Cow Infertility, Cattle Infertility
Reproductive problems caused by cow infertility are costing the UK dairy cattle industry approximately £200 million ayear. While the majority of dairy producers aim for a calving interval of 365 days, inreality that average figure stands at more than 390 days and no improvements have been made for several decades. To make matters worse, there is evidence that while milk yields and genetic merit have improved, the reverse can be said of cow fertility. Scientists have tried to put their finger on defining the problem but so far, without obvious success. They now believe a more balanced appraisal is needed to take into account incidence, endochrine problems, physiological problems and management factors. Greenlands Nutrition can identify areas most likely to help farmers improve herd fertility and overall profits. Areas covered include difficult calvings, problems immediately post calving, the service interval and early pregnancy. Ovulation control, AI management and techniques, ET and IVF were also taken into account. |
