Two experiments were conducted to assess the effect of buck exposure to synchronize estrus in mature and pre-pubertal norgestomet-treated crossbred (criolloxdairy breeds) goats. In experiment 1, 100 mature goats (25 per group) under range conditions were either teased at 48 or 24h before Sincromate-B (SMB; 9 days treatment of 2mg norgestomet) implant withdrawal. A third group was exposed to buc...

The objective of this study was to determine whether there were doses at which the synthetic progestin, norgestomet, could mimic midluteal phase concentrations of progesterone in regulating the secretion of LH and 17p-estradiol in bovine females. Heifers were randomly assigned to one of five groups to receive: 1) one (Norg, n = 5), 2) two (2Norg, n = 5), 3) four (4Norg, n = 5), or 4) eight (8No...

this study investigated the effect of gnrh analogues on inducing ovulation of dominant follicle (df)and subsequent corpus luteum (cl) lifespan in the presence of norgestomet implant in holstein heifers. onday 6 to 8 of the estrous cycle (day 0 of the experiment), all heifers (n=15) received norgestomet implantfollowed by prostaglandin injection on days 0 and 1. on day 4, group 1 (n=4) and 2 (n=...

This study investigated the effect of GnRH analogues on inducing ovulation of dominant follicle (DF)and subsequent corpus luteum (CL) lifespan in the presence of norgestomet implant in Holstein heifers. Onday 6 to 8 of the estrous cycle (day 0 of the experiment), all heifers (n=15) received norgestomet implantfollowed by prostaglandin injection on days 0 and 1. On day 4, group 1 (n=4) and 2 (n=...

progestagens have been used in order to control follide wave dynamics in camelids, however, the results are contra versial.the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of single norgestomet implant on ovarian follicle development in bactrian camel. bactrian camels (n=8; 6-14 years old) were assigned randomly to two groups. norgestomet treated group (n=4) received one implant of norge...

An experiment was conducted to determine whether short estrous cycles following abortion of heifers between 70 and 75 d of gestation are due to factors associated with the previous presence of a conceptus or long-term exposure of the uterus and(or) ovaries to a progestogen. Fifty crossbred heifers were randomly allotted at estrus (d 0) to five groups: control (n = 10), pregnant (Preg.; n = 14),...

The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of diff erent estrus synchronization protocols on reproductive parameters in nulliparous Saanen goats at the end of the transition period. In this experiment, 71 nulliparous Saanen does were used and divided into four treatment groups as norgestomet implant plus GnRH (Imp-G), norgestomet implant (Imp), FGA sponge plus GnRH (Spo-G), and FGA...

Synchronization of estrus and ovulation are of paramount importance in modern livestock improvement programs. These methods are critical for assisted reproduction technologies, including artificial insemination and embryo transfer, that can increase productivity. In the current study, subcutaneous implants containing norgestomet were placed for long (14 days), medium (9 days), and short (5 days...

Aim: The study was undertaken to find out the estrus induction and fertility response in delayed pubertal Kankrej heifers treated with norgestomet ear implant. Materials and methods: Total eighteen anoestrus Kankrej heifers of delayed puberty weighed above 250 kg and attained between 30 to 36 months of age were selected and divided in to three groups of six animals each at random to conduct the...
