Abstract
A common problem of dairy cattle in all production systems and production
directions is their reduced production life and therefore their reduced
lifetime span. Among the main reasons of dairy cattle premature culling the
problems related to reproduction, udder and legs are prevailing. The order
of these reasons according to their significance is not the same in all
dairy cattle populations and depends on production direction, level of
production and specific technology of cattle breeding. There are also other
reasons of culling but these three groups are the main ones. Due to
frequency of their incidence, as well as economic damage which they can
cause in dairy cattle production, today they must be taken into account when
defining breeding goals for certain breeds and populations of cattle.
