Estrous synchronization

Methods to improve our ability to synchronize the reproductive process and result in the ‘timed insemination’ without the detection of heat have been developed.

Increasing the productivity of embryo transfer and artificial insemination is economically profitable as the costs associated with veterinarian and semen services are reduced.

The reduction of costs occur because vets are required for less time to do the inseminating because the period of ovulation of the herd is decreased to 2-5 days.

estrous synchronization enabled this change in the herd’s breeding routine to allow dairy farmers to produce milk for human consumption year round.

The application of estrous synchronisation enables the farmer to reduce costs involved in the hire of AI technicians and semen import.

[7] Furthermore, maintaining nutrition and herd health are major factors when it comes to the achieving optimum reproductive performance through estrous synchronisation.
