Postpartum Reproductive Performance Of Kedah Kelantan Cattle And Its Crossbreds

The calving interval of 286 Kedah-Kelantan (KK) cattle and KK crossbreds were obtained from the individual cow breeding records from a crossbreeding project between 1988 to 1990 at Livestock Research Centre MARDI, Kluang, Johore. Postpartum ovarian activity and fertility in 80 suckled cows were...

The present results showed that the KK and KK crossbred cows had satisfactory reproductive performance. The mean calving intervals of KK, Brahman-KK (BK), Rereford-KK (RK) and Friesian-KK (FK) were 12.6+0.1, 12.4+0. 14, 11.9+0 . 11 and 12.3+0. 14 months, respectively.
