USE OF GONADOTROPHIN-RELEASING HORMONE (GNRH) IN BOVINE REPRODUCTION IN FIXED-TIME ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (FTAI)

Abstract

Efficient reproduction is an essential component for the economic success of cattle farming, and the Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI) technique has become a valuable tool for maximizing the reproductive efficiency of the herd. Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) plays a crucial role in synchronizing ovulation and increasing conception rates in cattle. However, the effectiveness of GnRH in the specific context of the Nelore breed still requires detailed investigation. This research project aims to evaluate the impact of using GnRH in TAI to determine the pregnancy rate in Nelore females (MARTINS, 2021).
