“…Habib (2011) found 1.4 ± 0.1 for the same herds. The result is similar to the reports (1.2 to 1.4 ± 0.1) reviewed by Azizunnesa et al (2010); Das et al (2010); Habib et al (2003) for the same genotype in different herds. Higher range (1.5 4 ± 0.1 to 1.6 ± 0.6) was reported by Hossain et al (2006); Bag et al (2010) in the same genotype in different herds.…”

The fertility of Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) of Bangladesh was studied using data from 122 animals from four herds. The least squares means of female fertility traits were 1.4 ± 0.1, 72.6 ± 3.6% and 85.0 ± 2.0%, respectively, for number of services per pregnancy, first service pregnancy rate and overall pregnancy rate. The least squares mean of non-return rate to first service of bull was 58.7 ± 5.1%. The factor having a significant effect on female fertility was herd, while parity had no effect. Herd and parity of dam, season of service and sire had no effect on non-return rate to first service of bull. The heritability of fertility traits were very low: values were 0.07 ± 0.04, 0.03 ± 0.04, 0.05 ± 0.04 and 0, respectively, for number of services per pregnancy, first service pregnancy rate, overall pregnancy rate and non-return rate to first service of bull. The corresponding repeatability values were 0.18 ± 0.08, 0.08 ± 0.07, 0.13 ± 0.08 and -0.07 ± 0.02, respectively. This study reveals the fertility to be good. However, better reproductive management may enhance the overall herd fertility of RCC. (Bangl. vet.

“…The average age at first service of RCC was 2.7±1.7 years (Table 6) which was very much close with the findings of Azizunnesa et al (2010) as 32.2 months, Bag et al (20100) as 32.42 months and Ashraf (1998) as 2.6 years for indigenous cattle and was lower than the findings Ali (1994) as 3.5 years and Kamal (2010) as 1216±121.6 days.…”

“…Khan et al (2000) also reported the closer lower values of daily milk yield both in farm (2.0±0.63) and in rural condition (1.8±0.9). The average lactation length of RCC cow was 243.1±25.2 days (Table 4) which was higher than the reports of Bag et al (2010) as 210.12±7.59 days, Azizunnesa et al (2010) as 238.8 days and Khan et al (2000) reported as 214.7 ± 21.8 days. Mufti et al (2009) reported the closer values of lactation length of RCC at farm condition (230.6±23.9 days) whereas Habib et al (2003) and also reported a higher lactation length of RCC at farm condition (261.1±14 days) and 259.6±6.2 days respectively.…”

A survey was conducted to estimate the productive and reproductive performances of RCC in Rawjan, Chandanaish, Potia, Satkania and Anowara upazillas of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The farmers of the study areas holding Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) were divided into large (>1.50 acre), medium (>1.0-1.5 acre), marginal (>0.5-1.0 acre) and landless (>0-0.5 acre) categories. Existing feeding and rearing practices, productive and reproductive performances of RCC were investigated. It was found that, most of the RCCs (82%) were reared mainly by the marginal farmers. In between May to September, there was a severe shortage of feeds and fodders for RCC. However, despite severe shortage, the farmers were not interested to cultivate fodder. The degree of shortage for feed round the year had significant variation (p<0.01) among the farmers of all categories. Similar to feed shortage, the tendency of growing non-legume crops had marked variation (P<0.01) among the farmers of all categories. Birth weight, weaning weight, daily milk yield, lactation length, calving interval, age at first service, age at first calving and gestation length were 14.5 kg, 64.6 kg, 2.1 liters, 216 days, 14 months, 2.7 years, 42 months and 279.9 days respectively. It could therefore be inferred that, productivity of RCC may be increased by improving feeding systems in the study areas.http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v41i1.11973

“…The result of this study agrees with the range reported by the Azizunnesa et al (2010) for RCC (14.0 to 14.84 months, i.e 420 to 445 days). Calving interval may vary due to the effect of genetic, nutritional, environmental and managemental condition.…”

“…Calving interval, age at puberty, service per conception, gestation length and birth weight of fetus are most important parameters to measure the farm economy. A farm with 13-15 months calving interval, 24 months for age at puberty, 1.33 services per conception and 5 kg milk per day per cow could be economically profitable (Azizunnesa, 2010). Milk availability per capita is approximately 125.59 ml per day per head in Bangladesh, against the FAO recommendation of 250 ml per day per head as the standard (DLS, 2015-16).…”

A total of 90 lactating cows from twelve dairy farms were used to conduct this study in order to evaluate the productive and reproductive performance of crossbred and local cows at farmer's level in Manikgong district. All cows were divided into three groups, according to their genetic composition as Local, Local x Friesian and Local x Friesian x Friesian cows. The results showed late sexual maturity (37.41±0.03 months), calving interval (481.86±0.33 days), shortest lactation period (198.46±2.36 days) and lowest average milk production (2.25±0.04 L/day) in local cows. On the contrary, longest lactation period (266.43±1.18 days) and highest average milk production (7.45±0.11 L/day) were observed in LFF cows, whereas early sexual maturity (30.58±0.02 months) was found in Local x Friesian cows. From the above perspective it could be concluded that LFF crossbred cows may be suitable for profitable dairy farming in Bangladesh but herd life and life time productivity is one of the most influential factor for profitable dairy farming. However, further study with larger sample sizes covering more different management systems would be required to describe a better inference in this consideration.
