Success rate of artificial insemination, reproductive performance and economic impact of failure of first service insemination: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A retrospective cohort study using a 10 year artificial insemination (AI) and cow reproductive performance data was conducted to study the success rate of AI; associations between effectiveness of AI and breed, AI season and, number of service per conception, and economic impact of failure of FSC in Dessie town, Dessie zuria and Kutaber districts. A total of 3480 dairy cows' AI and reproductive performance records which were performed between 2003 and 2013 in the three selected districts of South Wollo were used. The economic losses and costs for cows that failed to conceive at their first AI associated with the larger number of days open were estimated.

Result

The prevalence of conception has a statistically significant difference between breeds of cows (P = 0.01
