The use of technology in agriculture has revolutionised farming practices globally over the last decade in efforts to improve productivity, efficiency and conservation. Livestock production and breeding programs have only just begun to develop and implement precision technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) leaving room for rapid growth and adoption in this sector. With an increasing global population exerting higher than ever pressure on our food systems, there is a critical need to embrace sophisticated technologies to enhance livestock breeding, ensuring better health, productivity, and sustainability. Additionally, conservation programs for exotic or endangered species will also benefit immensely from these advances, opening new pathways to increase genetic diversity and drive ecosystem preservation.
This Research Topic aims to explore the use of technological innovations in animal reproduction with a specific focus on livestock and wildlife. The objective is to provide livestock producers, veterinarians, conservationists and researchers with state-of-the-art tools and technologies that improve reproductive outcomes through improved evidence-based decision-making processes. Focusing on real-time monitoring and data driven techniques in reproduction, these advancements guarantee improvements in agricultural production and conservation success.
To gain further insight into the role these technological advancements play in animal reproduction, we welcome the submission of articles addressing the following topics:
• Breeding selection
• Control of reproduction
• Reproductive physiology
• Oestrus detection
• Pregnancy diagnosis and monitoring
• Parturition
• Assisted reproductive technologies
• ‘Omics studies linked to reproduction (e.g. genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, secretomic, metabolomic, etc.)
We accept submission of type A, B and C research papers with a focus on B and C type articles including, but not limited to, original research papers, reviews, general commentary, perspectives and case studies pertaining to the use of reproductive biotechnology and precision technologies in animal reproduction.
