Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine 1) the incidence of abnormal postpartum ovarian function in a large dairy herd in North Central Florida and 2) the effectiveness of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) in treating this condition. The study was conducted from April 1988 to June 1989.
