ABSTRACT: The present investigation was conducted to examine age/parity and period specific incidence of disposal of Haryana cattle maintained at Govt. live stock farm, Hastinapur in the Nortern India. The analysis was carried out on data of 641 calving records of 193 adult cows born between 1992 to 2009. Traits. Considerid in present study were abnormal calving and female calving, Disposal of female cows from first to last lactation. The overall incidence of disposal of female adult up to the last lactations was 65.28 percent, comprising 39.37 percent due to mortality and 25.90 percent due to culling and was higher significantly effected by periods and parity. The loss of cow per lactation averaged to be 11.42 percent, comprising 6.89 percent due to death and 4.53 percent were culled from the herd. The losses being higher in young calves belonging to first five lactations. The overall replacement rate over the period of 18 years was 1.5 percent and the expected herd life at first lactation was 4.72 lactations. It was in decling trend with increase in lactation numbers. The average life expectancy of a cow during first lactation was estimated as 4.87 lactation in this herd. INTRODUCTION The lower survivability as well as higher disposal mortality and culling of calves will result into poor replacement of breeding stock and adversely affect the improvement of animals and this problem can be shot out by genetic improvement and in management practices. As larger herd size facilitate in more intense selection and gives freedom for voluntary culling to the breeder, so this is the primary requirement for genetic improvement of the breed. The herd size can be increased by reducing the selection intensity and improving health status and survivability, Disposal (comprising mortality and culling) of animals is a major. constraints in achieving the goal. In every farm some calves leave the herd due to death and such loss of calves not only reduce the economic soundness but also limits the genetic progress by providing fewer replacements. Therefore, getting more number of female calves by increasing the fertility status and reducing the involuntary disposal at paternal and postnatal stages are the best way to increase herd size for genetic improvement and profitable dairy enterprise. Therefore, calf management should be scientific,
