The Effect Of Gnrh On Pregnancy Rates In Estrus-Synchronized Beef Heifers, M. Ferguson, L. Corah

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Injecting 100 mcg of GnRH into cycling heifers at artificial insemination following estrus synchronization with either prostaglandin or Syncro-Mate-B® did not improve first service conception rate. However, GnRH improved first service conception in Syncro-Mate-B®-treated heifers that did not exhibit estrus prior to breeding and were bred by appointment.
