Antonio J Landaeta-Hernández et al. Anim Reprod Sci. 2023 Jan.

Abstract

This review examines aspects of the phenomenon of biostimulation in swine, goats, sheep, cattle and deer, to improve the collective knowledge and exploitation of its relevant mechanisms and effects in animal production. The long-term goal is to implement biostimulation strategies that benefit livestock reproduction and production while being both cost-effective and socially acceptable.

Keywords: Behavior; Biostimulation; Female-effect; Male-effect.
