Abstract

In the present study, data on milk production in part lactation of 140 days Milk Yield (MY 140 D), Total Lactation Milk Yield (TLMY), Total Lactation Length (TLL), Peak Milk Yield (PMY) and Average Daily Milk Yield (ADMY) of 304 sirohi goats maintained at AICRP on sirohi field unit at Livestock Research Station, Vallbhnagar, Udiapur (Raj.) were use for the study. The least square means of milk yield at 140 days, total lactation milk yield, total lactation length, peak milk yield and average daily milk yield were 56.34 ± 2.93 lit., 59.42 ± 2.18 lit., 163.28 ± 3.53 days, 562 ± 0.28 ml and 362.40 ± 15.91 ml, respectively. The effects due to year of kidding were found to be significant on TLMY and TLL, while the except lactation length all the traits under study have not effected by season of kidding.
