This document discusses protocols for synchronizing estrus in cattle using various hormones. The main protocols described are: 1. Using a CIDR vaginal insert for 7 days along with a prostaglandin injection on day 6 to synchronize estrus in cows and induce estrous cycles in anestrous cows. 2. Ovsynch, Cosynch, and other protocols that involve GnRH and prostaglandin injections over 8-10 days to synchronize ovulation for timed artificial insemination. 3. For heifers, feeding MGA for 14 days to suppress estrus, then a prostaglandin injection 17 days after removing MGA to induce estrus in 2-5 days for breeding.
