Analysis on the Factors Affecting Reproductive Traits of Pandharpuri Buffalo Under Field Condition

Data of 3228 buffalo sired by 96 bulls maintained at the Solapur, Sangali and Kolapur districts in mahaashtra state were analysis to study the performance of Pandharpuri buffaloes at the coastal region of Maharashtra, India. Least-squares means and standard error were estimated for reproductive traits viz., age at first estrus, age of first mating, age of first calving, service period, number of services per conception, calvng interval and gestation length were 33.62±0.09, 34.13±0.07, 44.32±0.06, months and 85.49±0.78 days, 1.18±0.02, 395±0.8 days, 309.99±0.01days, respectively in pandharpuri buffalo. Least squares analysis of variance for reproductive traitsindicated significant effect of location and group of age at first calving except gestation length in pandharpuri buffalo. Higher values for age at first oestrus, age at first mating, service period and calving intervalwere observed in solapurdistricts, conception were higher in Kolhapur and Sangali districts, respectively. service period, number of services per conception, calvng interval were showed increase trend from lower group of age at first calving to higher group of age at first calving.
