The article looks at two essential tools in dairy farming: Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR) and Cow Conception Rate (CCR). These help farmers decide how to breed cows for better fertility and milk production. In the past, dairy farming focused too much on milk, which hurt fertility. DPR helps understand long-term fertility, while CCR shows how likely a cow is to get pregnant now. New technology like activity trackers and AI can help make dairy farms more productive and sustainable. But be careful with DPR; it’s not perfect. DPR and CCR can help farmers make smart decisions to improve their farms.
