Comments
This system works well in cows. No estrus detection required.

Fixed time AI can be done at 72 (+/- 2) hrs. after 1st PG injection.
All females require a GnRH injection at fixed-time AI.
This system can initiate estrous cycles in some noncycling females.
Expect lower fertility in cows less than 50 days postpartum at time of PG injection.
Two full doses of PG at least 6 hours appart are critical for success
Immediate addition of clean-up bulls could lead to questions about parentage.

Estimated average number of times per head through the working facility:
Comments
This system works well in cows. No estrus detection required.
Fixed time AI can be done at 72 (+/- 2) hrs. after 1st PG injection.
All females require a GnRH injection at fixed-time AI.
This system can initiate estrous cycles in some noncycling females.
Expect lower fertility in cows less than 50 days postpartum at time of PG injection.
Two full doses of PG at least 6 hours appart are critical for success

Planner Tips & Overview
Abbreviations:
CIDR = Controlled Intravaginal Drug Release device - contains 1.38 g progesterone. Date to start breeding:
This is the day that you wish to start heat
E-AI = Estrus detection followed with artificial insemination 6 to 12 hrs after observed detection and AI. In the case of Fixed-
standing estrus (heat). Time AI, this is the day that you wish to
inseminate the whole group.
FTAI = Fixed time artificial insemination
GnRH = Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone [Commercial products available include:

Cystorelin (Merial), Factrel (Zoetis), Fertagyl (Merck), OvaCyst (Bayer
), GONAbreed (Parnell)] Time of day you want to breed:
Used with Clean-up AI and Fixed Time AI
MGA = Melengestrol Acetate systems. The average number of hours
between PG administration and
PG = Prostaglandin F2alpha [ Commerial products available include: Estrumate insemination should be close to the
(Merck), EstroPLAN (Parnell), InSynch (Agri Labs), Lutalyse (Zoetis), ProstaMate suggested interval. Strive for the
(Bayer)), High Concentrated Lutalyse (Zoetis), Synchsure (Merial)]. recommended interval +/- 2 hours.
Operation: Detection-Insemination type:

1. Provide inputs regarding when you wish to start breeding animals. 1 =Estrus AI. Inseminate animals 6-12
hours after standing heat is first
2. Select a estrus detection - insemination category; Estrus detection and then AI, observed.
Fixed-time AI (no estrus detection), or a combination of Estrus-AI followed by a cleanup
AI on remaining animals not yet bred. 2 = Estrus AI &Clean-up AI =
insemination following observed estrus
3. Select the system that you wish to use from the Cow System list or the Heifer System up to time point prescribed in schedule,
list. followed by mass insemination of animals
not previously detected in heat.
4. Fill in the appropriate information regarding the drug costs, head count, etc.
3 = Fixed -Time AI = a single, mass
5. Go to the PRINT OUT or CALENDAR page and select print from the Excel menu insemination of all animals. No heat
