New technologies for the solution of this problem must be more effective than visual observation and aids currently used to detect estrus. This paper mainly concentrates on what is estrus, need for accurate detection of estrus, signs of estrus, the brief view of papers, patents and products available on different electronic aids for estrus detection.Keywords: Heat detection aids, Estrus period, Signs of estrus
