MILK COMPOSITION OF CROSSBRED AND DESI CATTLE MAINTAINED IN THE SUB-TROPICAL HIGH RANGES OF KERALA
A comparison of milk yield and composition of various indigenous and crossbred cattle was undertaken to evaluate their performance in the sub- tropical high altitudes of Kerala.A total of 173, 95, 63 and 63 morning milk samples from 42 CBHF, 12 Vechur, six Sahiwalandsix Kankrej cows of early second...

| Shrnutí: | A comparison of milk yield and composition of various indigenous
and crossbred cattle was undertaken to evaluate their performance in the sub-
tropical high altitudes of Kerala.A total of 173, 95, 63 and 63 morning milk
samples from 42 CBHF, 12 Vechur, six Sahiwalandsix Kankrej cows of early
second lactation were analyzed for total solids, fat, solids-not-fat, lactose,
protein and chloride by conventional methods. Least squares analysis revealed
that breed and test-day climate significantly influenced the milk yield and
composition (P>0.05). The mean lactation yield in Vechur, Sahiwal, Kankrej
and CBHF were 514.62 ± 42.87 Kg, 1025.65 ± 358.15 Kg, 1102.45 ± 358.15
Kg and 1763.93 ± 128.16 Kg respectively. Kankrej had higher fat and total
solids while Vechur had higher SNF, protein and lactose (P > 0.05). Vechur
had lesser seasonal fluctuations in major constituents,indicating it’s
adaptability and climatic resilience as the native breed of Kerala. |
