Estrus SynchronizationA. Benefits1. Decreased time and labor involved in:- Heat detection – necessary for shorter time period- Breeding – concentrate into a 2-5 day period- Parturition 2. Increased conception rate- Ovulation time would be known and “Time AI” could be used3. Increase use of AI- Allows greater use of superior genetics4. More efficient use of facilities- Breeding, parturition, weaning, and marketing could be better planned5. Important in ET (Embryo Transfer)B. Disadvantages1. Success rate can be low2. Requires more intensive management3. Amy be cost prohibitive- GnRH: cystorelin, factrel, and Fertagyl = $6.50/dose- PGF2α: lutalyse, estrumate, and prostamate = $2.50/dose- Progesterone: CIDR = $8/dose- Progesterone: melengestrol acetate (MGA) C. Methodsa. Cows1. Progesterone or progesterone-type compounds- Administration: oral, injectable, and vaginal insert)- Inhibits follicular development and ovulation, allows CL to regress at cow’s normal time and prevents new CL from forming- After removal, follicle develops and ovulation occurs 2-4 days later- Can be used in conjunction with prostaglandin- CIDR (intravaginal progesterone releasing device)o Day O: insert CIDRo Day 6: IM injection of prostaglandin(lutalyse, etc)o Day 7: Remove Inserto Day 8-12: Estrus detection and AI (12 hr. post estrus)o Introduce clean-up bull2. Prostaglandin (PGF2α)- Administration: IM injection- Causes CL to regress any time after day five of cycle - Approximately 1/3 of cow herd will not respond to single injection- Can be used in conjunction with progesterone - Lutalyse, estrumate, prostamateo Day 0: Inject IMo Day 0-7: Heat detect and AI (12hr. post-estrus)o Day 14: Inject IM to non-responderso Day 14-21: Heat detect and AI (12hr. post-estrus) or “Timed AI” (76-80 hr. post-injection)3. Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)- Administration: injection- Causes release of LH followed by ovulation and CL development- Also initiates development of a new dominant follicle 2-3 days later- Used in combination with PGF2α- Cystorelin, factrel or Fertagyl and lutalyse, estrumate or prostamateo Day 0: Inject GnRH IMo Day 7: Inject PGF2α IMo Day 6-12: Heat detect and AI (12hr. post-estrus)ORo Day 6-10: Heat detect and AI (12hr. post-estrus)o Day 10: Inject GnRH IM and “Timed AI” (72 hr)4. Combination of Progesterone, GnRH, PGF2α- Administration: Progesterone: Oral, GnRH & PGF2α: Injections- MGA, cystorelin, etc, and lutalyse, etc.o Day 1-14: Feed MGA (.5 mg/head/day)o Day 15: Remove MGA from feedo Day 26: Inject GnRH IMo Day 33: Inject PGF2α IMo Day 33-40: heat detect/AIo Day 41: Introduce clean-up bullb. Ewes- Not used to a great degree- If used, mainly vaginal progesterone sponges and PGF2α IM injectionc. Sows- PGF2α not effective until after day 14 of cattle (not very useful)- Some progesterone compounds usedo Oral for 18 days, remove and estrus will occur 4-6 days laterd. Mares- No real programs/not enough research doneII. Artificial Insemination A. Benefits 1. Allows use of genetically superior sires 2. Helps control diseases, particularly venereal disease3. Eliminates excess males on the farm- Safety issued with handling- Reduces costs: feed, facilities, etc.4. Allows for accurate record keeping**AI is an essential component of an estrus synchronization
