Identification of Loci and Pathways Associated with Heifer Conception Rate in U.S. Holsteins [PDF]
Heifer conception rate (HCR) is defined as the percentage of inseminated heifers that become pregnant at each service. The genome-wide association analyses in this study focused on identifying the loci associated with Holstein heifer (n = 2013 ...

An investigation of the time period within which frozen-thawed semen delivers a high conception rate in lactating dairy cows [PDF]
We determined the length of time within which frozen-thawed semen delivered a high conception rate in present-day lactating dairy cows. The cows utilized were a total 100 milking Holstein-Friesian cows kept in tie-stall style farms.

Studies on factors influencing conception rate in rural cattle
The data of 14,937 farmers spread over 29 tehsils in 15 districts of six Indian states revealed mean conception rate as 55.96±0.31 %. State wise conception rate recorded in Bihar was 51.08±0.73%; Jharkhand; 62.03±0.63%; Maharashtra, 56.64±0.74%; Odisha,

Whole-genome scan reveals significant non-additive effects for sire conception rate in Holstein cattle. [PDF]
Service sire has a considerable impact on reproductive success in dairy cattle. Most gene mapping studies for bull fertility have focused on additive effects, while non-additive effects have been largely ignored. The main goal of this study was to assess
