Simple Summary The emergence of nanotechnology paves the way for innovating countless
applications in the agricultural and livestock production sector. In the field of reproductive …

Simple Summary The accurate and timely detection of oestrus is a central element of good
dairy herd management as it ultimately determines the level of milk production and is core to …

Ovulation to the first GnRH injection of Ovsynch-type protocols is lower in cows with high
progesterone (P4) concentrations compared with cows with low P4 concentrations …

Our objective was to compare the economic and reproductive performance of programs
combining timed artificial insemination (TAI) and different levels of AI after estrus detection …

The objective was to determine if the 5-d Co-Synch+ CIDR (controlled internal drug
releasing insert) protocol can be used in dairy heifers for a synchronized timed artificial …

Aim OvSynch is a hormonal protocol for synchronization of estrus and use of artificial
insemination (AI) at an optimal time without adverse effects on the ovaries or uterus. This …

This paper examines the costs and benefits of selecting for polled dairy heifers versus
traditional dehorning practices. Stochastic budgets were developed to analyze the expected …

The economic efficiency of dairy farms is the main goal of farmers. The objective of this work
was to use routinely available information at the dairy farm level to develop an index of …

We have identified a Holstein sire named Tarantino who had been approved for artificial
insemination that is based on normal semen characteristics (ie, morphology …

Context Advances in automated oestrus detection have made this an attractive technology to
help reduce manual oestrus detection labour on dairy farms. Aims A decision-support tool …
