Abstract:

The least-squares means (± standard error) for first-lactation traits were 2,780.17 ± 37.31 kg for 300-day milk yield (FL300DMY), 15.28 ± 0.16 kg for peak milk yield (FLPMY), and 326.77 ± 1.81 days for first-lactation length (FLL). The period of calving exerted a significant effect (p < 0.05) on FL300DMY, FLPMY, and FLL. In contrast, the season of calving and age at first calving group had no significant influence (p > 0.05) on any of the first-lactation production traits.


Keywords: Traits, Genetic, Sire, Age at first calving, Peak Milk Yield.
