Abstract
Survey was conducted in Mainahiya Village Development Committee, HarnaiyaVillage Development Committee, TilottamaMunicipality and Devdaha Municipality of Rupandehi district in the year April 2015 in order to study the milk yield and milk parameters in Jersey and Holstein cattle. Total sampling household were 13 and sampling size was 158. The primary data were collected through structure questionnaire and collected information were tabulated in Microsoft excel and SPSS version 16. Different statistical analyses were performed by SPSS version 16 and Mini Tab. Result showed that average milk yield of Holstein10.504±0.620ltr, fat 3.995±0.308%, protein 3.241±0.087% and SNF 8.830±0.208%. The average milk yield of Jersey 8.594±0.631, fat 4.476±0.314, protein 3.400±0.088 and SNF 9.016±0.212 were found. Milk yield was significantly(p<0.01) higher in Holstein breed than jersey and milk yield was significantly (p<0.01) higher in 4thlactation.Experiment showed the insignificant (p>0.01)negative correlation between milk yield and fat(r=-0.120),milk yield and protein (r=-0.49)and milk yield and SNF (r=-0.53)but significant(p<0.01)and positive correlation between fat and protein(r=0.485),fat and SNF(r=0.501) and protein and SNF(r=0.778).
