Well hello everyone! Many of you may not recognize me, but I used to frequent the boards a while back. Ever since I've been in college, though, I haven't had much time to stop by and post and such...but every once in a while I do try to browse the boards to see what's going on and to pick up extra knowledge.
I'm working on a project for my Reproductive Physiology class and I had a question for those of you familiar with the use of CIDRs to synchronize estrus in a breeding program. In my research, I found that it costs about [EDIT] $12 per head to use CIDRs; that is purely the cost of the CIDR and the CIDR applicator. With time and facility requirements set aside, when do you think it would NOT be cost effective to use CIDRs to synchronize estrus in your females? (As in, how many females would you have to have for it to be cost INeffective to use CIDRs to synchronize estrus?)
Thanks!
Jay
