Prostaglandin F2a was commonly used for synchronisation in mares. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of single and double doses of PGF2a on estrous, ovulation and pregnancy rates. Therefore 43 Thoroughbred mares, between 4-17 years old, were used. Thirty mares 10 mg PGF2a (Dinoprost Tromethamine, Dinolytic) was injected intramuscularly, regardless of the stage of the estrous cycle, for synchronization. Estrous behaviors and follicular development were examined with daily teasing and rectal palpation every other day, after PGF2a injection and ovulation times determined daily rectal palpation during estrous. The ma-res which in estrous (n: 11) natural service …

Variations in estrous and ovulation times occur because of follicle diameter during PGF2a injection, in mares. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of follicle diameter on estrous and ovulation. Therefore 43 estrous cycles were evaluated in 32 Thoroughbred mares. Ten mg PGF2a (Dinoprost Tromethamine, Dinolytic) was injected intramuscularly in diestrous period for synchronization. Follicle diameters were measured and divided into groups in centimeters as follows ² 1 cm, 1-2 cm, 2-3 cm, 3-4 cm ve > 4 cm, during PGF2a injection. Result of daily teasing and rectal palpation every other day and daily rectal palpation during estrous …
