About this veterinary CPD webinar
Fertility is the cornerstone of profitable livestock production. Vets typically focus on female fertility, but that is just half of the story of reproduction. The speakers will review the bull’s impact on a herd’s fertility and risk factors relating to semen quality and discuss the relative importance of each of the semen quality assessment parameters. During the presentation, innovation in pen-side semen quality assessment and original decision-making concepts will be addressed. The webinar has been conceived as an interactive platform enabling the audience to contribute their experience, ask questions and participate in the debate at the core of today’s humanity challenges: how to leverage technology to increase sustainable production.
