Questions and Answers

Manipulation of the cyclic activity and estrus synchronization in farm animals. Oestrus synchronization is the manipulation of the reproductive process using external hormone treatment so that groups of females can be bred during a short predefined interval with normal fertility. The inability to predict time of estrus for individual cows or heifers in a group, because of the labor required for detection of ______.

estrus

Available procedures to control the ______ cycle include; 1. Synchronization of estrus in cycling females and2. Induction of estrus accompanied by ovulation in heifers that have not yet reached puberty or among cows that have not returned to ______ after calving.

estrous

A successful ______ synchronization program brings a number of well-recognized advantages to the beef cattle operation: (1) Cows or heifers are in ______ during a predictable interval, which allows for the use of AI, embryo transfer, or other planned reproductive techniques.

estrus

The time required to detect ______ is reduced. (3) Cattle will conceive earlier during the breeding period; To maximize the benefits from ______ synchronization, females should be selected for a program when the following conditions are met: 1.Adequate time has elapsed between calving and the time synchronization treatments are implemented (a minimum of 40 days post-partum at the beginning of treatment is suggested).

<p>The advantages of a successful oestrus synchronization program include cows or heifers being in estrus during a predictable interval, which allows for the use of AI, embryo transfer, or other planned reproductive techniques.
