A recent study conducted in Kafr El-Shaikh, Egypt, examined the impact of different durations and doses of fluorogestone acetate (FGA) treatment on estrus synchronization and early pregnancy detection in Ossimi sheep. The study found that a 7-day treatment protocol significantly improved estrus, pregnancy, and lambing rates compared to a 14-day protocol. Additionally, pregnant ewes showed elevated levels of pregnancy-associated glycoprotein 1 (PAG1) and progesterone (P), with higher PAG1 levels in ewes with multiple pregnancies. The research suggests that optimizing FGA sponge use could be cost-efficient for improving reproductive efficiency and early pregnancy management in sheep. [Extracted from the article] |
