This study was carried out at Agropecuária Paraíso, Santa Teresa, ES - Brazil, with the objective to evaluate the effect of the injection of buserelin acetate (BA), an analogue of GnRH, on the fertility of heifers and lactating cows. Eighty two animals, 20 heifers and 62 cows, ½ Holstein/Zebu crossbred to Holstein P.O., were distributed in a completely random design experiment, with four treatments, as follows: T1 - control treatment (5 heifers and 16 cows), received 2.5 mL of physiological solution (SF), intramuscularly (i.m.), at the artificial insemination time (A.I.; d 0); T2 - (5 heifers and 15 cows), received 10 μg of BA (i.m.) at the artificial insemination time (d 0), T3 - (5 heifers and 16 cows), received 10 μg of BA (i.m.) 13 days after A.I. (d 0) and, T4 (=T2 + T3) (5 heifers and 15 cows), received 10 μg of AB (i.m.) on days 0 and 13 da AI. The injection of SF and BA were performed after blood collection. The animals were housed in free-stall with visual heat detection three times a day, each for 15 minutes. Heifers with body weight greater than 300 kg and cows considered able for reproduction, 45 days postpartum, were inseminated at the end of estrus by just one technician, with a semen pool from three differents sires, of proved fertility. Heifers were fed with grounded Pennisetum sp., hay grass, corn silage, orange peel and multiples mixtures and cows with total ration mixture (TMR) with variable quality according to the production. The serum urea concentration, total cholesterol and the plasma progesterone level (P4), and estimated the body condition score (ECC), days open (DPP), index of temperature and humidity (THI), minimum temperature (TMin) e maximum (TMax). The buserelin acetate (AB) did not affected the pregnancy rate of heifers or cows showing values of 100.00 and 37.52 (T1); 20.00 and 33.34 (T2); 100.00 and 31.25 (T3); and 40.00 and 40.00% (T4), respectively. In the heifers the injection of buserelin acetate at the IA time (T2) increased the cholesterol and decreased the P4 concentration when compared to the control heifers, and decreased the cholesterol and P4 concentration in the cows from T2, T3 and T4. The injection of buserelin to heifers and cows on the 13th (T3 and T4) reduced the urea concentration.
