Responses to intra-luteal administration of cloprostenol in dairy cows.

The aim of the study was to determine the luteolytic dose of cloprostenol administered directly into the corpus luteum (CL; intra-luteal treatment, ILT) in dairy cattle. Cows of two control groups were treated with 500 μg of cloprostenol (Estrumate®) intramuscularly (IM-500) or via ILT with 0.2 mL of physiological solution (ILT-0).
