🐄 Mastitis is often discussed as a dairy production issue, but what role does it play in #reproductiveefficiency and #herd sustainability?

💡 While current inbreeding levels appear too low to impact reproduction, higher inbreeding in smaller or artificially bred populations could have more serious consequences.

🐎 Horses produce just one #foal after an eleven-month pregnancy, making #reproductiveefficiency critical. Concerns about inbreeding (which can increase harmful #geneticvariants) led researchers to examine whether it impacts foaling rates in #AustralianThoroughbred #mares.
