ARANA D., Carlos; ECHEVARRIA C., Luisa  y  SEGURA C., Julia. Factores que afectan el intervalo parto-primer servicio y primer servicio-concepción en vacas lecheras del Valle del Mantaro durante la época lluviosa. Rev. investig. vet. Perú [online]. 2006, vol.17, n.2, pp.108-113. ISSN 1609-9117.

A reproductive study was conducted in the El Mantaro valley, Junín, Peru. Forty milking cows from 6 farms were monitored during the rainy season. The effect of breed, parity, milk yield, farm, and technological level on the interval from calving to first ovulation (CFOI), to first service (CFSI), and to conception (CCI) were evaluated. CFOI was determined through progesterone radioimmunoassay concentration in defatted milk. CFOI was within the expected range for dairy cattle (41.2 ± 20.2 days); however, CFSI (118.4 ± 69.2) and CCI (171.3 ± 105.5 days) were too long, possibly due to heat detection failures and nutritional constraints. Farm technological level was the only variable of importance that affected CFSI.

Palabras clave : calving to first ovulation interval; calving to first service interval; calving to conception interval.
