exam 3 - PDing Flashcards
4 ways of synchronising estrus
1 - inhibit LH secretion with progesterone
2 - shorten CL lifespan with PGF2a
3 - manage follicular development with GnRH, FSH, LH, eCG etc
4 - combination
synchronisation rate
percentage of females detected in estrous compared to the total number of synchronised cows
conception rate
percentage of females pregnant compared to number of females inseminated
pregnancy rate
percentage of females pregnant compared to total number of synchronised females
inhibition of LH synchronisation
use progesterone, LH inhibited, after progesterone removal, follicular growth, estrus and ovulation occurs in 2-8d
shortening CL lifespan synchronisation
PGF2a 5d post ovulation then another 11-14d later, estrus will be 3-5d later so AI 72h after second shot if no signs of estrus
ovsynch
give GnRH
give PGF2a 7d later
give GnRH 56-60h later
fixed AI 16-20h later
first GnRH will induce ovulation or atresia of dominant follicle, allowing new wave 1-2d later
