Evaluation of production performance of Binjharpuri cattle of Odisha

Binjharpuri, a dual purpose indigenous breed of Odisha is commonly reared for its various advantages, viz. optimum milk production in low input management system, excellent draft ability hot humid climate condition and heat resistance ability. In the present study, attempt was made to evaluate performance along with influence non- genetic effects such as location, lactation order season calving on traits binjharpuri cattle. The overall average least square means standard error yield, daily peak length dry period were found be 974.490±6.788 kg, 3.557±0.023 4.633±0.021 274.444±1.249 days 121.913±0.611 days, respectively. Location had highly significant effect period, whereas non-significant yield. Lactation too considered under study. Season yield; yield period. Significant non-genetic factors variations study suggestive that remarkable improvement Binjharpuri cattle populace can targeted through better by nurturing effective breeding strategies.
