Comparison of techniques for synchronisation of oestrus and subsequent fertility in beef cattle

Abstract: One hundred and seventy-eight heifers and 275 suckling cows were allocated to either a control (untreated) group or to one of three groups treated to synchronise oestrus. The treatments were eitheraprogestagen ear implant (SMB),aprogesterone intravaginal device (pRIO + PMSG), or two injections ofaprostaglandin analogue (pG). Progestagen treatments effectively synchronised oestrus with similar numbers ofanimals exhibiting oestrus within 2 days of treatment, as were observed over 21 days in the control group.

“…One of the major limitations of the use of prostaglandins to synchronize oestrus in dairy cows is the failure of the drug in anoestrous or non‐cyclic cows (Stevenson and Pursley 1994). Progestogens have the advantage that, besides improving oestrous synchronization, they also induce oestrus and ovulation in an acceptable percentage of anoestrous cows (Smith and Kaltenbach 1990; Fike et al. 1997).…”
