Data on body measurements like BL (body length), CG (chest girth), WH (wither height) TM (test day milk production), PM (peak milk production), LP (lactation period), CFDC (cost for concentrate feed before test day milk production per cow), GGU (green grass used before test day milk production per cow) and husbandry practices, were collected from a total of 100 dairy cattle at the villages of Islampur upazila under the district of Jamalpur in Bangladesh from January to February 2017. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS software. The highest BL, CG, WH, CFDC and GGU were 175.71±0.42 cm, 161.74±0.24 cm,123.82±0.11 cm 125.54±0.24 bdt/cow/day and 27.29±0.89 kg/cow/day, respectively. The highest amounts of TM, PM and LP were 9.36±0.60 liter/cow, 13.11±0.54 liter/cow and 247.14±1.47 days/cow, respectively. BL, CG and WH increased with increased of the age of crossbred cattle up to 150 months of old. Similarly, CFDC and GGU increased with the increased of the age of crossbred cattle up to 150 months of old. Farmers in the study area were not interested to keep breeding bulls for breeding purpose but they were using artificial insemination system to inseminate their cows and aware about production performance record of the inseminating bull. Farmers took health services from milk vita and sold milk to the same. They believed that dairy cattle rearing a profitable livelihood. TM, PM and LP increased with the increased of the age of crossbred cattle up to 150 months of old. However, increase of CFDC will increase TM, LP and PM but increase of GGU will increase only LP. On the other hand increase of CG will increase TM and increase of BL will increase LP and PM.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.4(2): 91-98, August 2017

Dairy farming is vulnerable to seasonal variable factors such as temperature, cold climatic conditions, and rainfall. These affect the production and reproduction traits of dairy animals. Seasonal variability also affects the quantity of consumption and marketing of milk considerably. The study aimed to assess the seasonal fluctuation in milk production in Sivagangai District Cooperative Milk Producer Union Limited (SDCMPUL), Tamil Nadu. The study used secondary data. The milk production data were collected from SDCMPUL, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu. The data covered the period from 2001-02 to 2020-21. The study used descriptive statistics, CAGR, and paired ‘t-test to determine the variation of milk production according to seasonal changes. The MS office - Excel software and SPSS software were used to analyse the data. The results revealed that the mean milk production of the lean and flush season was 2.46 and 2.30 lakh liters, and the CAGR of milk production in SDCMPUL, Tamil Nadu, during the period 2001-02 to 2020-21 was 5.65 percent, and it was 5.23 percent in lean season and 6.11 percent in the flush season while the growth rate of milk production during the lean and flush season was positive and was significant statistically. It was found that the quantity of milk production was higher in the lean season than a flush season; however, the variability of milk production was more in the flush season than in the lean season.

A cross sectional study was conducted to observe the factors affecting the productive performance of dairy cattle from northern rural areas of Bangladesh during July and September 2013. Data of 105 cows, 85 (80.95%) from local and 20 (19.05%) cows from cross breed, were randomly selected for the study. A binary logistic regression, expressed by odds ratio with 95% confidence interval, was done to determine the association of daily milk production categorized into ? 2 and > 2 liters (L), based on median, with the significant explanatory variables of body weight, age at first calving, lactation period, vitamin use, type of floor and milking person. The result demonstrated that the probability of milk production of >2 L was 6.16, 4.5, 20.65 and 5.7 times higher from the with animal body weight of >140 kg, age at first calving of >36 m, lactation period of >8 m and vitamin use than that of body weight of 140 kg, age at first calving of ?36 m, lactation period of ? 8 m, and not vitamin used respectively. The chance of milk production of > 2 L was 0.25 and 0.22 times lower for mud floor, and owner milking than that of brick floor and gowala (professional milking person) respectively.

This paper presents the results of the variability and correlation of body measurements and milk production of domestic Balkan goat breed that is reared in the mountain range Sharplanina, depending on the lactation. Studied animals were monitored and lactation, or order of kidding (I, II, III and IV and the next lactation together). Control of milk production, included a total of 290 goats in different lactations (first-81 animals, the second-69 heads, 71 heads third-and fourth and following along latkacije-69 heads). In order to determine the measure of body development in adult goats, one takes values for height at withers, body length, chest depth, chest width, the width of the cross and body weight. The variability of the analyzed characteristics is presented descriptive parameters and the effect of lactation is determined by a factorial analysis of variance. The determined average values for milk production and measures of body development are located within those identified for this population of goats. During these tests showed statistically significant correlation dependence (P <0.05) between all studied variables, except when it comes to length lactation period and individual measures of body development. The correlation coefficient between length of lactation and established measures of body development. are low and reflect the existence uncorrelation dependence, and their values range from 0.08 to 0.11, while they were unjustified and statistically (P> 0.05).

