Abstract
Progesterone is a potent drug for synchronization of the estrus and ovulation cycles in bovine. At present, the
estrus cycle of bovine is controlled by the insertion of progesteroneembedded silicone bands. The disadvantage
of nondegradable polymer inserts is to require for disposal of these bands after their use The study currently
focuses on preparation of biodegradable progesteroneincorporated nanofiber for estrus synchronization. Three different
concentrations (i.2, 1.9, and 2.5 g) of progesterone-impregnated nanofibers were fabricated using electrospinning. The
spun membrane were characterized by scanning electron microscopy.
