Abstract

The repeat breeder syndrome has a major impact on herd reproductive performance. In Quebec, reproductive problems are the most important causes of culling in the dairy industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and the risk factors associated with the repeat breeder syndrome (RBS) in Quebec dairy cows and heifers.
