Abstract
Aim:
To estimate individual test day variability in yield and
composition of Surti and Mehsani buffaloes milk at day 15 and 60
postpartum (pp).
Materials and Methods:
A total of 13 normally calved Surti and Mehsani buffaloes each
maintained at Livestock Research Stations of Navsari and
Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural Universities,
respectively, were selected for the study. Milk sample was
collected from each selected buffalo at day 15 and 60 pp to
study milk yield and composition variability between these two
breeds. Buffaloes were categorized for the ease of data analysis
and comparisons into four groups, viz., S15 (Surti buffaloes
15th day pp), S60 (Surti buffaloes 60th day pp), M15 (Mehsani
buffaloes 15th day pp), and M60 (Mehsani buffaloes 60th day pp).
Results:
There were 37.20% and 25.03% significant (p≤0.05) increase in
mean test day milk yield (TDMY) of S60 and M60 as compared to
S15 and M15 groups, respectively. The mean TDMY of Mehsani
buffalo was 99.19% and 81.53% significantly (p≤0.05) higher than
Surti buffaloes at day 15 and 60 pp, respectively. The mean fat
and protein corrected test day milk yield (FPCTDMY) of all the
groups was found to be significantly different (p≤0.05) from
each other. There was significant (p≤0.05) increase of 1.94 and
3.45 kg in mean FPCTDMY with the progression of lactation
between day 15 and 60 pp in Surti and Mehsani buffaloes,
respectively. Similarly, the mean FPCTDMY of Mehsani buffaloes
were approximately double with 103.27% and 96.36% higher yield
as compared to Surti buffaloes at day 15 and 60 pp,
respectively. Among milk composition, significant differences
were observed for solid not fat (SNF) and protein%, whereas fat
and lactose% were steady among four groups. The only significant
(p≤0.05) difference was observed for SNF in M60 group, which was
8.29%, 6.85%, and 10.70% higher as compared to S15, S60, and M15
groups, respectively. The mean protein% in milk of Mehsani
buffaloes was 21.01% and 33.05% significantly (p≤0.05) higher
than Surti buffaloes milk at day 15 and 60 pp, respectively.
However, there was a significant difference in protein% observed
with the advancement of lactation in Mehsani buffaloes, but it
was not so in the case of Surti buffaloes.
Conclusion:
Major consistent finding of the present study reveals that milk
yield and protein% of Mehsani buffalo was significantly higher
than Surti buffalo at day 15 and 60 pp.
Keywords:
