When reproductive efficiency reduces there is need to take help of veterinarian, artificial insemination (AI) technician, feed company representative and other resource people to troubleshoot the causes and determine solutions to the problem. The Company is testing animals in Infertility Treatment Camp, if any suffering from anestrous, proper treatment is been given to cure the animal.
Management causes of infertility
- Surveys and infertility camps in field, by veterinarians provide information about fertility status. This also helps to plan future reproduction and production programs in livestock industry.
- As reproduction is directly related with production, better fertility will reduce the production loss and improve the economy of dairy industry.
- There is need of training farmers for estrous detection. AI is an important biotechnology available at door step of farmers but well-trained technician/veterinarian is essential to get optimum results. Proper timing of AI can enhance the conception rate.
- For the maintenance of high breeding efficiency, it is primarily essential to maintain good level of general health, and thus prevent the onset of debilitating diseases.
- Balanced feeding including greens and mineral mixture is essential for normal reproductive performance. Sufficient greens, mineral supplementation and correction of negative energy balance improve fertility. Additional feed allowance and mineral supplementation during last trimester of pregnancy and peak of lactation i.e. steaming up is advised to get a healthy calf and consistent yield.
