    A study was conducted to determine reproductive response of primiparous beef heifers to an ovulation induction regimen during restricted dietary energy intake. Thirty-seven Barzona x Hereford heifers, maintained under drylot conditions, were utilized. Heifers were restricted in TDN on a pen basis to approximately 50% of N.R.C. recommendations for the first 90 days postpartum, then received 120% for 80 days thereafter. All animals received control injections (C) or 30 mg progesterone on day 15 postpartum followed in 48 hours by 2 mg estradiol-17beta (PE). Treated heifers not ovulating at first treatment and/or not cycling, were re-treated at 60 day postpartum, with non-cycling C heifers receiving control injections. Intact fertile bulls were maintained with the heifers from day 1 to 170 days postpartum, with visual observations for signs of estrus and breeding activity conducted twice daily during this period. At first treatment, seven of 18 heifers ovulated, one conceived and four continued to cycle. At second treatment, three of 13 conceived and seven returned to a synchronized estrus 15 to 21 days later. Although intervals to first estrous behavior and estrus favored PE heifers (P< .05), by 90 and 170 days postpartum no advantage in interval to conception or number conceiving was observed.
