| dc.description.abstract | Reproductive inefficiency is a major area of economic loss to most dairymen. Recent estimates for the United States indicate that this problem alone accounts for annual losses of 540 million dollars. Studies during the past several years have clearly illustrated the need for a complete, computerized reproductive management record system The reproductive management profile (RMP) has been developed to provide the dairyman with a current and. complete reproductive record on each cow and heifer in the herd. The forms for recording and reporting reproductive events have been condensed to a simple pocket format. Computer analysis is designed to coincide with routine herd examinations by a veterinarian. The output includes all routine reproductive events such as calving, estrus and breeding dates. In addition, two projected heat dates, days open, reproductive disorders, other disorders, uterine conditions and ovary conditions are listed. Monthly and annual summaries help make this a complete record system. | en |
