  • Method for breeding control in female bovines
    Patent number: 4610687
    Abstract: A method for reducing the time to estrus onset and duration of estrus in female bovines, is described. The method involves a sustained low level release of progestin over time with injection of a luteolytic agent, particularly a prostaglandin, towards the end of the time such that there is an overlap of progestin and prostaglandin administration. The sustained release is preferably by means of a vaginal implant. The method is faster and easier to use than prior art methods.
