Good detection of estrus is critically important in dairy husbandry. Incorrect detection of
estrus is related to loss of profit due to extended calving intervals, milk loss, veterinary costs …

Contents Despite major efforts directed at improving the yield of blastocysts from immature
oocytes in vitro, the quality of such blastocysts continually lags behind that of blastocysts …

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate an accelerometer system (Heatime; SCR
Engineers Ltd., Netanya, Israel) to manage reproduction in lactating dairy cows. In …

Despite the widespread adoption of hormonal synchronization protocols that allow for timed
artificial insemination (AI), detection of estrus plays an important role in the reproductive …

The objective was to evaluate the effects of timing of insemination and type of semen in
cattle subjected to timed artificial insemination (TAI). In Experiment 1, 420 cyclic Jersey …

The aim of this study was to determine if estrous expression, as measured by an automated
activity monitor (AAM), affects timing and failure of ovulation of lactating Holstein dairy cows …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of method of presynchronization and
source of supplemental Se on uterine health and reproductive performance of lactating dairy …

Ovulation to the first GnRH (G1) treatment of the Ovsynch protocol improves synchronization
rate and pregnancies per AI (P/AI). Elevated progesterone (P4) concentrations at G1 …

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between observed estrous-related
behavior, activity clusters (AC; detected by automatic activity monitor), endocrine profiles …

The objectives of this observational study were to assess the ability of automated activity
monitoring (AAM) to detect estrus for first insemination, the accuracy of detection, and the …
