Calving Losses, Number of Days in Milking, Dairy Cattle, Fertility lossesAbstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of fertility losses on the success of the dairy-cattle breeding in the Konya Province, Çumra district, Türkiye. A survey was conducted by interviewing 98 operating livestock enterprises in the district that were chosen according to the stratified random sampling method. Socioeconomic analyses were conducted primarily for these enterprises and indicators of the number of days in milking (DIM), calving loss, insemination loss, heat incontinence cost, and service period were calculated to determine fertility losses in the dairy enterprises. Our results indicated that there were economic losses in reproductive yields of $10,807.57 in the small-scale enterprises, $20,818.12 in the medium-scale enterprises, and $49,248.83 in the large-scale enterprises. According to our results, reproductive controls, herd management, accounting for fertility disorders, and developing herd-tracking systems based on the size of the enterprise would help to reduce these economic losses.
