FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF A CLINICAL-TRIAL COMPARING SIMPLE ESTRUS DETECTION WITH ESTRUS DETECTION AFTER PROSTAGLANDIN-BASED APPOINTMENT BREEDING IN A COMMERCIAL DAIRY-HERD IN CALIFORNIA, USA

PREVENTIVE VETERINARY MEDICINE, 18(4), 239–257.

By: B. Slenning n

TL;DR: An economic analysis of the outcomes from a clinical trial on dairy cow reproduction suggested that conception rates to estrus detection based breedings are not likely to alter the decision, but conception rate to the appointment breeding program in conjunction with the elapsed time postpartum when the decision to breed is implemented and estrus Detection rates can cause the PT strategy to be optimal.
