Vaccination with Brucella abortus strain RB51 vaccine can be performed on the first day of E2/P4-based TAI protocol with no negative effects on pregnancy rate and calving rate of Nelore healthy cows. Therefore, the vaccine can be an important strategy to support farms aiming to eradicate brucellosis.

Detection of estrus and timing of insemination indicated
by an automated behavior monitoring system (SenseHubTM Dairy), mineral supplementation, and hormonal intervention, improved reproductive performance of repeat breeder cows.
Comparative Analysis of Automated Behavior Monitoring Systems versus Visual Observation: Impact on Reproductive Parameters and Farm Profitability in Dairy Heifers
Dogus Ozkan1, İldeniz Dünder2, İhsan Ballan2
The implementation of Automated Behavior Monitoring Systems has demonstrated the potential to yield reproductive performance outcomes that are comparable to those achieved through visual observation. Additionally, the study observed that cows monitored with the reproduction monitoring system experienced a shorter time to pregnancy. In addition to these reproductive benefits, the study also indicated that the implementation of monitoring systems had a positive impact on the profitability and efficiency of the entire herd.
