Abstract:
The main objective of the study was investigation of effect milking system on the on Milk yield, milk Compositions, Milking behavioral traits and somatic cell count .The present investigation was conducted on Bhestan farm (NGO), Surat with 12 HF Crossbred cows which were divided into two groups i.e., Hand milking vs. machine milking cows of six animals. Research was conducted on. Persual data revealed that milk fat% was significantly (p<0.05) higher in hand milked was (2.94 ± 0.12%) as compared to machine milked cows (2.56 ± 0.06%). Milk let down time was significantly (p<0.05) higher in hand milked was (41.25 ± 0.60 sec.) as compared to machine milked cows (33.25 ± 1.63 sec.).Total milking time was significantly (p<0.05) higher in hand milked was (5.51 ± 0.07 min.) as compared to machine milked cows (1.55 ± 0.05 min.). Milk flow rate was significantly (p<0.05) higher in machine milked was (1.23 ± 0.02 kg./min) as compared to hand milked cows (0.74 ± 0.02 kg./min).The mean value of SCC was higher in hand milked was (1.72 ± 0.11 lakhs/ml) as compared to machine milked cows (1.55 ± 0.05 lakhs/ml).finding of result suggest bellow milking behavior features and udder health with machine as compared to hand milking
