Journal Article
Lindley, G., Willshire, J., & Van Winden, S. (2021). Reproductive Performance and Partial Budget Analysis of a Prostaglandin or a Modified Ovsynch Protocol in Autumn Calving Dairy Herds. Animals, 11(4), 1031. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani11041031

In autumn calving dairy herds, treatment of cattle not observed in estrus prior to the breeding season is common. Routinely, a single prostaglandin or a modified Ovsynch (MOFT) protocol are used—without evidence of their relative effectiveness. This...
