In addition to sharing records analysis, Lopes will discuss the Herd Repro Award winners’ demographics and reproductive performance benchmarks. Furthermore, webinar participants will learn about new trends observed for reproductive management, the effect of health on reproductive performance and culling strategies, and options for extra heifers after dairies achieve excellent reproductive performance.
