Abstract

In two experiments we tested the hypothesis that administering 10 mg of prostaglandin F (PGF) to lactating dairy cows concurrent with timed artificial insemination would increase pregnancy outcome. In three herds with 2,135 inseminations, we failed to demonstrate a positive effect on pregnancy per AI. Although a trend was observed in experiment 1, with more cows in experiment 2, the PGF treatment failed to improve pregnancy outcomes.
