Prostaglandins promising better breeding results KALAMAZOO, Mich - Prostaglandins, the so called “miracle drugs” of this decade, hold con siderable potential for estrus synchronization in mares, beef and dairy cattle. Upjohn recently in troduced Prostin F 2 alpha for timing estrus in mares. And, according to resear chers present at a Prostaglandins in Agriculture Conference held near here earlier this year by The Upjohn Company, clinical trials with prostaglandins indicate they may be an effective tool for estrus synchronization in cattle as well. “But because of the amount of research work required in getting approval for a new drug use, in troduction of PGF2a for cattle synchronization is still some time away,” states Upjohn researcher Dr. James Lauderdale. “In any event, we’re very en thusiastic about the potential of prostaglandins for assisting livestock producers in their breeding programs. ’ ’ Prostaglandins are potent substances believed to play a key role in cellular metabolism and regulation of many bodily functions. They have attracted world wide interest during recent years because of the widespread effects different prostaglandins have on various body processes in both humans and animals. Michigan State University researcher Dr. Harold Hafs pointed out that initial research shows PGF2a can be effective in cattle as well as horses, and that with proper treatments, artifical insemination may be possible in many herds where estrus detection is not feasible.

Timing of estrus is similarly important to the beef cow owner who wants to utilize the superior genetics available through artificial insemination.

Jesus rebukes the Pharisees Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided agamst himself, how shall then his kingdom stand ? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out ’ Therefore they shall be your judges But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you St Matthew 12 25-28 without observing them for heat.
