Should the Number of Inseminations Per Pregnancy or the Number of Heats Per Pregnancy in Dairy Cattle Be Preferred?

Abstract

Some reproductive criteria were emphasized in this study, and it was debated which ones were more beneficial. Also, it tried to explain that the reproductive parameters discussed should have a connection and harmony. In addition, the importance of the average of days in milk (𝐷𝐼𝑀̅̅̅̅̅̅) parameter of the herd and how it affects not only the reproductive success of the herd but also the profitability of milk yield was explained in the figures. The deficiencies of the number of insemination per pregnancy (NIPP) criterion, which was the main subject of this study, in showing the reproductive success of the flock were discussed and instead, it was argued that the correct parameter was the number of estrus per pregnancy (NEPP). It was emphasized that the use of the NEPP parameter instead of NIPP eliminated the incompatibility among other parameters.
