Milking temperament influence on production performance and plasma hormones in Sahiwal cows

Present study was conducted to explore the effect of milking temperament on milking attributes like milk let down time, milking time, milk flow rate, milk yield, composition in relation to plasma cortisol level and reproductive performance in Sahiwal cows. The experiment was carried out on 88 lactating healthy Sahiwal cows in hot- humid (38) and winter (58) season. The milking temperament was scored and the cows were grouped as docile and restless.
