Open publisher page 146 citations

Abstract

Three areas present our best opportunity to improve reproductive performance in beef cattle. These are: (1) Increase the proportion of cows bred the first 21 days of the breeding season; (2) Increase the conception rate at first service; and (3) Decrease losses at or near birth. Additional information which can only be obtained from experiments designed solely to obtain physiological data pertaining to beef cattle reproduction is needed.
