Abstrakt: To investigate the influence of estrus synchronization protocols following ovsynch and ovsynch + CIDR in Thari cows during different breeding seasons. Total (n=80) Thari cows 1st to 4th parity were selected for this study. The experiment was conducted twice in a year i.e. in October to January, n=40 (Peak breeding season) and March to May, n=40 (Low breeding season). Animals were divided into three groups (A, B and C). In group A, 02ml I/M injection of GnRH (25µg lecirelin acetate) were injected on day 0 and 9th of the treatment. On 7th day 05ml I/M injection of PGF2a analogue (5mg/ml dinoprost tromethamine) was administered. The group B animals received same treatment but Controlled Internal Drug Releasing Device (CIDR) (containing 1.38mg progesterone) inserted into vagina on 0 day of the treatment and removed on 7th day of the treatment. Group C (Control group) received 02ml normal saline on 0, 7th and 9th day of the treatment. The positivity of estrus in peak and low breeding seasons was higher in Group B (88.88% and 60%) followed by Group A (73.33% and 46.66%) and Group C (14.28% and 10%). Similarly Group B animals showed higher fertility rate (66.66% and 46.66%) followed by Group A (53.33% and 26.66%) and C (00% and 00%) during peak and low breeding seasons. It was concluded that the ovsynch plus CIDR induces superior estrus incidence and fertility as matched to other treatments and control group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
