There was conducted a study on 2348 milk samples of buffalo cows from Bulgarian Murrah breed in order to estimate the influence of different sources of variance on the components of buffalo milk.The study spanned the period 1994-1999.Individual milk samples (A-4) from morning and evening milking for normal lactation were used.A linear model with fixed effects: genealogical line (i=1...4); calving season (j=1...4); number of lactation (m=1...11) and month of lactation (n=1...11) was ussed to define the effect of influence of the different sources of variance.The total LS average estimations of fat (%), protein (%), lactose (%), dry matter (%) and dry fat free residual (%) are 7.94, 4.49, 4.86, 17.72 and 9.95 respectively.The number of the lactation month influences significantly the components of milk.
