Are there any new drugs or protocals out for Estrus Synchronization? Maybe newer or easier than the CIDR Protocal? ...and what are some of the advantages of estrus synch, besides a smaller calving season?

Thanks in advance,

Ryan
 
Ryan, probably no one answered your questionS because there's too much to answer.
Anyway, Genex & some of the other studs usually list all the sync programs, many do not use CIDRs
I use Lutalyse as a TOOL during breeding season. If one shows signs but not standing and we don't breed her, thinking she is COMING in - than nothing. I will wait 6 days & hit her with Lut to bring her back into heat - rather than waiting another 3 weeks.
Also use Lut on cows that had retained placenta (like cows that had twins) 10-14 days after calving, hit her with Lut. Or if you have a cow that you had to pull the calf, and she shows signs of infection, hit her with Lut.
