Perry, Extension Dairyman, New Brunswick, and began operations May 17, 1938. It began operations with 102 members and 1,050 cows enrolled.
The product label typically indicates that, in conjunction with an appropriate synchronization protocol, CIDRs should be left in for 7 days. [2] Ovsynch is a particular protocol that is often followed. [5] These estrus synchronization protocols allow Fixed Time Artificial Insemination to be used, giving herd managers more accurate control. [6]
