Abstract
This study aims to provide reference values of some of milk parameters and somatic cell count of Badri cows as well their comparison with Sahiwal and crossbred counterparts. Lower milk SCC in Badri cattle reflects their resistance to mastitis. Further, the use of milk SCC as a management tool on a routine basis will help to maximize immunity and improve quality and quantity of milk as well as cattle’s comfort and welfare. In India, higher milk production was never the reason for reversing Zebu/indigenous germplasmas quality of milk has been the talk of folklore. The data generated provides only meagre baseline information on comparison studies on milk composition of Badri, Sahiwal and crossbred cattle. Additional studies are required to substantiate the results.
期刊介绍:
Articles published in The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences encompass a broad range of research topics in animal health and production related to cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, camel, equines, pig, rabbit, yak, mithun, poultry and fisheries. Studies involving wildlife species and laboratory animal species that address fundamental questions about their biology will also be considered for publication. All manuscripts must present some new development and must be original, timely, significant and scientifically excellent. Papers will be rejected if standards of care of, or procedures performed on animals are not up to those expected of humane veterinary scientists. At a minimum, standards must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research involving Animals, as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences. (C.I.O.M.S., c/o WHO, CH 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland). Articles reporting new animal disease must follow GOI directive as given in detail in Guidelines to Authors.
