Abstract estrus synchronization can play an important role for managing production system, allowing the density of For evaluating different methods of long term estrous mating and kidding and production of meat and milk synchronization followed by fixed time artificial during specific times of the year for strategic marketing insemination and to select the most efficient method, and other purposes (Baldassarre and Karatzas, 2004, during the breeding season 160 Persian downy does Zhao et al., 2010). In small ruminants, hormonal estrus were equally allocated to groups (n = 20/group). Estrus synchronization is achieved either by reducing the was synchronized using controlled internal drug release length of the luteal phase of the estrous cycle with devices alone (CIDR) or with equine chorionic prostaglandin F2α or by extending the cycle artificially gonadotropin (CIDR-eCG), intravaginal sponge with exogenous progesterone or more potent impregnated with 45 mg fluorgestone acetate alone progestagens (Hashemi et al., 2006, Abecia et al., (Sponge) or with eCG (Sponge-eCG), subcutaneous 2012). Progestogen administration is common and has auricular implant of 2 mg norgestomet alone (Implant) been used with or without accompanying treatments or with eCG (Implant-eCG) or two intramuscular such as gonadatropins or prostaglandin analogs.
