Advice on using progesterone devices in dairy cattle Jim McKinstry 12 March 2021 >More in
Ensuring cows get back in-calf promptly post-calving is key to optimising profitability in dairy cow enterprises.
Jim McKinstry, veterinary surgeon and a director of Farmgate Vets in Lancashire, gives advice on how progesterone devices can be used to manage cow fertility.
Common problems which delay service
Silent heats – when the cow does not show signs of bulling, or does not return to oestrus (bulling)
High-yielding cows – which have shorter/silent heats because they are putting most of their energy into milk production, and this is often at the expense of getting back in-calf

Rather than being disappointed, former government whistleblower Joanna Gualtieri says she resents Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s non-committal response as to why he won’t beef up protections for public servants brave enough to flag what they believe to be wrongdoing.
“It’s even more dangerous than keeping his mouth shut,” she said of Trudeau’s response to HuffPost Canada’s queries last week about the much-criticized whistleblower law.
“I resent tremendously, because it just gives the illusion of a commitment. But that’s all it is, an illusion because nothing changes,” she said.