(Creating milk production correction factors of dairy cattle)ABSTRACT. The aim of the research was to obtain the correction factors of non-genetic effects that have influence on milk production of dairy cows. The research used a survey method on milk records of dairy cows kept in Dairy Cattle Breeding Center (BBPTU) of Baturraden. The data taken was only those relevant with the research objective. The data examined were as many as 324 production records of 108 dairy cows which had completed first three lactation, originated from 36 sires. Non-genetic factors studied were season, lactation period, number of days in milk of a lactation and age at birth. The effects of non-genetic factors were estimated through Stepwise multiple regression method. Effect of the number of days in milk of a lactation was highly significant (P ≤ 0.01), age at birth was significant (P ≤ 0.05), and season and the lactation period were not significant (P0.05) on milk production of dairy cows. Variables that have effect on milk production were then assigned the correction factors. Correction factors were derived from the least square mean (LSM) of the actual milk production. The correction factors were obtained by comparing the base LSM to the created LSM values on particular classes. The corrected milk production was obtained by multiplying the corresponding correction factor obtained with the actual milk production. Based on the study, the local correction factors lower the milk production variability of dairy cows.

The objective of this research was to assess the status of cattle in respect of breeding system, quality of breeding services, their production, reproduction, health status, management system and marketing system using an in-depth baseline survey. The mean of homestead land owned by the farmers was 36.17± 32.94 decimal and most of them (48.3%) own very low homestead land (11-50 decimal). Average cultivable land owned was found as 101.52±61.044 decimal and a considerable number of farmers have medium (51-150 decimal) to high (151 onward decimal) land area. From the collected data, it is clear that most of the households have cattle and chicken. But among cattle owners, about 77.62% have lower number (1-3). Most of the farmers 69.8% use locally available grass and only 3.2 % fed exotic grass to their cows. Milk sale and consumption (52.13%) was found as main objective behind cattle rearing. Semi-intensive method of rearing was found most acceptable (77.62%) among the peri-urban farmers. Disease problem was quite high because of lack of routine vaccination where vaccination was found to be practiced by only 38.46% farmers. Indigenous cattle are of high preference among the farmers (52.45%) because of its easy management and high resistance to disease, 41.2% percent farmers preferred crossbred cattle. Main reasons behind preference for Deshi cattle were easy management (24.48%) and lower feed requirement (12.59%) whereas, reason behind crossbred preference (35.66%) was higher milk production. Artificial Insemination (AI) was preferred (61.06%) over natural service (38.94%). For artificial insemination, semen of Holstein Friesian (43.07%) was preferred where Deshi was the second most choice (32.12%). Most of the farmers (82.9%) have no idea about genotype, quality & merit of semen. Average milk yield of Deshi and crossbred genotype were found as 1.72±0.80 and 6.65±5.05 liter per day respectively whereas lactation period and dry period were found respectively as 243.98±113.13 and 92.37±63.14 days in crossbred, 249.69±106.93 and 96.58±32.06 days in Deshi cows.

Grazing Behaviour

1. A series of grazing behaviour observations on 10 sets of lactating identical twins is described. Four fortnights distributed over the main lactation period were covered. In three of the fortnights, the observations were made on six 24 hr. periods, while in the remaining fortnight the cows were observed on all 14 days.2. Anoutstanding feature of the grazing behaviour of dairy cattle is its variability, due to external and internal conditions.3. Of the external factors, climate (in a temperate zone) is relatively unimportant.4. The quantity and quality of the herbage offered are of importance in modifying the grazing behaviour of dairy cattle. Under adverse pasture conditions there is, in general, an increase of total working time (grazing + ruminating): grazing time increases with scarcity of herbage and with mixed quality, while ruminating time is prolonged by poor quality grass.5. Ruminating time is strongly dependent on the quantity and quality of the ingested grass, but the relationship is, for various reasons, obscured in a field trial such as the present.6. The adaptation of grazing habits to new conditions is very rapid.7. Feed requirement for milk production is the most important internal factor determining variation in the length of grazing time.8. Inheritance × environment interactions as a source of variations in grazing times are due to the following factors:(a) Differences amongst twin sets in lactational persistency, which presumably cause parallel differences in feed requirements.(b) Differences in the response of high and low producing twin sets to varying pasture conditions.(c) Non-analysable idiosyncrasies common to the members of some twin sets.9. Twin sets graze and ruminate at a characteristic rate.
