INFLUENCE OF NUTRITIONAL CONDITION SCORE AND PARITY ON FTAI EFFICIENCY

Given the increased global demand for food, beef production faces the challenge of optimising its reproductive efficiency. Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI) emerges as a key technique, allowing better reproductive management through oestrus synchronisation. This study aimed to investigate the impact of female parity and the number of services per conception on pregnancy rates in beef cattle undergoing FTAI. Results indicate no significant differences in pregnancy rates or body condition scores across parity groups, though nulliparous females required more insemination services per conception than primiparous and multiparous ones. It concludes that while parity does not directly affect pregnancy rates, it influences the number of services per conception.
