Inseminating heifers 72 hr after the PG injection in the melengestrol acetate/ prostaglandin F (MGA®/PG) estrous synchronization system, without regard to behavioral estrus, tended to improve (P=.2) the percent of ...
Synchronization of estrus in yearling beef heifers with the MGA®/prostaglandin system: I. effect on inducement of puberty and conception rates

Corah, L.R.; Yaeger, J.R.; Whittier, J.C.; Meiske, J.C.; Patterson, D.J.; Olson, K. C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-14)

We evaluated the estrous response and fertility of yearling beef heifers after treatment with melengestrol acetate (MGA) and prostaglandin F2" (PG). The 304 heifers, at three locations, were allotted to two ...

Larson, Robert L.; Corah, L.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-10-14)

The percentage of heifers conceiving to artificial insemination (AI) following melengestrol acetate/prostaglandin F2"(MGA®/PG) estrous synchronization can be increased by mass insemination of all heifers not showing estrus ...
Sustained effects of porcine somatotropin administered during the growing period on growth and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs

Fitzner, G.E.; Kropf, Donald H.; Hines, Robert H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-02-11)
