11. Slogans in Animal Reproduction
• No Production with out Reproduction
• Bull is half the herd
• Calf a year (from a cow to remain profitable)
• Nutrition is a necessity whereas
reproduction is a luxury

12. Improvement in
Reproductive Rate is a
major goal in food animal
production because a 3%
increase would result in:
• 1 million more beef
calves /year
• 3.7 million more gallons
of milk/year
Global population crises
means that:
• In the time it takes you
to read this sentence, 24
people will be added to
the earth’s population
• Within an hour, the no
will reach 12, 000
• By day’s end it will be
288,000

13. The global challenge is to:
•Decrease the rate of human population
growth
•Increase the reproduction efficiency in
food producing animals
•Educate the public about the importance
of managing reproductive function in all
species
