To our knowledge, this is the first article that compares both accuracy and computational efficiency of methods relying on volume decomposition and those based on the divergence theorem.
To date, the efficiency of methods to increase the tolerance of the cord to displacement and the influence of hypotension on this tolerance is yet to be assessed.
In that manner, markers can be satisfactorily used for detection of different phases of infection, as acute and chronic phases, pre-patent and post-patent phases and after chemotherapy, improving the efficiency of methods.
Unfortunately, most studies designed to evaluate the optimal time of AI generally contained two technical deficiencies: inadequate numbers of cows for valid statistical comparisons and inaccurate knowledge of the onset of oestrus because of low frequency of visual observations and/or efficiency of methods used for the detection of oestrus.
One way to optimize energy consumption in agriculture is to determine the efficiency of methods and techniques used (Bockari-Gevao et al. [2005]).
The evaluation criteria (20) included, among others, measures for the assessment of the management process, the level of achievement of objectives, cost-effectiveness, the efficiency of methods, the engagement of participants, the impact of the results on public and private beneficiaries and stakeholders, and the level of quality and novelty of the outcomes.
