Abstract

The milk production of Anglo-Nubian, Barbari and Barbari 횞 Black Bengal goats were compared. The respective average lactation yield of those genotypes were 171.27 16.90, 88.22 8.67 and 52.31 13.51 kg; mean annual milk yield 208.41 24.57, 117.13 12.44 and 84.19 23.45 kg; per day milk yield 0.82 0.07, 0.61 0.05 and 0.43 0.06 kg and lactation length 207.67 7.36, 143.89 6.67 and 116.75 13.86 days. All traits recorded were influenced significantly (p<0.01) by the genetic group. Introduction of Barbari genes to Black Bengal goats had a positive effect in improving milk yield.
