Impact of the Selection Criteria of Artificially Inseminated Cows on the Probability of Conception and the Occurrence of Embryonic Mortality in Senegal: Modeling Approach
Abstract:The objective of this study was to measure the relative influence of the animal's age, body condition score (BCS), glycemia at day of insemination (D 0 ) and the livestock management system on the probability of conception and occurrence of embryonic mortalities. In this study, 81 inseminated cows both of the Gobra Zebu breed and crossbred were sampled. Blood samples were collected the day of insemination (D 0 ) and twenty-one (D 21 ) and thirty-five (D 35 ) days after AI. The BCS, the age and the livestock ma… Show more
