ABSTRACT

A total of 2235 Monthly Test Day Milk Yield (MTDMY) records of 279 Murrah buffaloes from three villages which had calved during 2003-2007 and completed three lactations, of district Karnal (Haryana), were analyzed to study the effect of non-genetic factors on the MTDMY. Study was conducted to see the effect of season of birth, year of calving, effect of floor, wallowing, ventilations, AI practices, education, herd size and village on the MTDMY. Management practices followed in the villages was also studied in order to assess farmer’s acquaintance to the modern management practices. It was observed that fair management practices adopted in villages around the National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, India. Facility of wallowing, herd size and village was having significant effect (P
