Dairy farming is vulnerable to global warming and climate change. Improving and
maintaining conception rates (CRs) have a paramount importance for the profitability of any …

Global warming represents a major stressful environmental condition that compromises the
reproductive efficiency of animals and humans via a rise of body temperature above its …

Heat stress negatively affects reproduction in cattle by disrupting the normal function of
ovarian granulosa cells (GCs), ultimately leading to oxidative damage and cell death via …

The objectives of this retrospective study were to investigate the relationship between
temperature–humidity index (THI) and conception rate (CR) of lactating dairy cows, to …

Simple Summary Reproductive efficiency is critical for profitability of dairy operations. The
first part of this manuscript discusses the key physiology of dairy cows and how to practically …

Stress can affect reproductive performance of lactating cows by targeting the ovarian pool of
follicles and their enclosed oocytes. Among the documented stressors are heat stress (ie …

The aim of the present study was to quantify the effect of heat stress (HS) from different
points in time on production, female fertility, and health traits. In this regard, on-farm …

Heat stress has consequences on both the physiology and reproductive performance of
cows, but the most dramatic effect for dairy producers is the decrease produced in fertility …

Climate change is a reality and global surface temperature is projected to rise substantially
in the next 80 years. Agriculture practices will have to adapt to climate change, and also help …

Heat stress causes a large decline in pregnancy success per insemination during warm
times of the year. Improvements in fertility are possible by exploiting knowledge about how …
