Objective: to evaluate the impact of the application of progesterone on day 16 post-insemination, on conception rate and days open. Methodology: 70 Holstein cows in their second calving were evaluated in two groups of 35 animals each. After the first insemination, progesterone was applied to one group 16 days after insemination (T1), while the other group did not receive hormonal treatment and served as a control (T0). Data were analyzed by the Chi-square and t-Student test. Results: No significant association (p>0.05) was found between pregnancy and progesterone application at 16 days post-insemination. In addition, no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed in days open. Conclusion: The application of progesterone at day 16 post-insemination had no impact on reproductive efficiency in the dairy herd evaluated.Downloads
