1 Fertility in Beef Cattle Tom Geary Reproductive Physiologist
2 Pregnancy Diagnosis Cow Fertility Breeding Season Vibrio Trich Stress Bull Fertility BVD Plant / Water Toxins Neospora EBA (Foothills) Nitrates IBR Lepto Mycotoxins Pine Needle Calving Season When?
3 Factors affecting Individual Pregnancy Cow Fertility Postpartum interval (PPI) Age Body Condition Score (BCS) Genetics Dystocia Nutrition Bull Fertility Stress Disease Toxins
4 Percentage of Calves Born Calving Distribution Management A B C D Day of Calving Season Ranch C Ranch B Ranch D Ranch A Shorter calving season improves ability to manage cattle in your environment & increase profitability of cowherd!
5 Nutrient Partitioning 1. Maintenance 2. Activity 3. Growth 4. Milk production 5. Body reserves (FAT) 6. Reproduction Proper nutrition is obligatory to reproductive success, but not focus of presentation.
6 Improve Cowherd Reproduction with Genetics Crossbreeding!!!
7 Crossbreeding Breed A Breed B Animal Breeding 101 Reproduction Production Carcass Additive genetic value Selection Non-additive genetic value Hybrid Vigor
8 Cumulative hybrid vigor effects on weight of calf weaned per cow exposed % Increase Combined Effects of: Reproduction Survival Maternal Ability 8.5 Age of Puberty Straightbred calves from straightbred cows X-bred calves from straightbred cows X-bred calves from x- bred cows Cundiff et al., 1974; Hereford, Angus, & Shorthorn
9 AI Heifers to Calving Ease Proven Sires At today s diesel prices, maybe I should consider AI.
10 Cost of Dystocia? Culled for Dystocia Reproductive Failure Heifers 25% Cows 58% Rogers et al., 2004
11 Reproductive Measures that Result in Pregnancy
12 Single most important measure of fertility for cow/calf producer? Annual BSE! Each bull is expected to contribute to the production Limitations: of 20 to 30 Fertility calves, measure so the fertility on that of given each day bull is at least 20x Only more about important 1/3 of the than Fertility a cow.
