DIB-Synch Program

The nine day DIB-Synch program for cows includes an DIB-V intravaginal device, and injections of gonadorelin (Gonasyn), prostaglandin (Cyclase) and again gonadorelin (Gonasyn). Cows are inseminated to detected heat after the DIB-V has been withdrawn or 16-24 hours after the final gonadarelin injection.

Addition of eCG to the DIB-Synch program can improve conception rates, which can significantly improve profitability in some circumstances.

Please ask your vet or contact AgriHealth for more details about dairy cow reproductive programs this season.

NZ veterinary medicine A10319, registered in NZ pursuant to the ACVM Act 1997.

Efficacy - the DIB-V progesterone insert provided equivalent pregnancy rates when compared with the most commonly used progesterone insert in NZ, in a recent large scale clinical trial in 2300 non cycling cows across 15 dairy herds in NZ (refer VetScript article below). This finding was consistent with extensive use of DIB-V as the market leading progesterone insert in South American cattle during the past decade.

Cow comfort - NZ farmers reported cows treated with DIB-V during Spring 2010 appeared more comfortable, strained less, and defecated less during milking compared with other inserts.
