Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyse the calving interval pattern in Swamp and Murrah cross breed buffaloes and to determine the relationship between the calving interval and the average rainfall factor. The study was conducted at Buffalo Breeding and Research Centre, Department of Veterinary Services and Animal Industry, Telupid, Sabah. This retrospective study was conducted on the total of 50 female buffaloes (25 Swamp and 25 Murrah crossbred). The data on age, body weight, and the calving interval of the buffaloes was collected from the farm records and compared with the data of the rainfall to determine the correlation of the variables. The buffaloes were chosen based on two criteria; the age between 3-9 years and having good breeding record. Correlation analysis was done to determine the relationship between the calving intervals, average rainfall and breed. The results showed significant difference between the calving intervals and breed at P<0.05. There was also significant correlation between breed and rainfall at P<0.05. The calving interval and rainfall were negatively correlated but not statistically significant (P>0.05). The calving interval pattern of Murrah crossbred buffaloes (449 days) was shorter as compared to Swamp buffaloes (497 days).
