The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the synchronized estrus induction in sexually mature gilts, after treatment with different hormonal treatments, given in the unknown phase of a spontaneous estrus cycle. Sexually mature gilts were used, with at least one spontaneous estrous cycle. A total of 90 gilts were treated with single i/m injection of 1,000 IU eCG (Folligon®), 40 gilts were treated with two separate i/m injection of 1 ml PGF2? (Dinolytic®), at an interval of 11 days, and 40 gilts were treated orally (within diet) with 20 mg of synthetic progestagen preparation Altrenogest (Regumate®), during 18 days. Estrus was detected twice daily, in the 10h to 12h intervals, by direct contact with the teaser boar. The best induction of synchronized estrus (in 90% of gilts), which appeared within the first 7 days (mean 5.3 days) after treatment, was found in gilts treated with progestagen preparations. In the three repetitions of treatment with eCG, within the first 7 days (mean 4.2 days) after the treatment, estrus was detected in 65%, 40% or 33% of the treated gilts. After treatment with luteolytic preparation PGF2? (Dynolitic®), estrus was detected in 40% of gilts, on average 5.5 days after treatment. The obtained results clearly show that the successful induction of synchronized estrus in sexually mature gilts can be done only by the method for prolongation of the luteal phase of the spontaneous estrous cycles, using progestagen preparations.
