Abstract:
In the present study 27 lactation yield records of six parities and four years of calving were collected from N.R.C.C., Bikaner to analyse quantitative characteristics of Bikaneri, Jaisalmeri and Kachchhi breeds of camel. The least –square analysis of variance showed that effect of breed and parity were non significant. Only year of calving was significant on lactation yield. The overall average lactation yield was 1086.63 + 105.54 liters. The camel calved in the year 1997 produced highest milk 1503.17 + 129.099 liters as compared to 1992, 1993 and 1996. It was noticed that overall lactation milk yield was associated with high variability. Hence, there is great scope of genetic exploitation to further augment the lactation milk yield in camel.
