Prostaglandin (Lutalyse)xs
a drug that has recently been
approved by the Food and
Drug Administration for use
in beef cattle and dairy
heifers.
Through the use of this
drug, estrus and subsequent
release of the egg from the
ovary (ovulation) can be
controlled or synchronized.
In the normally cycling
heifer a corpus luteum
develops on the ovary after
the egg has been ovulated.
Heifers will not express
estrus or ovulate as long as
they have an active CL pre
sent on the ovary.
The CL remains active un
til approximately day 18 of
the 21-day cycle.
If prostaglandin is injected
between day 5 and 18 of the
cycle it will cause degenera
tion of the CL.
On the average, animals
will come into heat about
three days after the injec
tion.

How to use prostaglandin
in estrus synchronization
K LONG MFG.N.C. INC.
HOME OFFICE TARBORO. N C
Since all animals do not
have an active CL on the day
of injection, a second injec
tion 11 days following the
first injection is required to
synchronize all cycling
animals. Such a synchroniz
ed group of heifers can be
artifically inseminated at a
predetermined tune or as
heifers express heat
following treatment.
Research has indicated
that higher conception rates
are achieved m animals
which express heat following
prostaglandin treatment
than those which fail to
exhibit heat.
This synchronization pro
gram requires good manage
ment before it can be used
successfully.
Prostaglandin treatment
is not a substitute for good
management. Heifers must
be cycling before syn
chronization will work. This
means heifers must be in
good condition and on a good
level of nutrition.
Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, February 16,1M6-D23
It is advisable to check all
heifers by rectal palpation to
determine if mdeed they are
cycling.
Adequate facilities should
exist to insure safe and effi
cient handling and insemina
tion of the heifers.
If many heifers are to be
inseminated at one time, ad
ditional qualified techni
cians should be used. High
quality semen and good
semen handling techniques
are required.
Prostaglandin must be ad
ministered by a
veterinarian. The drug is not
approved for use in lactating
dairy cows and if it is in
jected into pregnant animals
it could induce abortion.

Sugar duty reduced
to minimum level
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
President Carter has
reduced the ynport duty on
raw sugar by 2.1875 cents per
pound-98 degree basis raw
sugar, the standard basis for
sugar trading-to the
statutory minimum of 0.625
cents per pound effective
last Friday.
Duties on other sugars,
syrups and molasses are at
comparable levels after
adjusting for quality.
According to Howard
Hjort, director of economics,
policy analysis and budget
for the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, domestic spot
raw sugar prices have been
in excess of 19 cents per
pound since January 16.
World sugar stocks are
being reduced this year for

Estrus synchronization
can be a profitable aid to
good herd managers.
Through controlled
breeding, heifers can be

There is a reduction in the
time for heat detection.
Finally, heifers can be
bred to calve routinely at 22
to 26 months of age.
To avoid disappointment

the first time in seven years.
The outlook for the rest of
1980 and 1961 is for con
tinuing strong world sugar
prices, and for strong
domestic prices, Hjort said.
Hjort said the domestic
spot sugar price on Jan. 31
was 23.01 cents per pound.
“If the full amount of the
reduction in duty were
passed on to consumers, the
U.S. domestic price would be
20.8 cents, well above the
U.S. domestic market price
objective of 15.8 cents per
pound raw value,” he said.
_ This reduction implies a
major savings for con
sumers of more than 2 cents
per pound, raw value and
more than $4OO million on an
annual basis, according to
Hjort.
