The study evaluated strategies for induction of ovulation at the end of timed AI (TAI) protocols initiated after a novel presynchronization strategy. A total of 909 lactating dairy cows from 6 dairy herds initiated a presynchronization protocol on d -15 with an intravaginal progesterone (P4) implant and 7 d later (d -8) were treated with 1.0 mg of estradiol cypionate (EC) and 0.

The main objectives of the present study were to determine the effects of presynchronizing with a 1.0 g intravaginal progesterone device (IVPD) and prostaglandin F2α and to assess the effects of re-utilization of IVPD in a 2x2 factorial design, on the ovulatory response to first GnRH, ovarian status at different protocol stages, estrus expression and fertility in beef heifers submitted to a 5d-CO-Synch + Progesterone (P4) protocol. Beef heifers (n = 564) were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments at D-15: Pres5 (n = 283), where heifers received a (IVPD) for 5 days and administration of prostaglandin F2α (25 mg of dinoprost) at D-10; and Control (n = 281), where heifers received no treatment.

Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of using multivitamins in different estrus synchronization hormone protocols on estrus response, estrus onset, estrus duration, estrus intensity, and pregnancy rate in swamp buffalo.
Materials And Methods: This study used 30 post-partum adult buffalo, with three estrus synchronization methods treated: 1. Conventional plus Prostaglandin F2 α (PGF2α-PGF2α + multivitamin)-AI; 2.

Female sexual behaviors in rodents (lordosis and appetitive or "proceptive" behaviors) are induced through a genomic mechanism by the sequential actions of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P), or E2 and testosterone (T) at their respective receptors. However, non-steroidal agents, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), noradrenaline, dopamine, oxytocin, α-melanocyte stimulating hormone, nitric oxide, leptin, apelin, and others, facilitate different aspects of female sexual behavior through their cellular and intracellular effects at the membrane and genomic levels in ovariectomized rats primed with E2. These neurotransmitters often act as intermediaries of E2 and P (or T).

This study compared the effect of a 7-day estradiol- and a 7-day GnRH-based FTAI protocol versus a presynchronized GnRH-based FTAI protocol (7 & 7 GnRH) on pregnancy per AI (P/AI) in multiparous postpartum Angus cows. Cows were blocked according to presence/absence of a CL, body condition score, and days postpartum and assigned randomly to one of three treatments: I) 7-day EB (n = 368), estradiol benzoate (EB) and intravaginal progesterone-(P4)-releasing device (IVPD) on Day -10, prostaglandin F (PG), equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and estradiol cypionate (ECP) at IVPD removal on Day -3 with FTAI done on Day -1 (54 ± 2 h after IVPD removal); II) 7-day GnRH (n = 367), GnRH at IVPD insertion on Day -10, PG and eCG at IVPD removal on Day -3 with GnRH and FTAI on Day 0 (66 ± 2 h after IVPD removal); and III) 7 & 7 GnRH (n = 361), PG at IVPD insertion on Day -17, GnRH on Day -10, IVPD removal, PG and eCG on Day -3 with GnRH and FTAI on Day 0 (66 ± 2 h after IVPD removal). Preovulatory follicle diameter, corpus luteum (CL) presence, CL area, and P4 concentration were determined at IVPD removal, as well as estrus expression at FTAI and P/AI between 35 and 40 days after FTAI.
