Norethandrolone treatment over a period equivalent to the luteal phase resulted in 90% of females being in oestrus during a 48 h period. AI without detection of oestrus, however, resulted in only 34% of females calving. 9-10 days' treatment with norethandrolone, plus 5 mg oestradiol valerate injected on treatment day 1, resulted in 68% of females being in oestrus within 5 days of the end of treatment, but only 58% within a 48 h period.
