Relationship of cow weight, cow condition and dosage of prostaglandin on synchronized heat

Authors

Abstract

Simmental cows on two Kansas ranches received either 2 or 3 ml injections of prostaglandin cloprostenol (Estrumate). Dose levels had little effect on response rate in either small or large cows. However, for each unit increase in body condition score, 12% more cows expressed heat.
