🐣These mismatches can shift #flocksex ratios, limit pairing success and reduce overall #breeding output. With bird-species conservation depending on precise sex identification, DNA-based sexing provides a reliable foundation, which is why studies like this are so important.

🔍 This new Aussie study examined how often a bird’s physical appearance doesn’t match its #geneticsex. Researchers determined #chromosomal sex using DNA tests in #wildbirdspecies and found sex-reversal rates between 0.5% and 6%.

🐑Reliable AI support more #sustainable #breedingpractices, reducing the number of animals needed for mating and improving herd welfare. Understanding how #paternal traits influence #conceptionrates helps producers make decisions that benefit animals and long-term productivity.

📚While most research focuses on the ewe, this study highlights that the ram’s contribution is just as important. A single ram can inseminate hundreds of #ewes over his lifetime, so improving #semenquality has a far-reaching impact.

🐏Ram fertility was shown to be heritable, meaning breeders can make genetic improvements in semen quality over time.

🔬Reproductive efficiency underpins productivity and animal welfare in livestock systems.

🌏Understanding how these molecular systems govern fertility strengthens our understanding of germline cell development. As environmental pressures influence #reproductivehealth, research like this helps reveal the systems that support healthy populations across species.

🐁Using targeted knockout mouse models, researchers showed that loss of IPO5 results in #earlyembryonic death and when IPO5 was removed specifically from the germ cells, males developed severe #infertility due to failed germ (sperm) cell formation.

🌏 This study highlights how #reproductivescience is reducing the loss of reproductive potential from #endangeredanimals. Ongoing research like this helps protect #reproductivehealth across species, safeguarding the #ecosystems and wildlife that sustains life on our planet.

🥚As proof of concept, #oocytes were successfully collected from six euthanised koalas within two hours post-mortem, showing potential for the development of #genomebanks to support the species’ recovery.

💡A new Aussie study examined #ovarian tissue from #koala cadavers to assess whether viable oocytes could be recovered post-mortem.

🔬Researchers found that around 95% of koala ovaries still showed active follicle development (folliculogenesis).

🌍These findings reveal that climate-driven heat extremes now have a greater impact on tropical birds than direct human pressures such as habitat loss, reversing the trend seen in subtropical regions.

🌡️ A global study led by Australian scientists analysed 70 years of bird population data worldwide to reveal how extreme weather shapes their survival.

🔥Extreme heat is the biggest threat. Frequent and intense heatwaves have reduced tropical bird abundance by 25–38% since 1950.

🌾For producers, this means a big step forward: the ability to identify and retain replacement heifers that calve earlier and stay productive long making fertility a central driver of herd reproductive efficiency.

🐮 This trait is based on how soon a heifer becomes pregnant after her first mating.

📊Researchers tested how fertility changed animal rankings and found that top-ranked heifers under the new index were those that combined strong growth with earlier and more reliable conception.

🤖 This marks a pivotal step toward responsibly embedding deep learning into IVF practice - where evidence-based AI tools complement human expertise to improve efficiency, and ultimately, outcomes for those pursuing #fertility treatment.
