Timed artificial insemination protocols in dairy cattle: Functioning, shortcomings, and improvements
Oestrus detection is currently at the top of the factors limiting the success of artificial insemination in dairy herds. This limitation becomes more pronounced as milk production increases because of higher metabolic clearance rates of steroid hormones ...

Timed artificial insemination in dairy cattle
Intensive genetic selection for milk production without attention to reproductive performance has contributed to an inverse relationship between milk production and reproduction. Therefore, estrus detection and animal identification have become increasingly difficult in dairy herds because of rising herd size and milk production.

Field assessment of a BCS measuring device at timed AI in crossbread dairy cows of Amazonian smallholders [PDF]
This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a body condition score (BCS) assessment device (BCAD) to identify cows with an adequate BCS and, presumably, a higher fertility when subjected to timed artificial insemination (TAI).

SYNCHRONIZATION OF ESTRUS AND OVULATION IN DAIRY CATTLE [PDF]
Development of bovine estrus synchronization protocols started in the 1970’s. The aim of these protocols has changed progressively from synchronizing estrus to synchronizing ovulation with main goal of performing insemination without heat detection ...

Oral progesterone supplementation for beef cattle after insemination in TAI programs [PDF]
: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of supplementation with melengestrol acetate (MGA), after timed artificial insemination (TAI), on the conception rate of Nellore cows, according to cyclicity during the protocol, estrus expression ...

Synchronization of ovulation in crossbred dairy heifers using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist, prostaglandin F2a and human chorionic gonadotrophin or estradiol benzoate [PDF]
Girolando (Gir x Holstein) is a very common dairy breed in Brazil because it combines the rusticity of Gir (Bos indicus) with the high milk yield of Holstein (Bos taurus).

: Lactating dairy cows are classified as spontaneous ovulators, in which establishment of pregnancy depends on the accuracy of detection of behavioral estrus for correct timing of artificial insemination (AI).
