The meetings, which were held in five locations in northern Spain between 4 and 7 March, were attended by Santiago Pérez Wallace, global technical manager of the company Syntex, which specialises in bovine hormone products.
Madrid, 18 March 2024.
From 4 to 7 March, Vetia Animal Health, a subsidiary of the Zendal Group, organised a series of technical seminars on reproductive management in dairy cattle aimed at veterinarians specialising in reproduction.
The seminars were held in Hoznayo (Cantabria), Villagallegos (León), Soto del Barco (Asturias), Lugo and Santiago de Compostela (A Coruña) and were attended by Santiago Pérez Wallace, a technician from the Argentinean company Syntex, which specialises in hormone products for cattle that Vetia Animal Health markets in our country.
In each of these meetings, attendees were able to enjoy the vast knowledge of Pérez Wallace in his presentation on ‘Global experience in the reproductive management of dairy cattle: What have we learned?
The reproductive specialist discussed the particularities of the cow’s reproductive physiology and its importance in establishing synchronisation strategies. ‘Ovulation and heat synchronisation protocols are still widely used as a strategy to improve reproductive performance. Any insemination protocol has to produce follicular exchange, lower progesterone and induce synchronised ovulations,’ the speaker emphasised.
Based on scientific evidence, Pérez Wallace highlighted the benefits of the use of intravaginal devices with progesterone in dairy cows, which in many cases increase reproductive efficiency and facilitate management as they are simpler protocols. He also showed how the application of these devices in heifers increases pregnancy and simplifies management.
He then explained how devices with a lower progesterone concentration (DIB 1 g) achieve the same effect as those with a higher concentration, while being more comfortable, efficient and leaving less waste after use.
Finally, he discussed the use of equine serum gonadotropin (eCG) as an alternative to be evaluated in the protocols used in dairy cows, as it improves post-insemination luteal function and increases progesterone levels, which reduces embryo losses.
After the Syntex manager, Sergio Rodríguez Pedrouzo, from Vetia’s technical service for ruminants, participated in each day with a presentation on the complete range of products for bovine reproductive management (DIB, Fixplan, Prolusyn, Serigan, Sincroceliven, Hemogen and Utersol) that form part of the company’s portfolio.
Each event was closed with a discussion session in which the professionals in attendance were able to participate, and who expressed their satisfaction with these enriching seminars.
