Abstract
This aim of this study demonstrated the relationship between the nutritional variables of ration and the fertility parameters in the postpartum period in dairy cattle farms. All dairy cattle farms, which used in present study, were with fertility problems (calving range ≥14 months and artificial insemination number ≥1.8). Ration and milk samples were taken from selected dairy cattle farms. Fertility records from herd registration systems were examined. In the study, milk urea nitrogen (MUN) levels of the milk samples were different between the farms; the lowest was 7.37 mg/dL, and the highest was 32.92 mg/dL (P
