Extract

9234 cows in 524 herds were divided into two groups in each herd, those holding to first service and those not holding to first service. The differences between the milk-yield means of each group in each herd were tested by an analysis of variance procedure, which showed no significant difference in milk production between the two fertility levels. It was also shown that the sample was homogeneous. The study shows that the amount of their milk yield during the month of service does not adversely affect the fertility of dairy cattle.
