              Abstract
              
                
                
                The data on 122 calvings from 58 interse progeny of 
                Holstein Friesian (HF) and Deoni (D) breed for a period of 12 
                years were considered for the study. The data were collected 
                from Cattle Cross Breeding Project (CCBP), Marathwada 
                Agricultural University, Parbhani for season of calving and 
                parity. The effect of season of calving and parity on dry period 
                and intercalving period was studied. The least square means (LSM) 
                for dry period and intercalving period were 185.62+17.23 days 
                and 470.13+18.28 days, respectively. The effect of season of 
                calving and parity on dry period and intercalving period were 
                non-significant.
                
                
                Keywords: Season of calving, parity, dry period 
                and intercalving period.
