The present investigation was carried out in Bogra district of Bangladesh to evaluate the prevalence of reproductive diseases (RDs)in dairy cows. Out of 1500 cows, 770 clinical reproductive cases were registered from individual questionnaire in four upazilas under the district of Bogra. Genotypes of cows had significant effect (P<0.05) on most RDs. The prevalence of RDs were lower in <3 years age group except anestrus. Body weight had also significant effect (P<0.05) in all RDs.
