Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The effect of most of the management and socio-economic attributes such as housing, family size and land holding had non-significant influence on the productive and reproductive traits studied. The overall least square means of age at sexual maturity and age at first calving were 20.30 ± 1.03 and 30.24 ± 1.02 months, respectively. The occupation did not influence the productive characters such as lactation milk yield and peak yield and productive characters like age at sexual maturity and age at first calving. The lactation milk yield and peak yield were significantly influenced by supplementation of mineral mixture. Cows which were housed in pucca houses had longer lactations (334.84 ± 8.79 d).
