Effects of body conformation and udder morphology on milk yield of zebu cows in North region of Cameroon

Article scientifique 2017 Anglais

Résumé

AIM: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of udder morphological characteristics on milk yield in zebu cows of Cameroon. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The diameter and height of the udder, length and diameter of the teat, and the milk yield were measured in 29 Djafun (Red Mbororo) and 19 Aku (White Fulani) cows in Louggueré zootechnical station in the North region of Cameroon. RESULTS: =0.549) with milk yield. CONCLUSION: This study ascertained udder morphological characteristics values in local zebu cows, and showed that udder size is strong and positively correlated to milk yield. The findings are useful in genetic improvement programs of zebu cows.
