Effect of milk production level on artificial insemination (AI) and final pregnancy rate for beef cows
| Measurement | Milk production1 | SEM | P-value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | Mod | High | |||
| AI pregnancy rate, % | 57a | 55a | 44b | 3 | 0.02 |
| Final pregnancy rate2, % | 81a | 86b | 75c | 2 | 0.03 |
Means with different superscripts differ (P ≤ 0.05).
Milk production groups: Low (6.57 ± 1.21 kg), Mod (9.02 ± 0.60 kg), or High (11.97 ± 1.46 kg).
Final pregnancy rate after a 60 ± 5 d breeding season with cleanup bulls.
