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]
Estrous synchronisation is the process of targeting female mammals to come to heat within a short time frame (36 to 96 hours). This is achieved through the use of one or more hormones. Methods to improve our ability to synchronize the reproductive process and result in the ‘timed insemination’ without the detection of heat have been developed.
Female dogs bleed during estrus, which usually lasts from 7–13 days, depending on the size and maturity of the dog. Ovulation occurs 24–48 hours after the luteinizing hormone peak, which occurs around the fourth day of estrus; therefore, this is the best time to begin breeding.
In order to induce estrus, a variety of techniques have been tried in recent years, involving both more natural, and more hormonal based methods. [28] Different ways of injecting or feeding hormones to livestock are costly, and have variable success rates. [29] Average length (days) of estrus and estrous cycles: [29]
Pyometra or pyometritis is a uterine infection. Though it is most commonly known as a disease of the unaltered female dog, it is also a notable human disease. It is also seen in female cattle, horses, goats, sheep, swine, cats, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, rats and guinea pigs.
Instead of pumping heat, try a more insulating blanket or an electric mattress pad. Or sleep in socks—science has shown that wearing socks to bed helps you fall asleep quicker and stay asleep ...
