A total of 720 milk samples were collected at weekly interval from December 2015 to May 2016. The study animals were classified according to stage of lactation. The milk composition viz., fat, solid not fat, total solid, protein and lactose content of milk were analyzed. All parameters of milk except lactose, showed highly significant (p< 0.01) difference between stage of lactation.
