(Calving interval: Rebreeding after calving depends upon the involution and uterine health of the cow.); Kũraihanĩrĩria mũno kwa maciara kuuma mĩeri 12 nginya 14 nogũcũngirĩrie ũnyihu wa baida ũkĩringithania na irio iria ng'ombe ĩyo igũkorwo ĩrĩte, ũnyihu wa iria na wa njaũ iria ĩgũciarwo nĩ ng'ombe ĩyo. (Extension of inter-calving period from 12 to 14 months or more results into substantial reduction financial return over feeding costs as there will be loss in milk, calves produced per cow etc.); Nĩũndũ ũcio, nogũkorwo na unyihu wa baida angĩkorwo maciara nĩmekũraihanĩrĩria makĩria ma mwaka ũmwe harĩ ng'ombe.
