Buffalo genetic improvement program in Vene- zuela by José A. Aranguren-Méndez, Rafael M. Román-Bravo, Ricardo A. Briceño-Rojas, Mauricio G. Briceño-Rojas, Luis A. Pacheco-Díaz

“…Since many of the selection plans in this species have been directed to production traits (milk, solids in milk, and meat), reproduction needs to be included to avoid a reduction in fertility since poor reproductive ability, long age at first calving, calving intervals, and a low conception rate, constituting these elements as one of the main drawbacks of buffalo livestock. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the outcome of sixteeen years of an Artificial Insemination (AI) program and develop a selection index that included multiparous females’ milk yield (MY) and reproduction (calving intervals: CI) (60% MY 40% CI) while in the heifers, milk ability and age at first service. …”
