Description:... Research on controlling or synchronizing the estrous cycle in domestic animals has been in progress since Hans Selye at McGill University in 1936 and William Phillips at the University of Rochester in 1937 demonstrated that injected progesterone inhibited ovulation in the rat. Subsequent experiments by other researchers demonstrated the successful control of estrous and ovulation in ewes, swine and cattle.
