Material type: BookPublisher: 2007Subject(s): Department of Livestock ProductionDDC classification: 0980,T Dissertation note: The basic aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of tactile stimulation in combination with concentrate feeding on milking performance in Nili-Ravi buffaloes during machine milking. Eighteen Nili-Ravi buffaloes ranging from early to late lactation stage were subjected to six pre-milking stimulation practices including no-stimulation and manual stimulation of 1 and 2 minutes with and without in-parlou concentrate feeding. Each treatment was given for eight successive milkings. The information about milking characteristics including milk ejection time, machine on time, total milking time, average milk flow rate and milk yield was recorded in each experimental milking. The data obtained were analyzed with Harvey statistical package with a model including effects of treatment, effect of lactation stage, interactions of lactation stage and treatment and fixed effect of animals. The statistical analysis indicated that the manual stimulation of one minute duration alongwith concentrate feeding during milking produced best results in term of shorter milk ejection time, shorter machine on time and higher average milk flow rate. Milk yield and duration of machine strippings were not influenced significantly by the treatments-however the treatment 4 in which no manual stimulation and no in-parlour feeding was done significantly deteriorate each milking variable.Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
