Sounds like you might need a bit less advice cattle man!

What will you do if someone says 10-11 days ? You will then have a choice of 7-12 days!

I would go with the advice from the manufacturer to be honest.

There are so many brands that the vet or the internet forums might be thinking of another model.

Hi OP, why was the coil in her? Is it a problem cow that needed vet treatment or do you just want to short cycle her so that you can ai her without watching her?

If it's a problem cow I'd leave it in a longer time and give her receptol at ai, she may not go in calf this time, but hopefully will cycle ok in 3 weeks. I am open to correction on this!!

Is it a PRID?

we normally inject with estrumate on day 10 and remove coil on day 11 0r 12 she should be bulling in day 13 hopefully

vet said no need for any injection. does that work on the same principle as the pmsg when sponging sheep and led to multiple births.

we us pmsg and sponges with sheep every year and often have few triplets by using the pmsg. dont need cow with triplets
