The Oestrous Cycle of the Cow
This book helps the reader to interpret the reproductive status of the cow using an outstanding selection of photographs with an eminently practical focus. The carefully chosen images let the reader visualise what they are touching during an examination, and describe the more basic procedures, such as rectal palpation or artificial insemination. It also highlights the importance of using oestrus synchronisation protocols in routine reproductive practice.
