Effect of delaying time of AI based on Estrotect patch status on pregnancy rates of beef heifers and nursing beef cows
Altmetrics
Abstract
Four studies were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a delayed timed AI (TAI) protocol. The objective was to evaluate the use of Estrotect patch status to determine optimum TAI implementation. Experiment 1 was conducted with, 997 cows across 6 locations were administered a 7-d CO-Synch + controlled internal drug release (CIDR) estrous synchronization protocol. The experimental design was a 2 x 2 factorial; factors were patch status at 58 h post PGF2α injection (activated or inactivated) and time interval from PGF2α to TAI (58 or 76 h). Patch status was characterized at 58 h post PGF2α ...
