EAZI-BREED™ CIDR® Cattle Device
CIDR™ Cattle Devices contain the natural hormone progesterone. Intravaginally placed CIDRs release progesterone at a controlled rate into the blood stream.
Key Features:
Breeding programs using the CIDR™ Cattle Device can:
- Tighten oestrus synchronization so animals come into oestrus in a narrow time period
- Provide an opportunity to induce a fertile oestrus in non-cycling cow
- Hasten the onset of cyclicity in maiden heifers
- Treat cystic ovarian disease
- Prepare donor recipient cattle for embryo transfer programs.
Using CIDR™ Cattle Devices can result in:
- More pregnancies
- More compact calving season
- More even line of calves
- Less involuntary culling of non-pregnant cows
- Better use of time and labour during breeding, pregnancy testing and calving
- Tighter calving intervals, with more calves born during a cow’s lifetime
- Easier and more accurate heat detection, or the option of no heat detection
- Enhanced use of artificial insemination (AI) or specialist programs such as ET, with
- Greater genetic gain and higher value calves
- Ability to schedule heifers to calve before older cows, so heifers can get extra attention
- Easier customised matings, including the use of calving-ease sires, because AI is more feasible
- Confirmed breeding and calving dates, not always possible with natural service
- A more profitable herd
