Use of Technologies in Reproductive Management: Economics of Automated Activity Monitoring Systems for Detection of Estrus
نویسنده
چکیده
Take Home Messages-Automated activity monitoring systems (AAM) can be incorporated as a tool to replace visual observation of estrus.-General considerations before an AAM system acquisition include: current estrus detection (ED) efficiency, system cost, visual observations cost, and system life expectancy. Purchasing a system with a life expectancy of at least 5 years would be critical under all conditions.-Improvement in ED efficiency necessary to breakeven or improve profitability largely depends on the: (1) baseline proportion of cows inseminated in estrus with the current ED program; (2) life expectancy of the AAM system and its cost: and (3) cost of the program for visual observation of estrus.-AAM systems may be a feasible and economically beneficial solution for dairy farms with limitations to conduct an efficient ED program or dairy farms that prefer to allocate personnel to other activities.

متن کاملReproductive enhancement in buffalo: looking at urinary pheromones and hormones
The success of conception in buffalo is greatly dependent on precise estrus detection and time of artificial insemination (AI). Various visual, behavioral, biochemical and gyneco-clinical parameters have been tracked closely and a cost-effective combinatorial model has been developed to detect estrus in buffaloes. Pheromones play pivotal roles in reproduction and behavior of mammals. Urine, an ...
متن کاملp-cresol and oleic acid as reliable biomarkers of estrus: evidence from synchronized Murrah buffaloes
Successful reproductive management in buffaloes depends on effective estrus detection. Urinary pheromones identified from natural estrous cycle have been reported to decipher estrus phase. However, its presence has not been analyzed in the urine after synchronization. Thus, our present investigation was to investigate the influence of synchronized estrus urine in bulls and to examine the presen...
