Özet

In cattle farming enterprises, reproductive efficiency is one of the most important factors that determine the income level of enterprises by directly affecting milk production and the number of calves born. One of the reasons for low productivity in dairy farming is repeat breeder cows. In this study, worldwide trends in repeat breeder were analyzed bibliometrically. The aim of the research is to analyze the trends and groups by examining the publications in this field. In the searches made with the keyword “repeat breeder” in the Web of Science (WOS) database between 1980-2025, 1746 studies were examined, inappropriate studies were eliminated and 1713 articles were analyzed. Data collection was based on information including the title, author names, year of publication, journal name, and citation count. VOSviewer software was used for the analysis, with accuracy ensured by applying text mining and visualization techniques (e.g., bubble maps). The results show that there are 1713 articles in the field of repeat breeder with 37419 citations and an average of 22 citations per article. The number of published articles and corresponding citations has grown since 2002. Most articles (72%) were published in the fields of agriculture and veterinary medicine, with the USA, India, and China accounting for the highest number of publications (45%). The majority of the studies (92%) are indexed in the SCI-Expanded category. This study highlights global trends and important studies in the field of repeat breeders and provides guidance on future research directions in this field.
