Description

Various factors affect reproductive performance in tropical cattle. The time of year when the animal is born, the season when breeding programmes are established, the breed and parity of the animals selected, management decisions and the body condition of the females before breeding are the most common factors that determine the success of farmers in the tropical areas of the world. Examples of these components are reviewed and areas for future research suggested. (author). 29 refs, 3 figs, 2 tabs
