A Study on the Occurences and Caused Reproductive Disorders of the Introduced Dariy Cattle in Cheju-do I. The Investigation of Reproductive Performances

The results from a survery on the reproduction of a, pp.oximately 500 dairy cows raised in four different farming areas including Cheju city, Jochun, Hallim and Sung-up are summarized as follows; 1. At the occurrence of first estrus, the average age of the heifers was 15.1 months (330 Kg/B.W.), and at first conception 18.0 months (354Kg/B.W.). There was no regional differences. 2. The average interval of the estrous cycle was 20.4 days. And the repetition of esturs after unsuccessful insemination occurred on an average of 1.6 times, especially 2.0 times in the herds of the Jochun district. 3. The ages at the first calving were similar to the data recorded for the domestic mainland's herds at 27.1 months. But some regional differences were recognized within the four districts: i.e. 28.6 (Cheju city), 27.4(Jochun), 27.1(Hallim) and 25.3 months (Sung-up). There was no significant differences in sex ratio of newborns at 50.4%(♂) and 49.6%(♀). 4. The intervals of esturs recurrence and the following conception after calving were 80.0 and 95.8 days respectively. In the followsing conception intervals after cavling, 90.6-97.4 days were average for the herds of Cheju city and Jochun districts, 62.4-69.7 days for those of Hallim and Sung-up districts. 5. The average gestation period was 279.8 days, and was almost identical in the four districts. 6. The calving intervals was 377.7 days in average, and it was shorter than the data recorded for the domestic mainland's herds. Also it was reduce gradually according to the calving frequency.
