Australian Vet Journal, 60 pp. 40–43 The PGF2α injection helps to ensure there is no residual CL and the potentially ovulating follicle has been held primed for less time, enhancing its viability.
Protocol – PRID for 9 days. PGF2α injection on days 5–8. Serve on observed oestrus or fixed time once at 56h or twice at 48h and 72h.
