A survey was conducted to study the incidence of infertility in crossbred cows and distribution of repeat breeding crossbred animals in Niali and Kantapara block of Cuttack district, Odisha, India which revealed that, the incidence of reproductive problems were 45.18 per cent in cross bred cows and 25.47 per cent in heifers. Out of the total reproductive disorders, 36.89, 51.94 and 11.17 per cent of cases were recorded as postpartum anoestrus, repeat breeding and miscellaneous disorders, respectively in crossbred cows. In crossbred heifers the incidence of anestrus, repeat breeding, delayed maturity and miscellaneous disorders were recorded to be 38.21, 45.53, 7.32 and 8.94 per cent respectively. Incidence of infertility was higher in summer months (45.29%) than that in rainy (25.23%) or winter (29.48%) season. Incidence of repeat breeding in cows included in the study recorded to be highest in second calvers (40.19%) followed by first (21.50%) and third calvers (13.08%). Incidence of repeat breeding was higher in cows with average daily milk yield of 10-12 litres and above. The cows with 6-8 litres of average daily milk yield recorded to be the lowest (9.35%). Incidence rate for repeat breeding in animals was recorded to be highest (43.56%) in cows with a body condition score of 1-2. The overall distribution of repeat breeding in animals was found to be 30 and 70 per cent with sub active and functional ovaries. However cows with non-functional ovary did not reveal any repeat breeding problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
