We compared pregnancy rates of beef cows subjected to the traditional Syncro-Mate-B protocol or the new Ovsynch protocol and timed insemination. Multiparous Angus cows (n = 436) were stratified by age, postpartum interval, and AI sire and were randomly divided into two treatment groups for synchronization of estrus/ovulation. Approximately half of the cows (n = 216) received the traditional Syncro-Mate-B protocol with 48-h calf removal from the time of implant removal until breeding. The remaining cows (n = 220) received the Ovsynch protocol, which consists of an injection of GnRH (100 microg) on d -10, an injection of PGF2alpha (25 mg) and 48-h calf removal on d -3, another injection of GnRH and calf return on d -1, and timed insemination 24 h later (d 0). Blood samples were collected from all cows before treatment to identify anestrous and cyclic females. Pregnancy rates were higher (P < .025) for Ovsynch-treated cows (54%) than for Syncro-Mate-B-treated cows (42%). Pregnancy rates of cyclic Ovsynch-treated cows (59%) were higher (P < .005) than pregnancy rates of cyclic Syncro-Mate-B-treated cows (38%). Pregnancy rates of anestrous cows also tended to favor synchronization with the Ovsynch protocol. From these data, we conclude that the Ovsynch protocol is capable of inducing a fertile ovulation in cyclic and anestrous beef cows and that pregnancy rates to a timed insemination are higher than those obtained with synchronization of estrus using Syncro-Mate-B.
