Abstract:

A comparative biometrical study was conducted on reproductive organs of dairy cows (n = 86) of different genotypes available in Rajshahi city corporation of Bangladesh. Three types of genotype were considered for this experiment. The genotypes are Local, Local×Holstein Friesian and Local×Sahiwal. Reproductive tracts of cows were collected immediately after slaughter from different slaughter houses in Rajshahi, Bangladesh from July 2017 to June 2018. The comparison of measurements of most of the parameters of reproductive tract observed in different genotypic cows showed significant differences (pve than the left one. Moreover, the biometry of ovary and tubular parts of genitalia in Local×Holstein Friesian and Local×Sahiwal cows are suggestive for selection of crossbred dairy cows to get maximum benefits from crossbreeding in respect of productive and reproductive performance and also for genetic improvement
