Abstract

The MOIRA program has been developed over a period of two years from rules derived in a three year study of the tactical use of milk progesterone tests in dairy herds. McLeod, Foulkes, Williams and Weller (1991). The purpose of MOIRA is to raise the submission rate of cows for A.I. for the first and subsequent services, at the same time identifying cows not cycling normally.
