Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate feed conversion efficiency in early lactating Kankrej cattle at Livestock Research station, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar. The variables such as average dry matter intake, milk yield and milk composition were evaluated in forty nine lactating Kankrej cows over the period of 30 days. The mean dry matter intake was 9.71±0.08 kg/d. The average milk yield and energy corrected milk were 12.45±0.35 and 14.27±0.47 kg/d, respectively. Feed conversion efficiency was 1.48±0.05 in Kankrej cows.
