“…How much extension services would recommend the use of AI among small producers is a debatable issue that deserves further investigation. For example, there are several procedures to facilitate the milk let down of the cows, starting from the suckling of the calf and a prompt removal after milk flow, or allowing the calf to suckle one teat after milking or giving the feed to the calf from a pool of residual milk [17] [18]. What effect those any of these systems bear on the onset of ovarian activity??…”

The impact of technology adoption among farmers in developing countries has been an issue difficult to measure and interpret. Hence, research to improve production has been centered in technology that possible is not adequate for this region. The present review aims to utilize subjects such as Genetics, Reproduction, Nutrition, Management and Animal Health as examples of research endeavors illustrating the scarcely bond existing between research and adoption of technology. A final section is an attempt to illustrate the possible reasons why the transfer of technology is failing to be of any consequence at least under the conditions of developing countries.

“…Several options that have been studied, at nonetheless, in dual purpose cows the calf's full weaning at days or weeks of age (precocious or temporary weaning), suckling restriction to short periods during the day (restricted suckling or controlled lactation) and delayed suckling are alternatives and easily to implement by farmer (Galina et al 2001;Pérez-Hernández et al 2002b;Hernández et al 2006).…”

“…Several nursing systems have been used to overcome the suckling effects on reproductive performance (Randel 1981;Galina et al 2001;Krohn 2001). In the Spanish Pyrenees, the usual practice to shorten the calving interval is to restricted nursing for short periods once or twice a day in the morning and/or afternoon.…”

Á lvarez-Rodrı´guez, J., Palacio, J., Casasu´s, I. and Sanz, A. 2010. Does breed affect nursing and reproductive behaviour in beef cattle? Can. J. Anim. Sci. 90: 137Á143. This experiment was designed to assess the role of genetic differences in nursing behaviour and the resumption of post-partum ovarian cyclicity of beef cows with different types of calf management. Twenty-four multiparous winter-calving cows, 12 Parda de Montan˜a (PA) and 12 Pirenaica (PI), were randomly assigned to once-daily restricted nursing during 30 min (RESTR) or ad libitum nursing (ADLIB). Cow-calf behaviour was recorded at weeks 3, 8 and 13 of lactation. Results were compared within suckling system. Twice-weekly blood samples were drawn throughout lactation to analyse progesterone as an indicator of ovulation. Within each type of calf management, both breeds nursed their calves for a similar amount of time (23.0 and 57.2 min in PA vs. 25.9 and 59.0 min in PI, when nursing once daily or ad libitum, respectively; P0.10). Furthermore, ovarian cyclicity was initiated at a similar time after calving between breeds (70 vs. 73 d in PA and PI, respectively), although it was shorter in RESTR than in ADLIB (54 vs. 89 d; PB0.001).
