The advent of remote livestock monitoring systems provides numerous possibilities for improving on-farm productivity,efficiency,and welfare.One potential application for these systems is for the detection of calving e...
The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the causes and the effects of stillbirth on the number of days open and cow herd survival in subsequent lactation of Holstein Friesian cows. A total of 1371 calvi...

Mass loss caused by glacier calving is one of the direct contributors to global sea level rise.Reliable calving laws are required for accurate modelling of ice sheet mass balance.Both continuous and discontinuous meth...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of the calving number with productive indicators in Nelore cows in a grazing system in the Bolivian tropics.Retrospective data,corresponding to the period b...
Body condition of suckler cows at the time of calving has an important effect on calving ease and mortality of calves.In the last eight weeks before calving the body condition should be reduced or at least not increas...

Accounting for about half of mass loss in Antarctic,glacier calving is an important ablation process for the ice sheet(Liu et al.,2015).Thanks to the revolutionized era of satellite remote sensing,the 21st century wit...
The excellent cooperation of Mr.Gianni Meloni,Stefano Picconi,Salvatore Pintus and Nino Lei as well as the staff of Foresta Burgos research farm and the laboratory staff of AGRIS is highly appreciated.
The study explored the relationship between the performance of calves and calving season in a Mediterranean rangeland-based beef livestock system.Twenty multiparous Sarda cows,grazing on a natural pasture,with two dis...
