Abstract

Syncro-Mate B® was capable of inducing estrous behavior in ovariectomized cows. Lengthening the norgestomet implant period from 9 to 18 days did not prevent estrus. The ability of Syncro-Mate B to induce estrous behavior in ovariectomized cows helps explain the variable conception rates obtained after using this product in intact cows.
