Analysis of estrus patterns according to first estrus, first ovulation, and first normal estrus cycle

Group	Postparturm (days)	No. of estrus cycles	Estrus detection rate (%)			Ovulation rate (%)	CL formation rate (%)

			Patch	Signs of estrus	Simultaneous detection
First estrus	19.1 ± 6.5^a	1.0 ± 0^a	90^a	10^a	0^a	40^a	40^a
First ovulation	27.1 ± 4.5^b	1.7 ± 0.6^b	80^a	20^ab	0^a	100^b	90^b
First normal estrus cycle	39.2 ± 6.4^c	2.8 ± 0.6^c	80^a	60^b	40^b	100^b	100^b

The value on postpartum days and number of estrus cycles are indicated as the mean ± standard deviation. ^a,b,cValues with different superscripts within a column (p < 0.05). Estrus detection rate as a percentage of total estrus observed by different detection methods. Patch = estrus detection using color change in the estrus detection patch. Signs of estrus = estrus detection based on mounting, standing, and mucus discharge. Simultaneous detection = estrus detected simultaneously by both the patch and signs of estrus.
