Does synchronising follicular wave emergence improve outcomes in non‐superstimulated donor cattle undergoing ovum pick‐up (OPU) for in vitro embryo production?

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
In vitro embryo production (IVEP) is now a widely commercialised assisted reproductive technology used in cattle reproduction. The use of follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) to superstimulate donor cattle prior to ovum pick‐up (OPU) is generally regarded as an effective strategy to improve oocyte quality, developmental competence and increase embryo ...

Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.
