Abstract:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of lactation stage on milk yield, lactation length of Attappady Black and Malabari goats. Newly kidded thirty does of Attappady Black and ten Malabari goats were selected for this study. The does were hand milked daily at 8 am prior to feeding and yield measured for each animal at weekly interval. The milk yield was maximum (P<0.01) in Malabari goats compare than Attappady Black goats. The milk yield was noticed in 2nd and 3rd weeks for Attappady Black and Malabari goats respectively. Results showed that milk yield and lactation length differed significantly (P<0.01) between the small ruminant breeds. Malabari goats had relatively higher milk yield and lactation length than Attappady Black goats.
