Lack of integration or synchronization or endocrine imbalances at any phase of the sequence may result in reproductive failure. A sound knowledge of reproductive functioning in terms of interplay of hypothalamic, gonadotropic and gonadal hormones, with synergistic and antagonistic influences from other hormones and factors involved in the regulation of various reproductive stages, accurate oestrus detection, timely pregnancy diagnosis and early detection of nonconceived stock can be...
