Abstract This study was conducted to observe Bali cows’ primipara reproductive performance between natural mating and artificial insemination. Fifty cows owned by 44 farmers in Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, were used as the research sample at first mating; 19 subjected (NM) 31 insemination (AI). Farmer’s profile data, rearing system, (the age of puberty, mating, gestation...

Characteristics of estrus, mating, and pregnancy were studied in captive fennec foxes. The monestrous cycles had mean intervals of 9.9 (!1.2) months, whether or not pups survived to weaning. Proestrus, judged by vulval swelling, began 6.5 (!0.7) days before estrus and was not accompanied by sanguineous discharge. Percentage cornified epithelial cells in vaginal smears increased at the time of e...

BACKGROUND Buffaloes are silent heat animals and lacunae in their estrus detection results a substantial economic loss in developing countries. Many advanced tools to aid heat detection have been developed but are neither affordable nor easily interpretable by marginal farmers. AIM The present investigation was made to develop a cost-effective estrus detection model by combining several known...

This study aimed to determine relationship between characters before double dose artificial insemination using frozen semen sexing. research was conducted Senggreng Village, Sumber Pucung District, Malang...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive performance of the Arab mares in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). METHODS Managers of 26 studfarms containing 1014 Arab mares at five districts were asked to complete a questionnaire on the reproductive efficiency of their mares. RESULTS The mean age at first mating was 3.06 ± 0.5 years. Mares were mated equally in winter an...

The effects of exogenous melatonin on reproductive performance of 737 Polypay and Polypay-cross ewes were evaluated during a late March and April breeding period. Different concentrations (2 or 10 mg) routes of administration (fed vs implanted) and durations of administration (20 or 40 d before breeding) were studied. Estrus was synchronized in all ewes using 60 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate (...

OBJECTIVE In context of the study farmers using an automated activity monitoring (AAM) system called Heatime were surveyed on estrus detection practices. The aim of the study was to gain an overview of the usual estrus detection methods and especially to learn about the practical aspects of that system. MATERIAL AND METHODS Items addressing farm and animal environment, estrus detection before...

BACKGROUND: Inbreeding is one of the major problems of small size herds of red deer in refuge wildlife parks. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to use estrus synchronization technique in red deer (Cervus elaphus) based on natural mating to control the dominancy and social rank of stags and inbreeding. METHODS: In this study, hinds (n=6) were captured and caged at breeding season (ear...
