Background Genotypic information produced from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
arrays has routinely been used to identify genomic regions associated with complex traits in …

Infertility or subfertility is a critical barrier to sustainable cattle production, including in heifers.
The development of heifers that do not produce a calf within an optimum window of time is a …

Background Genetic progress for fertility and reproduction traits in dairy cattle has been
limited due to the low heritability of most indicator traits. Moreover, most of the quantitative …

Heifer conception rate (HCR) is defined as the percentage of inseminated heifers that
become pregnant at each service. The genome-wide association analyses in this study …

Background Cattle production is dependent upon fertility because it results in producing
offspring to offset production costs. A number of semen attributes are believed to affect …

In an economic context, reproductive characteristics are fundamental for sustainable
production, particularly for monotocous livestock like cattle. An inter-calving interval is …

Based on the clinical stage (eg, vaginal discharge) and bacterial species, several forms of
uterine diseases (UD) exist and can be classified as different traits [ie, different stages of …

The main goal was to apply machine learning (ML) methods on integrated multi-
transcriptomic data, to identify endometrial genes capable of predicting uterine receptivity …

Simple Summary Reproductive performance has direct economic implications on the beef
cattle industry. The majority of Zebu breeds (eg, Nellore; Bos taurus indicus) have poor …

Fertility and reproductive performance are key drivers of dairy farm profitability. Hence,
reproduction traits have been included in a large majority of worldwide dairy cattle selection …
