Estrous synchronization is an agricultural technique, used especially in the dairy and beef cattle industries, that coordinates the reproductive cycles of a group of female livestock so that many animals come into heat within the same narrow window. This coordination lets producers breed the whole group by artificial insemination on a planned schedule rather than tracking each animal cycle individually, which makes large scale artificial breeding programs practical in commercial dairy and beef operations.
