Reproductive efficiency is the economic pillar in dairy systems. The objective was to evaluate the effect of days open (DO) of the first calving on milk production and productive life time (Number of calvings) of Holstein (H) and Holstein x Jersey (F1 HXJ) cows grazing in Villa Elisa, Argentina. 5,155 lactations were analyzed (H, n=3,399 and F1 HXJ, n=1756). Cows were grazed on alfalfa pastures and supplemented with grain corn and corn silage. Cows were classified by DO into the following categories: Cat1(30-60), Cat2(61-90), Cat3(91-120), Cat4(12-150) and Cat5(+151). Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA. A category x race effect (P<0.05) was found. F1 HXJ cows in cat5 had lower production (6,587.0±61.0 L) than cat1,2,3 and 4 cows (6,861.0±71.0; 6,881.0±57.0; 6,891.0± 67.0; 6,747.0±.0 98 L, respectively). F1 HXJ cat5 cows had a lower NP (3) than F1 HXJ cat2 (4). H cat5 cows had a lower production (6,608.0±37.0 L) compared to H cat1,2,3 and 4 (7,046.0± 55.0; 7,129.0±46.0; 6,976.0±57.0 and 6,977.0±76.0 L; respectively). A greater (P<0.05) percentage of H cows fell into cat 4 and 5 (44.5%) compared to F1 HXJ cows (34.0%). Cows that had a higher DA number in the first lactation had fewer calvings. In conclusion, Holstein and F1 Holstein x Jersey cows in Villa Elisa, Argentina with a greater number of days open in their first lactation had lower milk production and a shorter productive life.
