Use of Injectable Progesterone as a Pre-Synchronisation Strategy in a Timed Artificial Insemination Protocol Based on Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone and Progesterone in Bos indicus Beef Cows in Anoestrous.

This study evaluated the effects of pre-synchronisation with injectable progesterone (P4) on the ovarian follicular dynamics of Bos taurus indicus cows in anoestrous treated with a timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocol. Multiparous Nelore females (n = 47) at 30-60 days postpartum were used in this study. 10 days before (D-10) the TAI protocol, antral follicle count (AFC; follicles ≥ 3 mm), ovarian condition and body condition score (BCS; 1-5) were assessed and were randomly allocated into two groups: Pre-sync (n = 25), which underwent pre-synchronisation with 150 mg of injectable P4 intramuscularly (i.
