Luteal tissue was prepared for microscopy and remaining tissue was frozen using liquid N2. Day 10 corpora lutea weighed significantly more than day 3 corpora lutea (4.7 ± 0.46 vs. 2.8 ± 0.65 g, respectively). However, in all other measures examined in the course of this study there were no significant differences. Therefore, data from both day 3 and day 10 were pooled to provide additional statistical power and narrow the confidence intervals associated with progesterone secreting bovine corpora lutea. All animal procedures were completed under an IACUC-approved protocol and performed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Animal Sciences Department.
Lutalyse
Lutalyse is a veterinary product manufactured by Zoetis. It is a synthetic prostaglandin analog that assists in the regulation of the estrous cycle in livestock animals. The core function of Lutalyse is to synchronize and control the timing of estrus and ovulation in cattle, swine, and horses.

Bovine Corpora Lutea: Synchronized and Pooled

Sow Farrowing Crate Management Protocol
Management in the farrowing facility was according to farm protocols. Sows that had not farrowed by d 116 of gestation were induced to farrow on the following d using Lutalyse (1 injection of 1 mL given at 0600 h; Zoetis; Parsippany, NJ); the identity of each sow induced and date of induction were recorded. The farrowing process was monitored continuously by the investigators; if the interval between the births of piglets exceeded 60 min, the investigator checked the birth canal for obstructions, and assisted the farrowing process as needed.

Synchronizing Ovulation in Dairy Cows with Autoclaved or Chemically Disinfected Progesterone Implants
After treatments on d -2, a subset of 115 cows from farm A received a heat detection device (Estrotect, IVP Brasil, São Paulo, Brazil), which remained until d 0, the time of AI. Cows that had greater than half of the patch coating removed were classified as exhibiting standing estrus.

Immune Response of Heifers to LPS
Heifers were stratified by BW and assigned to vehicle-treated control (CON, n = 7) or LPS (n = 7) treatment groups. LPS (Escherichia coli O55:B5; Sigma–Aldrich, Inc., Milwaukee, WI) was prepared by dissolving 1 mg in 5 mL of sterile saline, then subcutaneously injected at a rate of 2.0 μg/kg of BW. Each animal received approximately 4 mL of solution on days 2, 5, and 8. Control animals were injected with sterile saline. Baseline rectal temperatures were taken 1 d before the start of the experiment to preclude any potential febrile response prior to administering treatment.
Heifers were synchronized to estrus using the Select Synch plus controlled internal drug release (
Rectal temperatures were taken just prior to treatment (30-Second Digital Thermometer, Target Corporation, Minneapolis, MN) and at 2, 3, 4, 8, and 10 h after injection.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
