The present study was undertaken during 2017-18 in Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh representing three different dairy production systems namely; dynamic, transient and subsistence dairy production systems of India to assess the prevalence of major reproductive problems of dairy animals and to identify the constraints faced by the farmers in managing reproductive problems. Eighty respondents from each of three states were selected through simple random sampling thus constituting a sample size of 240. Data were collected through structured interview schedule. Findings revealed that there was high prevalence of anestrus (19.19%), repeat breeding (18.15%) and prolapse (15.83 %) in dairy animals of Haryana while late sexual maturity (15.22 %), anestrus (12.20 %) and repeat breeding (10.58 %) were reported in Madhya Pradesh. Late sexual maturity (16.07%), anestrus (11.96%) and RFM (8.91%) were important reproductive problems which widely affect the dairy animals in Chhattisgarh. Inadequate veterinary facilities during the time of emergency, high cost of treatment for reproductive problems and lack of knowledge about reproductive management of dairy animals were the most important constraints reported by respondents from Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh respectively.
