A prostaglandin injection is used at the removal of the device and a second GnRH dose 2 days after removal. ]]> 2018-03-07 05:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jordan_mammoser/n37h8l2l9ziu/wish/239000745 Heifers vs. mature cows jordan_mammoser https://padlet.com/jordan_mammoser/n37h8l2l9ziu/wish/239003764 Heifers, after first reaching sexual maturity, have periods of 'silent ovulation' where they will not represent any sexual behaviors. Mature females exhibit much stronger mating behaviors such as vocalization, male seeking, and multiple other sexual behaviors.

This could possibly be because of the relaxed selection of artificial insemination or the high demands of milk production.
