A Review on Estrous Detection and Associated Challenges inFarm Animals

Abstract

Estrous detection is the process of identifying when a female animal is in estrus, which is the period of sexual receptivity during the estrous cycle. Accurate and timely detection of estrus is critical for reproductive management in farm animals. This article review focuses on the challenges associated with estrous detection in farm animals and aims to evaluate the various methods of estrous detection, assess the factors affecting estrous detection accuracy, and identify and improve the challenges associated with estrous detection. The review examines the different techniques and technologies available for estrous detection, including visual observation, automated monitoring systems, hormonal assays, and ultrasonography. It also assesses the factors that affect estrous detection accuracy, such as timing, labor requirements, and the use of technology. The review identifies the challenges associated with estrous detection, including
accuracy, timing, and labor requirements, and proposes potential solutions. Besides the Researchers and farmers seeking to optimize breeding programsand increase herd productivity can gain valuable insight from this review on estrous detection in farm animals.
