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 کاملEffects of melengestrol acetate on the inflammatory response in heifers challenged with Mannheimia haemolytica.
Previous research from our laboratory has indicated that melengestrol acetate (MGA) added to the diet during the first 35 d after arrival in the feedlot improves growth rates and tends to reduce chronic respiratory disease in heifers naturally challenged with bovine respiratory disease. The current study was conducted to provide further insight into the possible immunomodulatory effects of MGA....
متن کاملMelengestrol acetate alters muscle cell proliferation in heifers and steers.
In vitro experiments were performed to investigate the effects of melengestrol acetate (MGA) or progesterone (P4) on bovine muscle satellite cells and C2C12 myoblasts. Addition of MGA at physiological and supraphysiological concentrations resulted in a dose-dependent decrease (P < 0.05) in DNA synthesis as measured by [3H]-thymidine incorporation (TI). Similarly, P4 addition (0.01 nM) reduced (...
متن کاملDevelopment of an estrus synchronization protocol for beef cattle with short-term feeding of melengestrol acetate: 7-11 synch.
An estrus synchronization protocol (7-11 Synch) was developed to synchronize the first follicular wave and timing of ovulation in postpartum beef cows. In Exp. 1, follicular development and timing of ovulation in response to the following protocol were evaluated. Beef heifers (n = 12) and cows (n = 6), at random stages of the estrous cycle, were fed melengestrol acetate (MGA; .5 mg x animal(-1)...
متن کاملEstrus synchronization in ewes treated with sponges impregnated with different doses of medroxyprogesterone acetate.
The objectives of this study were to determine residual and absorbed levels of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MAP) after treatment with intravaginal sponges impregnated with different doses of MAP in an ewe herd and to determine the effects of such treatments upon estrus incidence, interval to estrus onset and pregnancy rate. Polyurethane sponges impregnated with 40, 50 and 60mg of MAP were prepa...
