Influence of progesterone-treatment length and eCG administration on appearance of estrus behavior, ovulatory success and fertility in sheep

The present study characterizes, for sheep, the occurrence and timing of the onset of estrus behavior and ovulation and the yields obtained (ovulation rate, progesterone secretion, and fertility) after Controlled Internal Drug Release (CIDR) insertion for five, six, seven, or fourteen days, with or...
