Abstract

"Estrus synchronization of beef cows and heifers is simple and easy, due to extensive research efforts at the University of Missouri and other institutions. Several protocols and other resources have been developed to allow beef producers to effectively synchronize estrus and ovulation among the herd. Estrus synchronization will involve use of one or more of the following compounds: prostaglandin F2a (PG), gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), a progesterone-releasing intravaginal controlled internal drug release (CIDR), or the progestin feed additive melengestrol acetate (MGA). This publication provides an overview of the function, handling considerations, and proper administration of these products."--First page.
