Productivity of cows of the red steppe breed, considering the physique

Abstract

As a result of a comparative assessment of the qualitative indicators of milk productivity of dairy cows of the red steppe breed of the III lactation, two controlled groups of animals were selected for the study according to two body types. It was found that broad-bodied cows have higher milk yields by 5.91% compared to narrow-bodied animals. Broad-bodied cows also produce more milk fat and protein during the standard lactation period, by an average of 21.36% and 20.5%.
