Abstract:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of season on test day milk yield and major milk components in lactating Gir cows. The effect of season was significant (p<0.01) on milk fat, SNF, protein, lactose, total solids and test day milk yield. The highest milk fat, SNF, protein, lactose, and total solids were recorded in summer high as compare to winter and rainy season. A lower value of test day milk yield was reported in summer as compare to winter and rainy season.
