## Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of repeat breeding in dairy cows under tropical condition. This was a preliminary study conducted in Sinjai Regency, Indonesia. A total of 82 Holstein Friesian lactating cows from five dairy farmer groups were used in the present study. Of the 82 cows, 75.6% eventually became pregnant after repeated inseminations (AI). The incidence of repeat breeding in this area was very high (62%). Days in milk (DIM) at first AI, first AI conception rate, and calving to conception interval were 62.519.3 days, 0%, and 202.8150.0 days, respectively. There was no difference in DIM at first AI between repeat breeders and normal fertility cows (60.415.2 days vs 68.328.6 days). However, normal fertility cows required only 123.352.9 days to conceive and 2.40.8 inseminations per pregnancy, whereas repeat breeders required significantly more days to conceive (222.9134.1 days) and more inseminations per pregnancy (4.80.9). In conclusion, repeat breeder dairy cows under tropical condition had very poor and reduced reproductive performance.
