“…The average age at first calving (AFC), first lactation 305 days, first lactation length and first peak yield were 1273.44±39.87 days (41.85 months), 2295.27±133.83 kg, 312.13±11.94 days and 10.53±0.51 kg, respectively. Contrary to the present findings, Parek et al (2016) reported higher average AFC of 1376.09 days in Kankrej cattle. The average estimates of first lactation 305days yield and lactation length obtained in the present study were higher than the estimates of 1860.30 kg and 279.9 days reported by Gajbhiye (2004) in the same breed.…”

The genetic improvement programme of Kankrej cattle under AICRP on Cattle is implemented in their home tract for their conservation and propagation. The involvement of farmer’s animal under the programme has helped to create awareness among the cattle breeders on the importance of this valuable breed. The production of frozen semen doses of genetically superior young bulls and providing the AI facility at the doorstep of the farmer has motivated and increased the conception rate to a large extent. The average age at first calving (AFC), first lactation 305 days milk yield, first lactation length and first peak yield were 1273.44±39.87 days (41.85 months), 2295.27±133.83 kg, 312.13±11.94 days and 10.53±0.51 kg, respectively. The average first service period and dry period were 149.81±16.27 and 126.30±13.31 days and overall lactation average dry period, service period and calving interval were 144.74±9.65, 169.39±15.03 and 434.24±12.94 days, respectively. The average all lactation 305 days milk yield, lactation length and days to attain peak yield were 2627.35±119.42 kg, 307.57±08.54 days and 55.75±6.12 days, respectively. The wet average and dry average were 8.58 and 5.38 kg, respectively. The performance of Kankrej cattle has improved over the years due to the implementation of the project and continuous efforts will be made to propagate this valuable germplasm to the needy people of the country.

“…The result are close to similar with Crossbred cows (1300±5.5 days) reported by Hassan and Khan (2013), while age at first calving is lower when compare with Gir cows (1490.50 ±111.04 days) reported by Dangar et al (2014) and Gangatiri cows (1608.4 ±83 days) reported by Ravi et al (2018). Similar results were also observed in Kankrej cows (1376 ±14.55 days) reported by Pareek et al (2016).…”

“…In summer least square means was found to be lowest as compared to winter and spring which may be due to availability of better feeds in this season (Table -1). Nonsignificant effect of season of calving was reported by Nikhil et al (2014) in Gir cows, Pareek et al (2016) in Kankrej cows and Ravi et al (2018) in Gangatiri cows. Sivamani et al (2013) and Dahiya et al (2003) were also reported the non-significant effect in Sahiwal cattle and Crossbred cattle respectively.…”

The data on age at first calving for 539 records of crossbred cows of differentfilial/genetic groups were considered for the present investigation. These crossbreds belonged to eightfilial/genetic groups (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7 and F8) maintained at Livestock Experiment StationQadirabad District Sahiwal from 1991 to 2014 (24 years). The duration of 24 year was divided into 6periods (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and P6) of four years each. Each year was further divided into threeseasons as winter (November-February), summer (March- June) and spring (July-October) on the basisof geo-climatic conditions prevailing in the region. The overall population mean of age at first calvingwas determined 1261.88±9.934 days. The analysis of variance revealed significant effect of period ofcalving on age at first calving. The finding of this study shows that age at first calving was subjected tonon-genetic factor. Effect of season of calving on age at first calving was non- significant whichindicate breed characteristic to adaptation with environment. Meanwhile effect of filial/genetic groupwas significant on age at first calving. Therefore, from the result of this investigation it can bedetermined that improving the feeding, health and other husbandry practices are essential to enhancethe performance trait of this herd.

“…The lactation length was reported to be ranged from 200 to 360 days and the average lactation length was 283.6±1.10 days. Almost similar lactation length than the present study was reported by Pareek et al (2016) [13] in Kankrej cattle and Gahlot et al (2001) [7] in Tharparkar cattle. The lactation milk yield ranged from 800 to 2900 kg and the average lactation milk yield was 1755.40±13.42 kg.…”

To planning any breed improvement programme for dairy cattle it is pre-requisite to know the production and reproduction performance of that breed in detail. Sanchori cattle of Rajasthan have been recently registered by the ICAR-NBAGR. Data available on production and reproduction performance of this breed are scanty so present study was conducted on this breed. Survey for the present study was conducted in three districts of the Rajasthan state i.e. Jalore, Sirohi and Barmer. A total of 152 farmers, 158 gaushalas from 34 blocks were interviewed to record information on dairy performance traits using structured questionnaire. Fat and SNF% were recorded manually from randomly collected 566 Sanchori cattle milk samples using milk analyzer. First lactation daily milk yield, peak milk yield, lactation milk yield, lactation length, fat% and SNF% were reported as 6.07±0.56 kg, 11.36±0.35 kg, 262.85±3.54 days, 1521.42±53.68 kg, 4.04±0.10% and 9.20±0.05%, respectively. Overall lactation daily milk yield, peak milk yield, lactation milk yield, lactation length, fat% and SNF% were reported as 5.93±0.11 kg, 11.81±0.09 kg, 283.61±1.10 days, 1755.41±13.42 kg, 4.07±0.02% and 9.07±0.01%, respectively. Reproductive performance traits i.e. age at first oestrus, oestrous cycle duration, oestrus duration, age at first mating, age at first calving, service period and calving interval were reported as 37.40±0.2 months, 21.09±0.01 days, 24.45±0.06 hrs, 42.58±0.24 months, 52.02±0.24 months, 118.35±0.88 days and 14.13±0.03 months, respectively.
