The results concluded that, the statistical tests (Analysis of variance test, t-test, and Chi2-test were effective tools to evaluate the diseases losses in dairy animals especially cattle and buffaloes . The higher incidence of productive and reproductive disorders in buffaloes was reported in anestrous (33.5%), inactive ovaries (31.2%), silent heat (22.6%), endometritis (13.2%) and clinical mastitis (11.7%). Where, the lower incidence was repeated breeder (8.8%), retained placenta (7.5%), lameness (4.3%), and abortion (1.8%) respectively. While, in cattle, the incidence of productive and reproductive disorders reported was from highest to lowest as follows clinical mastitis (29%), endometritis (25.5%), lameness (17.4%), repeat breeder (14.2%), retained placenta (13.3%), anestrous (7%), inactive ovaries (5.7%), silent heat (5.1%) and abortion (1.2%) respectively.
