“…However, Kamboj et al, (2007) reported that funnel shaped teats were 48.27 % in Karan-Fries cows. Similar findings are also confirmed by Patel et al, (2018) and Danish et al, (2018) In conclusion, Bowl shaped udders were the predominant shape in Deoni cattle and other cattle breeds. Pendulous udders were more common in fourth and fifth parities, which could be explained by the loosening of udder ligaments with age.…”

The aggregate udder shape (Bowl, Round, Cup), udder measurements (udder width, UW, udder front depth, UFD, udder rear depth, URD, udder levelness, ULV, udder heights, UH) and teat measurements (teat diameters, TD, front teat length, FTL, rear teat length, RTL, distance between front teats, DFT and distance between rear teats, DRT) were measured on 1300 Friesian cows located in a commercial farm under subtropical conditions (Egypt) to appraise udder and teats status and to evaluate the possible relationships with some milk production characteristics in conjunction with udder shape, age at first calving, sire and inbreeding effects on udder morphological traits and milk production ability. For such an available sample size, parity had affected (P < 0.01) UFD, TD, FTL and RTL. In addition, udder shape affected (P < 0.01) UW, UFD, URD, ULV and DFT. None of the other studied factors affected milk production traits. The bowl udder shape (P < 0.01) yielded a high total milk yield (3267.19 kg), adjusted milk yield (2443.01 kg) and lactation length (480.70 d) compared to other udder shapes. The genetic correlations of UW with total milk yield and persistency were strongly positive (0.86 and 0.93, respectively). However, strong negative genetic correlations were found between UW with peak milk yield and lactation length (− 0.92 and − 0.80, respectively), between RTL with peak milk yield (− 0.92) and DRT with persistency (− 0.79). As found from the stepwise multiple regression, UW and URD can be used as good indicators for predicting milk yield and lactation length. Additionally, this study spotlights the genetic background of udder characteristics based on reliable studies and the QTL database for cattle as a first step toward applying this knowledge side by side with phenotypic traits to improve the productivity of the Holstein breed under subtropical conditions.

“…Report suggesting significant effect of parity on the LU and WU was made by Prajapati [11] in Kankrej cows and Modh et al [15] in Gir cows. Singh et al [13] in Vrindavani cows and Patel et al [19] in crossbred cows opined that parity was a significant source of variation in DU. However, non-significant effect of parity on TeL and TeD was reported by Kayastha [9] in Assam local cattle.…”

The study was undertaken to estimate the effect non-genetic factors on the udder biometry of indigenous cattle of Arunachal Pradesh. A total of 158 indigenous cows were utilized to study the effect of location and lactation order on udder characteristics. Length of udder (LU), width of udder (WU), depth of udder (DU), teat length (TeL) and teat diameter (TeD) were included in the present investigation. The data on udder measurement were classified according to location and lactation order of the animal. The means for LU, WU, DU, TeL and TeD were 30.940 ± 0.105, 21.506 ± 0.069, 9.923 ± 0.037, 4.459 ± 0.024, and 2.762 ± 0.025 cm respectively. Location and lactation order had significant effect on all the udder measurement traits. Existence of significant effect of this non-genetic factor indicates that these factors should be taken care of while estimating the genetic parameters for udder characteristics of indigenous cattle of Arunachal Pradesh.
