Management factors affecting reproductive performance in cows

Here we examine the effects of various management factors on the reproduction of cattle and provide useful tools to mitigate these effects and hence meet a specific reproduction target and/or solve a specific reproduction problem. Oestrus detection The most important reason for poor reproductive efficiency is the difficulty of detecting oestrus, especially in large herds. This is due to variations between cows and because there is greater oestrous behaviour at night. The following are useful
