The incidence of reproductive disorders in dairy cows was evaluated in our study. Post partum cows (n=65) examined at 25th and 40th days formed the first group (CD group), whereas clinical cases (n=147) presented to the clinical outdoor (CC group) and clinical cases presented at two infertility camps (IC group) (n=134) formed the next two groups. Endometritis was the single largest reproductive disorder recorded in CD group cows followed by ovarian cysts and post partum metritis. Incidence of repeat breeding was highest in group CC cows (53.06%) followed by anestrus (22.44%), metritis (19.04%) and ovarian cysts (5.44%). A nearly similar trend of reproductive disorders was evident in infertility camps. A total of 23.07 and 35.48 percent of repeat breeding cows in CC and IC groups respectively were suffering from endometritis. Endometritis is the most frequent reproductive disorder affecting post partum dairy cows and repeat breeding in dairy cows.
