Abstract

The Least Square Means (LSM) for Lactation Milk Yield (LMY), Lactation Period (LP), Dry Period (DP) and Inter-calving Period (ICP) in Khillar Cows were 531.22±19.86, 231.68±8.00, 221.90±15.54 and 467.33±15.86 days, respectively. The season showed significant (p<0.01) influence on LMY and LP whereas it was non significant on DP and ICP. The period of calving has highly significant (p<0.01) influence on all the traits under study except DP. The influence of parity was highly significant (p<0.01) on DP and ICP and was non significant on LP effect in Khillar breed of cattle.
