4. Timing of Events in the Reproductive Cycle
6. Methods of Estrus Detection Surgically altered
Vasectomized
Gomer bulls
Androgenized cows or steers
7. Methods of Estrus Detection Chinball marker
Heat-Mount detectors (ie. K-Mar patches)
Chalk or paint tail head
9. Considerations of Estrus Detection Cost
Time and labor
Ability of male to achieve intromission
Proper Heat Detection is Critical
10. Artificial Insemination Genetic improvement through increased use of superior sires
Disease control
Improved record keeping
Eliminates need for keeping bulls
Time required to detect estrus
Percent of cows in estrus during the breeding season
Trained personnel required
Overuse of inferior sires
12. Methods of Artificial Insemination
13. AM/PM Rule for Cattle Universally accepted time for insemination
Cows detected in estrus in the morning are bred that same afternoon, those found in estrus in the afternoon are bred the next morning
