Beef Synchronization Protocols

December 3-4, 2012 the Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle Conference was held in Sioux Falls, SD.  During the Conference the Beef Reproduction Task Force met and approved the latest recommendations in beef cattle synchronization.  The Beef Reproduction Task Force is made up of A.I. industry professionals and extension staff.  They work together to review literature and make sound research based recommendations for synchronization to producers. 

The newest addition to the protocol sheet is the PG 5-day CO-Synch + CIDR protocol and is recommended for use in Bos indicus influenced cattle only.

The new protocols will be included in the 2013 Beef Genetic Management Guide when it is printed in January.
