Synopsis

The mission of this 8th edition book is not only to bring the latest scientific discoveries but also to help translating them into solutions applicable to the everyday work of a vet for the bene t of the veterinary profession and its clients, the animal owners. Two regulatory systems govern the reproductive process in mammals. The endocrine system and the nervous system each has a special role, and a subtle interplay between the two is essential for the cascade of events that results in the birth and successful rearing of healthy o spring. The first chapter will provide some basic theory about the way in which the reproductive processes function, using a brief glimpse of what happens in the cow to illustrate the relationships between the different parts of the process. More detailed information about the reproductive cycle in cattle and other animals can be found in the chapters on the various species. Short sections at the end of this chapter discuss the endocrine process in the male, and some aspects of seasonality.
