Answers to Your Most Asked Synchronization Questions To help with your next beef cattle synchronization project, Sarah Thorson (GENEX Beef Marketing & Education Manager) has compiled answers to your most frequently asked questions. If you have further questions after reading this article, please reach out to your local GENEX representative or contact Sarah at sthorson@genex.coop.

What is the best synchronization protocol for cows and heifers?

There isn’t an easy answer to this question. Research suggests some protocols perform better than others, but just because research says it’s the best protocol, doesn’t necessarily make it the best protocol for your operation.

My advice is to ask yourself three questions before choosing a synchronization protocol: How many times am I willing to put the female through the chute?

How much am I willing to spend on synchronization drugs?

What are my expectations for results?

Once you know the answers to these questions you can objectively analyze which synchronization program is the best fit for your operation. No matter what the research or experts tell you, the best protocol for your operation is one that aligns with your goals. It’s the protocol you are 100% confident you can perform perfectly from start to finish.

What criteria should be used to ensure females are good candidates for A.I.?

The answer to this question depends if you are synchronizing heifers or cows.

Criteria for synchronizing heifers: Should have achieved at least 65% of mature body weight Minimum of 50% should have a reproductive tract score of ≥ 4 at six weeks before breeding If you don’t have a veterinarian in your area that offers reproductive tract scoring, don’t panic! You can achieve the same thing by visually observing heifers for heat in the weeks and months leading up to breeding. You want to observe at least 50% are cycling six weeks prior to breeding.

Criteria for synchronizing cows:

18

“The best protocol for your operation is the protocol you are 100% confident you can perform perfectly from start to finish.”

Body condition score of ≥ 5 at calving Group should average a postpartum interval of ≥ 40 days at the beginning of the protocol Each cow should be a minimum of 21 days postpartum at the time of Eazi-Breed™ CIDR® insertion Low incidence of calving difficulty

Where is the best place to give synchronization injections? What needle size should be used?

Synchronization drugs should be given in the muscle (IM) with the exception of LUTALYSE® Hi-Con, which can be administered IM or subcutaneously. When administering synchronization drugs, I recommend using a 1-½ inch, 18-gauge needle. Also, you should wear gloves when handling synchronization drugs to avoid contact with skin.

Can CIDR® inserts be reused?

CIDR® inserts are labeled as a one-time use item by the manufacturer, and I recommend following this guideline. CIDR® inserts are one of the most expensive parts of a synchronization protocol, retailing at $10 to $12, so it is tempting to cut that cost in half by using a CIDR® for a second time. The next time you are tempted, though, ask yourself what another A.I. calf is worth to you. It’s likely a lot more than $5 to $6.

Can vaccines and dewormer be given while the female is in the chute for CIDR® insertion?

A pre-breeding vaccination program is an important part of an overall successful A.I. program. However, several studies have shown injection of naïve heifers with a modified live vaccine (MLV) around the time of breeding resulted in ovarian lesions and decreased pregnancy rates. Therefore, it is recommended all pre-breeding vaccinations be given at least 30 days prior to breeding.

While there isn’t any research that suggests administering dewormer at breeding will have a negative impact on fertility, I recommend it be done at least 30 days prior to breeding as well. The less stress put on females around breeding time, the better your success. For optimal results, it’s best to do as little as possible to the females during the synchronization and breeding process.

How soon can cattle be moved after insemination?

The most critical time periods for embryonic development occur between day five (when the embryo begins its migration from the oviduct to the uterus) and day 42 (when the embryo has made definitive attachment to the uterus). Research indicates shipping cows during this critical time in embryo development can cause a 10% decrease in pregnancy rates. The best time to move cattle is prior to insemination or days one to four postbreeding. If you can’t move them within this time period, it’s best to wait until after day 45.

Despite what research might say, no single synchronization protocol fits every operation. Know your operation, follow the suggestions above and trust your gut!

A rancher’s job is never done, But it can be easier GENEX is making it easier to determine your fixedtimed A.I. synchronization and breeding program schedule! Simply use the Estrus Synch Planner on the GENEX Beef App. With a couple clicks of a button, you’ll know the days and times to insert a CIDR®, give synchronization injections and breed cows. It will even add the schedule to your device’s calendar!  19

NuLife® Oral Electrolyte

AVAILABLE IN BULK

NuLife® Oral Electrolyte is a supplement for calves to help combat dehydration due to scours. This supplement works to replenish lost fluids, electrolytes and energy. It can be mixed with milk, milk replacer or water. Administer 100g twice daily for two days. Continue feeding milk or milk replacer for efficient recovery, and provide water at all times. Available in a 100g pouch (934) or 44 lb. box (933). Each 44 lb. box contains two 22 lb. bags at 100 feedings each.

Defend Days 5, 10 & 21

NuLife® Pre 14-14 Program

Many agents – like Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Rota virus and Corona virus – can cause scours in calves.

Depending on the agent, they often impact calves on specific days of life, particularly days 5, 10 and 21 after birth. Cryptosporidium usually causes scours at 10 to 21 days. Administering NuLife® Oral Electrolyte can help prevent and overcome these issues.

Feed a low dose of electrolytes through the crucial time in a calf’s life to help prepare the calf should scours occur. Beginning on the calf’s third day of life, add 14g NuLife® Oral Electrolyte to a quart of warm water and offer it at the midday feeding. Continue for 14 days.
