This study was conducted at fedio dairy station belongs to the General organization for cattle in Lattakia.. A total of 2534 production records of 1771 Holstein cattle were used to study factors affecting the Days open (DO) during 1990 to 2013, and to study the effects of calving year, calving season, parity and interactions between studied factors on this trait. Data were analyzed by the Least Square Means, and Duncan test was used to compare means by SAS 9 program. The overall mean for Days Open (DO) was 150.23 ± 1.44 days. and affected significantly (P< .0..1) by calving year, calving season, parity and interaction (calving year × calving season), (calving year × calving season) and (P<.0.5 ) by interaction (calving year × calving season × parity) on the Days Open, but there was no significant effect for interaction (calving year × parity). Results suggested that better management, and improving the feeding status may reduce Days Open to typical period (60 - 90 days), reduce interval calving, to get calf every year, and increase reproductive and economic efficiency of dairy cattle at fedio station.

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.
This study was conducted at Kharabo Dairy Station belongs to the Faculty of agriculture, University of Damascus. 553 records for 206 Holstein Friesian cattle were used to study factors affecting the calving interval during 1982 to 2007. Data were exposed eccording to GLM, and analysis of variance was used to determine the calving interval (CI) and the effect of calving year, calving season, parity and interactions on the calving interval, and Duncan test was used to compare means by SPSS program. The overall mean for (CI) was 459.12±4.90 days. and affected significantly (0.001>P) by calving year, but there was no significant effect for calving season, parity and interactions between studied factors on the calving interval. These results suggested that better management, and applaying more efficient administration practices as well as to improving the feeding status may reduce calving interval to typical period of 365 days and increase reproductive and economic efficiency of dairy cattle at Kharabo station.
This study was conducted at Kharabo dairy station belongs to the Faculty of Agriculture، University of Damascus. 692 productive records for 269 Holstein Friesian cattle were used to study the effects of calving year, age at first calving، calving season and parity on the adjusted 305-day milk yield. Data were exposed to GLM, analysis of variance was applied to determine the effect of studied factors and differences between averages were compared according to Duncan test using SPPS 17. The overall mean for (305-d milk) was 6222.6 ± 62.01 kg. and affected significantly (P < 0.001) by calving year and parity and (P<0.05) by age at first calving. No significant effect for season was observed. Results suggested that better management practices and improving the feeding status might help increasing the 305-d milk and making the status more economic efficient in the dairy cattle at Kharabo Farm.
Records of ٤٤٥ Friesian cows were analysed for calving interval and its components; days open, lactation length and length of dry period. The model included parity, calving year and calving season. The overall means were ٤٢٥,٧٧ ± ١,٨٩, ١٤١,٣ ± ١,٣ ٧, ٣٥٣,٩ ± ٠,٨٨ and ٧٣,٠٢ ± ٠,٧٧ days for calving interval, days open, lactation length and length of the dry period respectively. These estimates are high by tropical and subtopical standards, but they remain lower than the reproductive performance of Friesian cattle in temperate countries.
This study has been conducted on Syrian coastal area in 2013 season, aimed to determines affecting factors on honey supply at that level Apiary and measure the price supply elasticity . A field questioner was applied to obtain elementary data of a random sample consisted of (304) of Apiary. The honey production has been estimated to (10.3) kg/hive and (603.8) kg/ apiary in the study sample, (89.6%) of which were marketed, while the other part has been selfconsumed at the apiary level. The marketing quantities of honey distributed between five major marketing canals, the most important one was the direct selling to the consumers, contributed to (77.1%) of total sample’ marketed quantities, followed by the selling to wholesalers with contribution ratio estimated to (18.7%), while the selling to retailer types (Honey specialized shops, Pharmacies, Grocers) have absorbed the remained small honey quantities. The supply price elasticity was estimated to (2.318), referring relatively to a high elasticity supply. The more diversified marketing channels of honey at apiaries level has positively affected supply quantities, especially when selling to wholesalers. Moreover, the existence of selling and storing unites in apiaries in addition to the market information system would also affect positively on supply quantities. The positively effect of apiary size reflects the weak position of small size apiaries in supply controlling. The more important result, was the negative impact of expertize and specialization and education of producers on honey supplied quantities at apiaries level, Remunerating Precarious conditions of current honey market, pressing on producers belonging to the qualified category and indicates high risks of shrinking their leverage in honey sub-sector.
