  1. Associations between outcomes for reproductive performance; natural logarithm of the interval to last AI (lnCLAI), and calving interval and the explanatory variables; management, season, parity, and breeding management as assessed by mixed linear models adjusted for multiple lactations within cow by the use of compound symmetry correlation structure and herd as random effect.
