Better fertility management is potentially one of the most effective means of improving the efficiency and profitability of the average herd. This means that cows must calve at the right time of year, must be seen in heat, served efficiently and got in calf as quickly as possible. Many veterinary problems in cattle concern fertility and this book presents control schemes and preventive step-by-step techniques which are suitable for implementation jointly by the farmer and veterinary surgeon on an economic, routine basis. The use of modern microcomputer systems is discussed in the vital recording and analysis of data in improving fertility management. This book, written by leading experts on the subject, covers all the important aspects of fertility management for veterinary and agriculture students, advisers and farmers.
