Summary. The use of synchronization of estrus in cattle breeding is constrained by low fertility during frontal insemination (40 – 50%). A reserve for increasing the fertility of cows is the inclusion of silicon dioxide in the synchronization scheme. The experiment was conducted on cows of the Red Steppe breed. Cows from two groups (10 heads) had synchronized estrus using Oestrophan. Animals were injected with a solution of UFP of silicon dioxide in the experimental group, simultaneously with the second injection of Oestrophan. All cows were inseminated frontally. In the experimental group, fertility was 70.0%, in the control group – 60.0%. In the experimental group, the level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) during the induced sexual cycle increased by 10.3%, in the control – by 6.06%. The values of the luteinizing hormone (LH) level in animals of both groups before insemination were at the same level.

Key words: cattle, reproduction, synchronization of sexual hunting, silicon dioxide, frontal insemination, fertilization.
