Exploring Reproductive Effectiveness, Milk Delivery, and Associated Factors in Southeastern Dairy Female Cows
Abstract
The dairy industry will benefit from better management methods as a result of the findings, which will improve our knowledge of the dynamics of reproduction and production of milk. The purpose of this research is to determine an average reproduction and productive features in female Red Sindhi animals and determine whether or not these traits have an impact on the breed's milk supply. Data on productive and reproductive characteristics with 250 dairy cattle of the Sindhi breed were provided. The analysis of variance was followed by an examination of the relationships between the traits related to reproduction and those related to milk yield. The mean values for the following parameters are including, dry phase (DP), lactation period (LP), milk yield (MY), calving ages (CA), the total amount of milk yield (TMY), reproductive effectiveness (RE), ages of first calve (AFC) and calving intervals (CI). When the attributes AFC, CA, CI, RE, LP and calving ordered (CO) were divided into groups, there was no difference in MY between the groups, but there is a positive link between LP and CO. It can be determined by the dairy cows of the Red Sindhi breed had intermediate averages for MY, CI, RE and high averages for AFC.
