Book Description
Animal Husbandry is making a significant contribution to the national economy and socio-economic development of most developing and under developed countries. Dairying contributes significantly to the sustainable development goals proposed by the United Nations. The average milk production per crossbred and indigenous cow is 7.6 litres/day and 3.8 litres/day respectively in India. Currently the average coverage of Artificial Insemination breedable population is 28% in India. Dairy cows should calve once every year to maximize the production to have economic efficiency. Infertility among dairy animals continues to be major bottleneck in achieving this target.
Similar situation prevails in other Asian and South African countries. Practicing veterinarian can directly make a change in the livestock sectors by improving fertility in bovines. This series of lectures covers six topics of infertility problems faced by the field vets. This agMOOCs has focused all the aspects of managing infertility and its current approaches to the specific topics. Hence the vets across Asia and Africa can get benefited and make the difference in their performance in achieving greater fertility in animals to improve the farmers’ economy.
