Abstract:
The present study was aimed to analyze the incidence of udder, calving and uterine disorders in Gir cattle breed and to estimate the effect of season of calving and parity on their incidence. The overall incidence of udder, calving and uterine problems on clinical data basis were 7.12, 12.46 and 8.01 percent, respectively. On Wald Chi-square analysis, the incidence of calving problem decreased significantly (p<0.05) with increasing parity number while incidence of uterine disorders significantly increased (p<0.05) with increasing parity number of animals. Incidence of dystocia was found to be significantly (p<0.05) higher in first parity animals. The incidence of mastitis was significantly (p<0.05) higher in summer season as compared to other seasons. Season of calving showed non-significant effect on incidence of udder, calving and uterine disorders.
