Exploring uterine inflammation in postpartum primiparous precocious and conventional and multiparous Bos indicus beef cows.

This study aimed to compare the postpartum uterine dynamics of primiparous precocious (PP), primiparous conventional (PC) and multiparous conventional (MC) Bos indicus beef cows. For this purpose, PP (n = 8), PC (n = 18) and MC (n = 12) cows were enrolled in this study. These cows were evaluated at 20 and 10 days prepartum and weekly from parturition to 42 days postpartum (DPP).

GnRH34 with or without estradiol cypionate in timed AI in Bos indicus beef cows.

Two experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of GnRH treatment on the fertility of suckled Nelore beef cows treated with an estradiol/progesterone (E2/P4)-based protocol for timed artificial insemination (TAI). Experiment 1 focused on determining the effects of estradiol cypionate (EC) on ovulation in TAI cows treated with GnRH 34 h after removal of the intravaginal P4 device (IPD). Suckled cows (n = 26) were treated with 2 mg estradiol benzoate (EB) and IPD containing 1 g P4.

GnRH34: An alternative for increasing pregnancy in timed AI beef cows.

Two experiments evaluated the effects of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) treatment on fertility of suckled Nelore beef cows treated with an estradiol/progesterone (P4)-based protocol for timed artificial insemination (TAI). Experiment 1 was designed to determine the effect of GnRH administered 34 h after P4 insert removal (GnRH34) on time of ovulation. Suckled cows (n = 34) were treated with 2 mg estradiol benzoate (EB) and an intravaginal insert containing 1.
