Designs to Reduce Seasonal Effects On Reproduction

"Seasonal infertility” should be replaced with “summer infertility” or “fall infertility.” Summer infertility identifies that reproductive problems are occurring during the summer months. This covers a spectrum of problems. Fall infertility identifies that problems are occurring during the autumn months. The severity of summer and fall infertility varies from farm-to-farm, region-to-region and year-to-year. What matters most, is maximizing fertility and breeding herd reproductive performance regardless of season or location.
