“…The variations in DMY possibly incur with genotype, hormonal influences, feeding system, quality and quantity of the feed, irresponsible care taker, ambient temperature and humidity. The average lactation length for HF50%×L50%, HF62.5%×L37.5%, HF75%×L25%, >HF75%×L<25% were 8.54±0.33, 9.40±0.37, 9.08±0.24 and 9.67±0.39 months, respectively and is comparable with the findings of Hasan (1995) and Uddin et al (2008) who reported the average LL varied from 256.3±24.37 to 284.69±1.64 days in Holstein-Local crossbred cattle of Bangladesh. In contrast, Alam et al (2008) found a bit lower LL (217.9 ± 18.7 days) than this study in HF×L crossbred cattle.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate productive and reproductive performances, current cattle breeding practices and its associated problems in different Holstein-Local (HF×L) crossbred genotypes under existing management condition of Bangladesh. Data on HF×L crossbred dairy cows were collected from the selected farmers of Natore, Sirajganj, Kishoreganj, Tangail and Gazipur districts while breeding bulls’ information were collected from different cattle breeding service providers. Genotype had significant effects on weight at first heat (WFH), mature body weight (MBW), age at first heat (AFH), age at first calving (AFC), post-partum heat period (PPHP), daily milk yield (DMY) and peak milk yield (PMY) (P<0.05) except the traits birth weight (BW) and service per conception (SPC). The HF75%×L25% crossbreds had significantly better AFH and AFC (P<0.001) than the three genetic groups having 50%, 62.5% and >75% HF inheritance. The highest DMY was found in >HF75%×L<25% (12.80±0.72 liters) and was lowest in HF50%×L50% (5.34±0.65 liters) crossbreds. At present 11 different graded breeding bulls have been used in artificial insemination (AI) program of Bangladesh. Use of heterogeneous breeding bulls (72.9%), AI technicians depended bull’s genotype selection (63%), absence of breeding data recording (89%) system and local market-based cow purchasing (83%) with unknown pedigree information were the major challenges identified for crossbred cattle development. Among the investigated samples, 27% cows suffered from various reproductive disorders like dystocia, low conception rate, abortion and retention of placenta. In conclusion, this study provides baseline information on actual production and reproduction potentials of different graded HF×L cows at farmers’ level and the associated limiting factors for crossbred cattle development in Bangladesh.

“…The reported that over all mean value for service per conception was 2.19 in native cows (Zebu cattle) in Bangladesh (Uddin et al, 2008;Mollah et al, 2015), 2.05 ± 1.47 in Holstein Friesian dairy cows in Ethiopia (Consentini et al, 2021) and 2.13 ± 0.037 in local (Sahiwal or Red Sindhi cross) dairy cows (Uddin et al, 2008;Mollah et al, 2015) in rural areas of Bangladesh. Therefore, it can be said that this study's results were less impressive than others.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate reproductive management and performance of dairy cows in Manikganj district. A total of 400 cows with varying genetics, including native (N), Sahiwal or Red Sindhi cross with native cows (S or RS×N), and Holstein-Friesian cross (HFC), were randomly selected from 60 farms, between February to November 2022. Various practices linked to reproductive management and parameters associated with reproductive performance, such as calving to first service interval (CFSI), calving to conception interval (CCI), number of services per conception (NSC), and calving interval (CI), along with data on health problems related issues, were collected using a predetermined questionnaire by interviewing farmers and personal observations. Results reveal that visual observation method (100%) was used for estrus detection and 91.67% farmers observed their cows several times in a day. The majority of farmers (78.3%) followed artificial insemination (AI) to conceive their cows. Only 43.3% farmers checked cow’s pregnancy routinely at 90-120 days after breeding by rectal palpation. Additionally, 26.7% farmers maintained dry period of their milch cows, whereas, 73.3% were not interested. Most of the farmers (75.0%) provided vitamin-mineral supplements during gestation period. However, only 30.0% farmers maintained hygienic condition during puerperium period. The average reproductive performances were CFSI (111.9 ± 18.0, 110.8 ± 21.9 and 106.4 ± 22.1 days), CCI (124.8 ± 20.0, 125.9 ± 21.8 and 121.7 ± 21.3 days), NSC (1.6 ± 0.5, 1.7 ± 0.6 and 1.8 ± 0.6) and CI (409.4 ± 21.4, 412.4 ± 21.8 and 408.3 ± 21.0 days) in N, S or RS×N and HFC cows, respectively (p>0.05). The overall prevalence of reproductive problems was 29.5 % and this rate was 46.0, 33.3 and 27.1% in N, S or RS×N and HFC cows, respectively. Therefore, reproductive management practices were good in majority of farms, but need to improve and performance of cows managed, is acceptable and mostly fall within the reproductive goals for sustainable production and farm income.

“…The overall mean of this crossbred genotype was 3.96 lit./day/cow. 2017) for L-F crossbred at Manikgonj district of Bangladesh (Khoda et al, 2015;Uddin et al, 2008;Miazi et al, 2007;Rokonuzzaman et al, 2009;Islam et al, 2016;Alam et al, 2008;Mondal et al, 2005;Nahar, 2007;Ratan et al, 2017). The daily milk yield variation possibly occurred due to biological phenomenon, hormonal influences, feeding system, quality and quantity of feed, irresponsible care taker, number of observation and severe intensive sun light.…”

Friesian crossbred is the most popular dairy animal in Bangladesh though very little work has been done on production performance at various blood level on southern part of this country. The current study was carried out to investigate milk yield performance of this popular crossbred cow genotype having three different blood levels in Barisal district (Ganges tidal flood plain area) of Bangladesh. Thirty-three (33) crossbred cows were assigned in which 11 were 50% Local-50% Friesian, 11 were 25% Local-75% Friesian and 11 were 25% Local-50% Friesian- 25% Sahiwal considered for current study. Microsoft Excel was used to analyze collected data. Highest average daily milk yield of 5.74 lit. was obtained from 25% Local-50% Friesian-25% Sahiwal, followed by 5.24 lit. from 25% Local-75% Friesian and 3.96 lit. from 50% Local- 50% Friesian cows. In case of 50% Local-50% Frisian, highest average daily milk was found in 5th lactation while lowest was in 1st lactation. For 25% Local- 75% Friesian and 25% Local-50% Friesian-25% Sahiwal, highest mean milk yield per day was found in 3rd lactation while in 1st lactation it was lowest. It was concluded that among the three crossbred genotypes studied 25% Local-50% Friesian-25% Sahiwal was most efficient in term of milk production in southern part (Barisal district) of Bangladesh
