Abstract: |
This study was undertaken to determine the suitability of different genotypes of crossbred cattle in Khumaltar Research Farm. Lactational milk yield was significantly affected by the genotypes (p<0.001). The least square means of milk yield of 75% Brownswiss was the highest (2631.6?152 kg.) followed by 75% Ayreshire ( 2478?318 kg.) and 75% Jersey (1945.9?131 kg.). The 50% Ayreshire yielded 2163?95 kg. milk followed by 50% Holstein (1882?86 kg.) and 50% Jersey (1796?136 kg.). 50% Brownswiss yielded the lowest milk (1625?89 kg.) among all the 50% crossbreeds. For three crossbred types viz. Brownswiss, Ayreshire and Jersey, 3/4 grade of the crossbred were superior to 1/2 grade in terms of milk production. The age at first service was also found significantly affected by the genotypes. (p<0.05).). The overall calving interval of 75% Jersey was the lowest (443.1?50.89 days) and that of 75% Ayreshire was the highest (652?152 days). The birth weight of calves were not significantly different for the sex, but differed with the genotypes (p<0.001). The birth weight of 75% Brownswiss was the highest (26.11?0.89 kg) and that of 50% Ayreshire was the lowest (16.55?0.89 kg.). |
