Abstract

Among the various infertility-related disorders, Repeat Breeding Syndrome (RBS) alone accounted for approximately 18–20%, highlighting its significant contribution to the overall infertility burden in dairy cows in India, with prevalence rates reported to be between 5.5% and 51.94%. Notably, 30.4% of cattle and buffaloes were culled, with infertility—including repeat breeding—identified as the primary reason for removal from the herd due to prolonged calving intervals, reduced milk production, and economic losses for dairy farmers.
