MGA+PGF and Syncro-Mate B • MGA+PGF was better in synchronizing heifers • 57.3% vs 36.6% • MGA+PGF in large field studies in KY produced conception rates of 58.3% • Synchronization rate with SMB generally from 35 - 50 %
MGA + PGF vs PGF Patterson et al., 1995
Results from Estrus Detection + AI Systems • MGA + PGF best system for heifers • MGA +PGF resulted in increased fertility in some studies • Syncro-Mate B highly varaible • Select-synch looks promising, but also variable

Recommendations • Current estrous synchronization systems can enhance AI success especially in anestrous postpartum cows • Systems using GnRH have some advantages over older systems • Including progestins in GnRH systems may further improve conception rates to synchronized estrus
