Unfertilized duck eggs not removed prior to incubation will deteriorate quickly, posing a risk of contaminating the normally fertilized duck eggs. Thus, detecting the fertilization status of breeding duck eggs as early as possible is a meaningful and...
Accurate and ex-ante prediction of cows' likelihood of conception (LC) based on milk composition information could improve reproduction management on dairy farms. Milk composition is already routinely measured by mid-infrared (MIR) spectra, which are...
