Abstract

The study is intended to determine the calving interval (CI) and Dry period (DP), which are reproductive characteristics of Anatolian buffaloes reared under farm conditions, to investigate the environmental effects on these characteristics, and to use the results in stud selection programs for breeding in buffalo herds. In the study, 1427 calving interval and dry period records of 756 heads of Anatolian buffalo reared between 2014-2021 were used. In this study, the overall mean and standard error of CI and DP were determined as 411.374.10 days and 191.703.13 days, respectively. The effects of county, calving year, season and parity on these features were determined. In the study, the effect of all environmental factors on CI and DP, apart from the county, was found to be significant (p
