Reproductive management of cattle on the farm

Abstract

The challenges include a variety of reproductive factors, ranging from gamete fertility, mortality, post-natal care to infertility of the offspring. The specialty knowledge on the reproductive phenomena began with the process of domestication of the species, especially cattle. The importance of reproductive phenomena has resulted in the origin of processes and methods that are now used in everyday life. The low reproductive efficiency is a reflection of disturbances that affect negatively the physiological role of females and males cattle and also financially to the producer. Thus, to extend knowledge in this area were highlighted a few important factors that influence the reproductive management, such as the estrous cycle, fertilization in vitro, embryo transfer, artificial insemination, the influence of climate on breeding and management of property.
