All good things must come to an end, our old Embryo guy retired we had used him for over 15 years. He supplied all of our drugs which included Estradiol and combo which has been banned which is the reason for the change in protocol, we can no longer get estradiol I don't know about the combo. Anyway the doc had them mixed for us and that is no longer an option.
The old protocol was:
A.I. Protocol
Day 1 CIDR in 2CC Combo
Day 7 CIDR out 5CC Lute or 2CC Estro Plan before 9:00 a.m.
Day 9 Estrodial 1CC before 9: 00 a.m.
Day 10 Check for heat a.m. Breed after 2:00 p.m.
The new protocol was recommended by the new embryo guy it is called the Missouri Protocol.
The new protocol is:
Day 0 CIDR in and 2cc GnRH
Day 7 Remove CIDR 5 cc PG
54 hours after removal of CIDR AI and 2cc GnRH
It is going to be hard to beat the success we have had over the past few years, but the cows did seem to be in a good heat when we bred them. One thing is for sure when we palpate we will know. I sure hope it works as well!
I will give you an update when we palpate. We will be doing a flush on Friday it will be intresting to see how the protocol worked on the recips.
