Studies of Effect of Parity and Stage of Lactation on various Body Measurements, Body Weight and their Relationship with Each Other in Frieswal Cows
Abstract:
The study was carried out at Military Dairy Farm on Eighty Frieswal cows. The cows were divided in five parities and three stages of lactation. The study on different body measurements and body weight along with the effect of parities and stages of lactation were done. Result of the study showed the significant (P<0.01) effect of parity on heart girth, height at wither, height at hook, body length and body weight. The significant (P<0.01) effect of stages of lactation was observed heart girth and body weight. The non significant effect of stages of lactation was observed on height at wither height at hook and body length. The various body measurements were found in close relationship with each other and it can be concluded that they are bounded with each other strongly.
