Abstract excerpt
Genetic improvement of fertility in dairy cattle remains a significant challenge due to the complex interplay between reproductive and environmental factors resulting in low heritability traits. Recent advancements in sensor technologies have allowed for the assessment of estrus-related traits as indicators of fertility. Three sensor-derived estrus traits previously associated with fertility outcomes include...
