Influence of season on peak milk yield in Deoni breed of cattle in marathwada region of Maharastra state, India

Abstract

In the present investigation the sixteen years data (1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010) on daily peak milk yield of cows calved during cold, hot, south-west monsoon and post monsoon season each for twelve month in year and climatic attributes like temperature (maximum and minimum), humidity (maximum and minimum), sunshine hours and temperature humidity Index during corresponding period were collected. Daily peak milk yield data were analyzed statistically to see the effect of climatic attributes and to know their association with peak milk yield. Generally post monsoon climatic condition favours the milk production in animals due to pleasant climate and availability of quality fodder. The average daily peak milk yield of Deoni cows was 2.60 kg. It could be inferred that apart from availability of quality nutritious fodder during different seasons, maximum peak milk yield was recorded during post monsoon season followed by south-west monsoon season, cold season and hot season respectively.

Design Integrated Crop-Livestock and Fish Farming Model with LEISA System in North Minahasa Regency

“…Because the agricultural farming system combines more than one agricultural field, based on the concept of biological recycling, and input-output linkages between interrelated commodities with a low external input utilization approach carried out on the land, through the utilization of crop waste, livestock manure and fish waste for the purpose of increasing production and productivity so that there can be an increase in income and welfare of farmers in environmentally friendly agricultural system conditions. According to Thorat et al (2015), The advantages of IFS are productivity, profitability, sustainability, balanced meals, environmental safety, waste recycling, energy savings, adoption of new technologies, year-round money, availability of fodder, fuel, and wood, year-round employment, agro-industry, improving input efficiency, living standards and avoiding forest degradation. Therefore, IFS is very important to develop because it can be solution to problems in rural development where the majority of the population works in the agricultural sector.…”
