syronising (cidrs) in older cows

Dunedin · 2017-01-10 20:58:24

Anyone do this in older cows? I do it every year with maiden heifers - approximately 60 - 70% success on first service . I have a few more second and third calvers which i am thinking of trying also, to both condense calving and use a few higher quality AI bulls.

It's probably used more in older cows than heifers which can be easily synched with Estruamte.
