Abstract: Calving records with sex ratio of births were studied in summer, monsoon and winter of
local, crossbred and purebred cows. The higher percentage of birth found during summer
(39.07%) followed by winter (32.79%) and monsoon (28.14%) and female and male ratio
were 48.25:51.75; 44.66:55.34 and 40.83:59.17, respectively in summer, monsoon and
winter in local cows; whereas in crossbred cows, birth percentage is highest in summer
(36.96%) followed by winter (35.98%) and monsoon (27.06%) and no significant
difference were found on sex ratio of births of crossbred cows. The highest percentage of
birth of purebred at Holstein-Friesian and Sahiwal cows are noted in winter (40.93%)
followed by monsoon (30.48%) and summer (28.59%) and no significant difference were
found on sex ratio of births of purebred cows in different seasons.
