4 It bears repeating from previous editions that cattle are an integral part of animal agriculture in all parts of the world. They provide the human population with products such as milk, meat, clothing, fertilizer and fuel, as well as providing draft power in many countries. Demand for some products, such as fat in meat and in milk, has declined in some markets, and in some countries (e.g., in the European Union) milk production is limited by quotas. Nevertheless, the efficient production of animal protein continues to be of vital importance. An efficient production system must maximize the output of meat and milk per unit of feed input and per animal and, in cattle production, as with other livestock systems, a high level of reproductive performance is absolutely crucial to efficient production. Efficient reproduction results in optimum calving intervals, which in turn result in optimum production of milk and calves to be reared for beef or replacements. Furthermore, cows that fail to reproduce are culled, limiting the choice of animals available to produce replacements and thus limiting genetic progress. As awareness of the ethical issues surrounding animal production increases, this wastage becomes even more unacceptable. Welfare concerns are also increasing the pressure to avoid animal ill-health and, specifically, fertility problems. This should be regarded as a positive trend since, as will become evident in the book, improved health and welfare go hand in hand with better reproductive performance. In the UK, the BSE epidemic and the subsequent outbreak of foot-andmouth disease have resulted in large numbers of cattle being culled. Those that remain need to reproduce even more efficiently to provide a good choice of replacement stock. Unfortunately, however, there is evidence that dairy cattle reproductive performance in the UK and other countries where intensive dairying is practised is declining. Conception rates are now considerably lower than they were when our first edition appeared in 1986 and oestrus detection always a major limiting factor to efficient cattle reproduction has become considerably less effective. In order to manage cattle reproduction and the specific problems that arise, it is important to understand the underlying physiology of the reproductive process. Thus, the third edition, as did the first two, aims to provide an integrated overview of the subject of bovine reproduction, describing the normal function of the reproductive system together with its modification by pharmacological, technological and management techniques in relation to the central theme of reproductive efficiency. The book continues to provide a general
5 vi background to the field of cattle reproduction for agricultural and animal science students and as an introductory text to veterinary students and postgraduate students embarking on a career in reproductive research. Furthermore, we hope that it will be used by working veterinarians and by progressive farmers to update them on new research findings and developments in the management of cattle breeding. In this new edition we have attempted to integrate the various sections covering anatomy and physiology and those on management and animal health into a more logical sequence. We have incorporated recent findings on the physiology of the oestrous cycle and its control, as well as new techniques for monitoring and manipulating reproduction, such as oestrus synchronization, pregnancy diagnosis and embryo transfer. As before, we do not intend to provide a manual of instruction for such techniques but rather to describe and explain the principles involved. The importance of adapting management procedures to take account of changing cows and conditions is emphasized. Reproductive efficiency, with an emphasis on the farmer s aims and requirements, is discussed in the first chapter. Most examples will be drawn from the cattle industry in the UK, with which the authors are most familiar, but the general principles can be extrapolated widely. The following chapters describe the anatomy and physiology of the male and female reproductive systems, with a detailed description of sperm production, ovarian cycles, fertilization and pregnancy. Subsequent chapters describe and discuss management procedures and techniques to maximize reproductive performance, including the vitally important detection of oestrus as well as oestrus control, artificial insemination and pregnancy diagnosis. This is followed by a description of the common infertility problems, after which a chapter on reproductive management puts these themes into a practical context. The book concludes with chapters on embryo transfer and related technologies, selection of animals for breeding and a final summary of the most important features and future trends in the control of reproduction in cattle. We would like to record our thanks to all those people who have provided information and permission to reproduce data and illustrations, and these are acknowledged individually in the text. We are particularly grateful to Professors Hilary Dobson, Claire Wathes and Bob Webb, Drs Emma Bleach, Will Christie, Dick Esslemont, Patrick Lonergan, Tom McEvoy and Toby Mottram, and to staff of Semex, including Dr Tom Kroetsch, to staff of Cogent, including Messrs Marco Winters and Innes Drummond, and to staff of the British Society of Animal Science, including Mr Mike Steele.
