Summary: It is known that cows that express estrus submitted to TAI protocols, have better pregnancy rates (Borges et al. 2011). So the goal was to test alternative to visual estrus observation, evaluating the effect of estrus expression with the assistance of tail-chalk on pregnancy rates and the pre-ovulatory follicle diameter in beef cows submitted to TAI protocols with use of two ovulation inducers: estradiol benzoate (EB) and estradiol cypionate (ECP).
