Our expanding knowledge of ovarian function during the bovine oestrous cycle has given us new approaches for the precise synchronization and control of ovulation. Recent protocols, designed to control both luteal and follicular function, permit fprogrammed breeding with high pregnancy rates, and the initiation of superstimulatory treatments at a self-appointed time, and provide opportunities to do FTAI in donors and fixed-time embryo transfer in recipients. This review deals with development in oestrus synchronization programmes over years based on the understanding of follicular dynamics.
