ABSTRACT
Technology gives many oppurtunites for cattle farmers for easier and
effective herd management possibilities. New era provides many realistic applications using smart
applications for
farmers. Especially milking is very popular for engineering applications. Reproductive
technologies can be seen as frontier applications. Reproductive performances of the dairy farms can be defined
as number of calves for cows in a year. It means new material
for meat and milk production. Because new female calf means new cow for her
while male calf means new material for beef. If meat and milk production are to
be increased, cow productivity, i.e. the number of calves produced lifetime
must be improved and increased. Although varying among herds, annual average
herd incidences of reproductive disorders and reproductive performance were
similar to those reported. Managerial practices influenced incidences of
retained placenta and uterine infection, days open of cows not bred and of all
cows, services per conception and percentages of herd open more than 100 days
and culled for low production. Good heat detection programs can have a major
impact on overall herd reproductive performance. The best heat detection
programs start with careful timing, good observation and the effective use of
detection aids. Being able to distinguish and interpret cow behaviour and other
signs is critical, so are good record
keeping and training for the people responsible for heat detection. Generaly, farmers with the
best heat detection results use a combination of observation and heat detection
aids. Several options are available to aid heat detection and increase heat
detection rates. Although a rich variety of methods have been introduced for the detection of oestrus, a more accurate and
practical method is still required.
