Repeatability estimates of calving interval lactation length and milk yield in a herd of Bhagnari cattle
1999
Jalbani, A.H.
The study was conducted to estimate repeatability of calving interval, lactation length and milk yield in Bhagnari cattle at Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam during 1998-99. The records of 115 Bhagnari cows maintained at Bhagnari cum Balochi Sheep Farm Usta Muhammad, district. Jaffarabad, (Balochistan) for the period of 20 years i.e. 1976-1995 were analyzed to estimates repeatability of calving interval, lactation length and milk yield. The calving interval and lactation length averaged 482.54 plus- minus 8.60 and 212.70 plus-minus 2.23 days, respectively. The milk yield averaged 663.51 plus-minus 10.47 kg. The repeatability estimates for calving interval and lactation length were 0.256 plus-minus 0.061 and 0.140 plus-minus 0.047, respectively. The estimate of repeatability for milk yield was 0.396 plus- minus 0.051. The estimates of repeatability for calving interval, and lactation length are low whereas for the milk yield is medium.
