Abstract

On the basis of 3484 calving records of 811 Jersey, Hariana and crossbred cows, it was observed
that the per cent incidence of reproductive disorders among the progeny of different sires did not fall
within the normal range of 30-70%. Susceptibility of prolapse, dystocia, retained placenta, metritis and
abnormal bilth was 2.6, 3.0, 3.4, 3.0 and 3.6% in Jersey cows; 4.4, 5.7, 5.8, 5.6 and 6.6% in crossbred
and 2.4, 3.1, 3.8, 2.9 and 3.5% in Hariana cows, respectively. Crossbred cattle were more susceptible to
these disorders than Hariana and Jersey cattle. These disorders were significantly associated with each
other. The skewness and kurtosis were absent for all the disorders in all the genetic groups except for
prolapse and abnormal birth in Jersey cattle population.
