The objective of this work was to analyze the various factors which influence calving interval (CI), true fertility (TF), ratio of birth (RBW) and weaning weight (RWW) of the calf to the calving weight of the cow, using the crossbred herd of EMBRAPA Cerrados as a model. The data, from 4469 calvings, collected between 1976 and 1999, was analyzed using the GLM, CORR and PRINCOMP procedures of SAS. The reproductive parameters investigated include ratio of calf birth weight/calving weight of […]
