Oestrus synchronisation (UK) or estrus synchronization (US), is when female mammals go into "heat" at about same time. This is induced in cattle to be able to perform artificial insemination or embryo transfer at about the same time for the whole herd.

Oestrus, also known as estrus, is the period in the sexual cycle of female mammals when they are sexually receptive and able to conceive. It is characterized by hormonal changes that result in behavioral and physical signs indicating fertility. Oestrus cycles vary in duration and frequency among different species.
