Preliminary Results of Synchronization of Estrus and Ovulation in Jennies

There is little information on the synchronization of ovulation in jennies. In the present experiment, the intravaginal device containing progesterone (DONE ®, Fig 1) , the PGF2a (Cloprostenol, 0.2 mg in 2 ml, ), and slow-relasing GnRH analogue (DOVA®) were designed and used for inducing ovulation synchronization of jennies. From September to November in 2017, a total of 80 jennies in body condition scores of 5-6 (Vet. Record, 1996, 138(10):229-33.) w ere included in this study. The jennies were kept in the National Black Donkey Breeding Center, China.
