  • Title: Synchronization of oestus and timed insemination of mares.
    Author: Hyland JH, Bristol F.
    Journal: J Reprod Fertil Suppl; 1979; (27):251-5. PubMed ID: 289798.
    Abstract:
    Oestrus was synchronized in 116 mares by means of an i.m. injection of prostaglandin F-2 alpha (Day 0) and of fluprostenol (a PG analogue) on Day 16. Mares were then randomly divided into three groups. Group A mares (N = 30) were given 2500 i.u. hCG I.M. ON Day 20 and artificially inseminated on Day 21 without detection of oestrus. Group B mares (N = 32) were given 2500 i.u. hCG i.m. on Day 20 and inseminated on Days 21 and 23, also without oestrus detection. Group C mares (N = 54) were teased on Days 18, 19, 21, 23 and 25 and inseminated on Days 19, 21, 23 and 25 while they were in oestrus. Semen was collected by artificial vagina from 3 stallions. One-third of the mares in each group were assigned to each stallion at random. The gel-free fraction was divided equally among the mares, and used within 1 h of collection. Pregnancy rates at about 60 days of gestation were not significantly different. A high rate of synchronization of oestrus (80%) was attained within 48 h of treatment with fluprostenol.
