Abstract:
The present study was conducted on Binjharpuri cows from different clusters in Jajpur district of Odisha. The investigation pertaining to milk quality traits was carried out by collecting milk samples from Binjharpuri cows spread over different locations. The data were then analysed by least-squares variance technique of fitting constants to estimate the mean performance and the effect of genetic and non-genetic factors on milk quality traits. In the present study, the overall least square mean for fat percentage was recorded to be 5.503±0.087 percent and the analysis of variance revealed highly significant effect ((p≤0.01) of lactation order on fat percentage.
