Abstract
Farmers are having more difficulty getting cows back in calf than they were 20 years ago so empty rates have increased. Compact calving is an issue with inductions becoming a standard management technique to help deal with this problem. But there are industry pressures to stop doing this and Anna Paton, a Lincoln postgraduate student, has been looking at how some farmers are achieving good reproductive results without inducing cows.
