The present study was undertaken on “Effect of season on composition of Red Sindhi cow milk” on healthy 20 cows (Red Sindhi cow) selected from Agriculture College Dhule dairy farm Dhule. All cows were housed in barn under similar management conditions. All clean milk sanitary precautions were undertaken to produce clean milk by dry full hand method of milking. In different seasons viz. Rainy, winter and summer season representative samples of 200 ml milk were collected. Samples of fresh milk drawn from the udder were analyzed for fat, lactose, protein, ash and total solid (T.S.). It was found that season had significant effect on fat, protein, ash and total solid (T.S.) and non-significant effect on lactose content of cow milk.
