Abstract
Sustainability - the new hype of the 21st century has brought discomfort for the government and society. Sustainable agriculture is essential to face our most concerning challenges: climate change, food security, and the environmental footprint, all of which add to consumers' opinions and choices. Improvements in reproductive indexes can enhance animal production and efficiency, guaranteeing profit and sustainability. Estrus detection, artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer (ET), estrus synchronization (ES), and multiple ovulations are some strategies used to improve animal reproduction. This review highlights how reproductive strategies and genetic selection can contribute to sustainable ruminant production. Improved reproductive indices can reduce the number of nonproductive cows in the herd, reducing methane emissions and land use for production while preserving natural resources.
期刊介绍：
Animal Reproduction (AR) publishes original scientific papers and invited literature reviews, in the form of Basic Research, Biotechnology, Applied Research and Review Articles, with the goal of contributing to a better understanding of phenomena related to animal reproduction.
The scope of the journal applies to students, researchers and practitioners in the fields of veterinary, biology and animal science, also being of interest to practitioners of human medicine. Animal Reproduction Journal is the official organ of the Brazilian College of Animal Reproduction in Brazil.
