Abstract
An account of the sterility of cows of a region held per year and per cause reveals that (see Table 1):
-
1.
The frequency of sterility is constant. Approximately 15% of the demands for insemination are refused or postponed.
-
2.
The frequency of each cause varies little.
-
3.
Physiological sterility represents 30 to 40% of these causes.
-
4.
Pathological sterility represents 60 to 65% or we may say 1 cow in ten is sterile.
-
5.
The cases of casting are not numerous (less than 1% of the livestock).
-
6.
96.5% of the pathological sterility cases can be treated and 80% cured rapidly.
