This research was conducted I during 2009-2010 at Dier Alhajar station, General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research to determine the length of calving interval (CI) and the effect of sire, calving year, calving season, parity and age of cow and their interactions in Shami Cattle. It was concluded that CI can be reduced by better management and providing good and suitable feeding conditions.

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 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 conducted at Deir Al-Hajar Station during the season 2010-2011 to describe the lactation curve of Shami cattle and determine factors affecting its shape compenents. 1120 records of 356 Shami cows collected between 1997 – 2010 were used. Data were subjected to general linear model, and the analysis of variance used to determine the effect of factors. Duncan test was used to compare the means using SAS system (1996) and Incomplete gamma functions were used to estimate the parameters of lactation curve (a, b and on the basis of daily yield of milk. Results indicated that the average values of the gamma parameters were 2.14 ± 0.01 kg for a (beginning of milking ), 0.61 ± 0.02 kg for b (increasing milk production up to peak) and - 0.23± 0.01 kg for c (decreasing milk production from peak to dry). The effect of calving year was significant (p<0.01) on a, and (p<0.05) on b and (p<0.001) on c. The effect of age at calving and sex of calf was significant (p<0.01) on a but non significant on b and c. Season of calving, parity, and interaction between age and parity was not significant on all parameters. It was concluded that improving the productive performance of Shami cattle, requires applying a long term genetic improvement program to select the best herd.
The present study was prepared to assess the level of potassium in the vitreous humor fluid, to calculate the post mortem interval (PMI) by finding the regression equation and to study the effects of environmental factors like temperature and humidity and age and sex on it.
The design of milking spaces, which are called Mahlab, is considered as the main factor for many experts in agricultural engineering and animal production. The main aim is to determine the optimum parlour milking with highest production and little stress, whereas the parlour milking is considered as the most important design factor in the barn because it is Influences getting the milk in cattle productivity farms. According to the importance of milk production, which effects on the local production and economy, this paper treats with the most effective factors in the design of parlour milking in cattle farms, in order to be suitable for dairy cattle production by considering its numbers, its movement and its suitable space. So, this reflects its impacts on the level of production, in addition it shows the most important type of parlour milking in the world that reflects the advantages and disadvantages that determine the type and size of required parlour milking and its location and relationship with the cattle barn.
