Did you know that the hormone progesterone (P4) isn’t just about maintaining pregnancy?

It influences the health of the oocyte before fertilization and helps create the optimal uterine environment after.

A recent article from Ceva Ruminants explains how higher P4 during follicle growth and early post-insemination can improve embryo development and recognition of pregnancy.

Understanding these mechanisms is key to improving reproductive efficiency in modern cattle breeding programs.

Parasitism in grazing herds is a real threat for sheep and resistance to eprinomectin (endectocide with 0 days milk withdrawal period) is a growing challenge for dairy sheep.

Episode 1 of the Antherin Project series “One flock, many eyes” shows how vets, farmers and researchers work together to understand what is happening in the field and develop practical solutions that protect animal welfare and milk production.

The episode walks through the project’s objectives and design, explains why eprinomectin performance is so important in dairy systems, highlights the farmer–veterinarian–researcher collaboration model, and illustrates the practical implications for grazing herds.

Colostrum replacers are key for newborn calves when maternal colostrum is unavailable or poses a disease risk.

Why it matters:
- Ensures passive immunity (IgG) to protect against neonatal diseases.
- Supplies energy, vitamins, and minerals to kickstart digestive and metabolic systems for healthy growth.
- Reduces illness and antibiotic use, supporting calf health beyond the first feeding.

While nothing beats high-quality maternal colostrum, replacers offer a safe and standardized alternative to give every calf a strong start.

"Did you know reproductive efficiency is one of the biggest challenges in water buffalo farming?

Reproductive management in water buffaloes relies on understanding their biology and applying fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) and hormonal protocols to enhance fertility throughout the year.

Resynchronization and advanced embryo technologies, such as o**m pick-up and in vitro embryo production, help increase pregnancy rates, accelerate genetic gain, and support sustainable milk and meat production.
