All concentrations of LP (greater than 0 mg) and CLP caused luteolysis in cows and heifers, as indicated by a decline (P les...
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 کاملComparison of long-term progestin-based estrus synchronization protocols in beef heifers.
Two experiments evaluated long-term progestin-based estrus-synchronization programs on the basis of potential for use in facilitating fixed-time AI in estrous cycling and prepubertal beef heifers. In Exp. 1, heifers were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments by age, BW, and estrous cyclicity status. Heifers assigned to the melengestrol acetate-PGF(2α) protocol (MGA-PG; n = 50) received MGA (0.5 mg·anim...
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 کاملPregnancy rate among beef heifers from timed insemination following synchronization with a progestin treatment.
Five trials were conducted with 958 virgin beef heifers to evaluate the effects of various breeding management methods on pregnancy rate at synchronized estrus and during a 45-day artificial insemination (AI) season. Synchronization was achieved with the progestin treatment regimen Syncro-Mate-B (SMB). Pregnancy rate at first service and cumulative pregnancy rate were affected (P less than .01)...
