Various body measurements and their correlation with milk yield and fat percentage: 2. Studies in surti buffaloes

1990

Jogi, Kumar R.V. | Patel, G.U. (Institute of Agriculture Amul Dairy, Anand, Gujarat (India))

Study was carried out to find out the association between physical traits and production characteristics in 25 Surti buffaloes. Out of the six traits studied only height at withers (r=-0.446) and distance between pin-bones (r=+0.455) were found to be significantly related the milk yield but their regression coefficient was of little practical value. None of the other characters studied showed any association with milk yield or fat percent in Surti buffaloes.
