A report on Production Performance of 50%HF ×50%Sahiwal Genotype in some selected commercial dairy farm in Chattogram

Abstract

The study was done to find out the milk production performance of different genetic groups of crossbred cows at different farming condition in Chattogram,Bangladesh .The data were collected from some selected dairy farms of Chattogram area. On the basis of farm size six farms were selected and then only milching cows are selected by their specific blood percentage and that is 50%H.F. × 50%Sahiwal. The data were collected by questioner and the main focus given on milk yield, lactation yield, and lactation length.The study period was 5 months and then these data were input into MS-excel and then analyzed into STATA software. The result says that the average milk production of the selected cows which has genotype 50%H.F. ×50%Sahiwal is 13.01. litre milk per day, which minimum level is 10 litre and maximum level is 16 litre.. Then, secondly the average lactation length is 221 days and average milk yield per lactation is 2890.The dairy farmers of Chattogram wants to make cows dry earlier because they observe that they get more milk by this method. The highest daily milk yield (DMY) was found in those farms having good management practice, modern rearing system, supply of proper nutrition, trained and skilled farm owner.
