e-Compendium Reproductive diagnostic techniques for Bovine infertility: Deals with basic reproductive techniques like clinical sample collection, molecular techniques and ultrasonography

Fertility of dairy cattle is the gateway of production and backbone of rural economy. Our country stands first in the milk production globally, but the bovine population behind this production scenario is also huge. Ever rising infertility problems and inadequate management systems seem to be the major hurdles in the production status of the animals. If these obstacles could be resolved, we can attain a mammoth stature in milk production, a real “White Revolution”. Inspite of tireless efforts, achieving an optimal fertility of dairy cattle still remains a dream process. Precise diagnosis is the first major step in deciding the appropriate remedial measure for infertile conditions. This Compendium deals with basic techniques of clinical sample collection, molecular techniques and reproductive ultrasonography in the diagnosis of bovine infertility in both the sexes. Further practical demonstrations on field level cow side tests to diagnose uterine status and reproductive ultrasonography will aid in direct practical application in the field. Thus, the Compendium is designed to cater the needs of academicians, researchers, field veterinarians and students.
