The Effects of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone and Milk Production on Pregnancy Rates in Repeat Breeder Dairy Cows

One hundred sixteen third- and fourth-service lactating dairy cows from five cooperating herds were used to compare the pregnancy rate of cows given Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone five minutes following insemination with pregnancy rate of control cows. In addition, milk production level, age at service and days in milk at time of service were used to compare pregnancy rates. Milk production level was expressed as relative value (percent of herd mature equivalent production). There were no differences between treated and untreated control cows in pregnancy rate. In addition, there were no differences between service number (3 or 4), relative value group, age at service, days in milk at time of service, treatment by service, treatment by relative value, service by relative value, age squared and days in milk squared in pregnancy rate.
