In study about the average of gestation length and the factors which involve to the pregnancy of 2599 dairy cows in Rachaburi and Kanchanaburi. We also found that the average is 276+-9 days. There are the factors that affect the gestation length such as sex (p LT 0.1) and number of calves (p LT 0.05) and the 3 months averages of the temperature that higher than 85 deg F (p LT 0.01).
