FACTORS INFLUENCING PEAK YIELD AND DAYS TO ATTAIN PEAK YIELD IN DIFFERENT GRADES OF BUFFALOES*.
1Bihar Veterinary College, Patna- 800 014, India
ABSTRACT
Data on 920 buffaloes were analyzed for peak yield and days to attain peak yield consisting of three Genetic groups viz. Graded Murrah, Diara buffaloes and non-descript buffaloes. Buffaloes were enumerated from 145 dairy units located in and around Patna Bihar. Genetic groups had shown highly significant (png) and 5.82 lit. (1st lactation ) to 9.40 lit. (3rd lactation). Farming system and lactation order did not show significant effect on days to attain peak yield, while location had non-significant effect on both the traits.
