Factors affecting number of services per conception of Holstein cattle in Syrian coast


Abstract in English

This study was conducted at Fedio Dairy Station using 2189 records for 790 Holstein cattle to study the effect of frozen–thawed bull semen, inseminator, calving year (CY), calving season (CS) and parity (P) on the number of services per conception (S/C). Data were obtained between the period 2003 and 2013 and evaluated according to GLM procedure (SAS 9). Analysis of variance was used to determine the effect of studied factors on S/C.
