Abstract
Abstract Despite many years of research the reproductive efficiency of dairy cattle is still low. Oestrus detection and high rates of embryo mortality remain the major problems. Computerisation has led to the development of herd health schemes and knowledge based systems for decision support in dairy farming. However, it is clear that the successful application of these is often limited by the availability of reliable diagnostic procedures. New developments for example in understanding of embryo-maternal interactions offer good prospects for future improvement. Similarly better knowledge of reproductive pathophysiology is enabling better targeting of hormonal treatments for improved fertility. The elucidation of the interaction of specific nutritional and disease syndromes with the reproductive system will also lead to improved reproductive management.
