    Summary · context
    Injectable prostaglandins, progesterone, estradiol, and a GnRH analog were given strategically to disrupt AHFs, boost normal estrus behavior, and promote ovulation.
    Summary · context
    Oxytocin was added to the treatment regimen when transient accumulations of intraluminal uterine fluid consistent with endometritis were observed ultrasonographically.
