Effect of Cooling Treatments on Milk Production and Behaviour of Buffalo
 
Description The present study was undertaken with objective to study the
environment in and around buffalo shed. Data collected from Institutional
cattle breeding farm, Nagpur Veterinary College, Nagpur. Eighteen normal
lactating buffalos female were under study. These buffaloes were divided into
three homogenous groups of six buffalo in each. One group was control and
other two group provided with fogger and sprinkler. The observation daily at
morning, afternoon and evening for physiological response (respiration rate,
pulse rate, rectal temperature) and morning evening two for milk yield and
three for meteorological (ambient temperature, relative humidity and wind
velocity) was recorded. Mean values for pooled ambient temperature for outer
maximum and minimum are (38.21±0.63) and (35.29±0.89), for inner max &
min (36.13±0.58) and (34.92±0.55), for relative humidity (RH) outer and inner
(25.63±1.60) and (28.46±2.01), for wind velocity (WV) outer & inner
(1.42±0.13) and (0.64±0.31), for THI outer and inner (80.09±0.29) and
(81.11±0.25). Due to shelter by shed 2.06 0C lower ambient temperature
maximum 0.370C lower ambient temperature minimum 2.8 higher relative
humidity, 0.76 lower wind velocity and 1.98 lower THI inside the shed
was recorded. It is also observed that afternoon ambient temperature
43.51±0.84 (outer) and 39.81±0.63 (inner) was more than evening
35.64±0.42 (outer) and (34.47±0.45). The highest ambient temperature in T1
(35.09±0.64) than To (34.89±0.49) and T2 (34.99±0.45), the lowest relative
humidity in T1 (26.86±1.67) than To (27.81±1.75) and T2 (30.63±1.99), the
highest wind velocity in T1 (0.94±0.09) than To (0.74±0.09) and T2
(0.24±0.03), the highest temperature humidity index in T2 (84.13±0.56) than
T1 (81.12±0.56) and To (78.09±0.36) was observed. The pulse rate was
higher in control (55.69±0.55) than T2 (52.97±045) and T1 (51.17±0.57)
followed by Pooled respiration rate was highest in control (26.84±0.34)
than T2 (22.67±0.50) followed T1 (21.40±0.90). The rectal temperature was
highest of control (38.25±0.09) than T2 (38.08±0.08) followed by T1
(33.76±0.04). The milk yield was highest in T1 (3.42±0.68) than To (3.72±0.07) and T2(2.82±010). The fat percent was highest in To (7.46±0.14)
than T1 (7.42±0.18) and T2 (7.05±0.110). The temperament score was
highest in control (1.12±0.01), T1 (0.09±0.01) T2 (1.08±0.01). The
temperament index in T1 (3.10±0.01) was lower T2 (3.12 ± 0.01) and
(3.12±0.01). The heamoglobin was highest numerically in T1 (12.47±0.15)
than T2 (11.97±0.14) and To (11.86±0.14). The PCV was significantly highest
in T1 (22.89±0.60) than To (20.61±0.30) and T2 (20.56±0.26). The WBC was
significantly highest in T1 (13.69±0.42) than T2 (13.31±0.40) and To
(11.75±0.75). ). The pooled RBC was significantly highest in T1
(19..30±0.06 ) than T2 (16.25±0.28) and control (11..53±0.39). Based on
result it is concluded that the cooling treatment beneficial to milking buffalo.
