Abstract: The major problem for beef cattle industry in our country is currently facing with tension of commercial cattle sources and insufficiency of beef supply. Low reproductive rate of basic cows is an important factor causing tension of cattle sources. Therefore, improving cow reproductive rate is of great significance to alleviating tension of cattle sources, improving farming income and promoting healthy development of the industry. In this experiment, the combination of short-term aphrodisiac fodder and aphrodisiac drug was used to improve cow reproductive rate. The results showed that aphrodisiac fodder combined with aphrodisiac drug made cow estrus rate reach 81.8% and percent pregnancy rate reach 63.6% within two months. Estrus and pregnancy rates were improved significantly. Compared with the present mode of production, the technology solution has obvious effects and can significantly improve the breedin~ economic benefits.
