Keywords:
Dairy cows, Mid-hill, Postpartum anestrus, Prevalence, Sub-humidAbstract
The study was conducted in Dharer Panchayat and other surrounding villages of Baijnath block (mid-hill sub-humid zone) of District Kangra through various infertility camps. Overall, 212 cows were screened via rectal examination and prevalence of post-partum anestrus was recorded. Prevalence of postpartum anestrus was 34.43 per cent, gestational anestrus/pregnancy was 32.07 per cent and silent estrus was 6.60 per cent. Main factors associated with postpartum anestrus in cows of Dharer Panchayat and other surrounding villages of Baijnath block of Kangra District were poor BCS (less than 2.5;37.50%), under nutrition (28.13%), suckling (18.75%), previous history of dystocia (9.37%) and other factor like metritis, periparturient diseases (6.25%).Downloads
