A detailed and organized questionnaire format was designed and an attempt was made to generate base line information with particular emphasis on infertility problems of indigenous and crossbred dairy cows in smallholder, medium and large scale dairy farms in and around Gondar, North Western Ethiopia from January 2012 to September 2013. The questionnaire was framed in such a way that dairy producers could give information that were recent and easy to recall, and it was filled directly by interviewing randomly selected small, medium and large scale dairy farms in and around Gondar. A total of 243 owners and/or attendants were interviewed using structured questionnaire of 650 cows were examined of which 352 (54.15%) had at least one of the infertility problems.
