The experiment was carried out at District Artificial Insemination (AI) Center at Khulna to evaluate the conception rate of frozen semen and locally produced liquid semen. Frozen semen from five different genotypes (Local, Sahiwal×Friesian, (Local×Friesian)2×Friesian, (Local×Friesian)×(Local×Frisian×Friesian), Local×Friesian) of bulls was taken which was served by Central Cattle Breeding Statio...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of age of the ovulatory follicle on fertility in beef heifers. Ovulation was synchronized with the 5 d CO-Synch + controlled intravaginal drug release (CIDR) program in heifers in Montana (MT; n = 162, Hereford and Angus Crossbred) and Ohio (OH; n = 170, Angus Crossbred). All heifers received estradiol benzoate (EB; 1 mg/500 kg BW, [i.m.])...

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of category (heifers, primiparous or multiparous cows) on pregnancy rates in a large scale resynchronization ovulation program. Nelore heifers (n = 903), primiparous lactating cows (n = 338) and multiparous lactating cows (n = 1,223) were synchronized using a conventional protocol of estradiol/P4-based fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI)....

The present cattle population of Bangladesh is 24.17 million (DLS, 2009). More than 80 percent of this cattle population is indigenous and rests of them are purebreds and crossbreds of different exotic breeds (Friesian, Jersey and Shahiwal) cattle, which is contributing a major share of livestock sub-sector and playing multi-functional roles (supply of milk, meat, skin, manure, carting etc.) in...

A national data set of artificial inseminations in US Holsteins was used to obtain genetic evaluations for conception rate (CR). The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility and resulting accuracy from using all available phenotypic, pedigree, and genomic information. Evaluations were performed by regular BLUP or by BLUP with the traditional pedigree and genomic relationships ...

During the early postpartum period, multiple bacterial species invade the uterus of cows. Phagocytosis by polymorphonuclear cells is a primary mechanism involved in the elimination of bacteria and improvement of conception rate. Therefore, a relationship could exist between endometrial cytology and conception rate of postpartum dairy cows. In this study 50 postpartum healthy Holstein Frisian da...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of laparoscopic surgery on the natural conception rate in infertile women with endometriosis during the first year after the operation. METHODS We retrospectively studied 43 infertile women with surgically proven endometriosis. The natural conception rate was investigated for the 12 months after the laparoscopy. RESULTS The overall pregnancy rate was 4...

Small farmers dominate dairy farming in Indonesia, and the average productivity is low. The contribution of domestic production only reaches about 23% total national milk consumption needs as a source human nutrition. This study was aimed to identify relationship between cow's parity age services per conception (S/C), rate (CR), gestation length (GL) Holstein Friesian (HF) cross cows. Data this...
