Timing of early resynchronization protocols affects subsequent pregnancy outcome in dairy cows.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of an early resynchronization protocol (Resynch) initiated at different timepoints after timed artificial insemination (TAI) and with unknown pregnancy status. Holstein cows (n = 164) were submitted to the following TAI protocol: D0, insertion of an intravaginal progesterone (P4) device and 2 mg im estradiol benzoate (EB); D8, removal of P4 device and treatment with 0.5 mg im sodium cloprostenol (PGF); D9, 0.
