Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reproductive performance is a major parameter determining the economic efficiency of a livestock company. However, fertilization is affected by several seasonal, environmental, and animal factors. Technological tools have been involved in the prognosis of subfertility in animals to support the good reproductive management of farms. New diagnostic laboratory tests and protocols, imaging, infrared thermography, the improvement and establishment of special software, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, antibiotic alternatives, sensors to measure the physiological and environmental/climate variables of animals, new semen extenders and insemination techniques, fertility biomarkers, and other modern technological applications serve to improve reproductive performance. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish information on technological applications concentrating on, but not limited to, the improvement in reproductive efficiency, fertilizing capacity, and the prognosis of fertility. We invite you to share your recent findings through this Special Issue.
