Animal husbandry is the main occupation of arid zone
farmers. This region is endowed with the best milch breeds
or cattle. Tharparkar is one of the well known milch breeds
of cattle of Thar region. Tharparkar cattle are very well
adapted to desert vagaries due to their capacity to thrive on
poor quality forage and local non-conventional feed (Mathur
et al. 1989). Black pigmented skin with white coat is an ideal
combination for rendering an animal aqaptive to intensive
heat radiation of the arid zone. However, seasonal variations
in solar radiation, environment temperature, relative humidity
precipitation and the consequent differences in quality and
quantity of forage available to the livestock, influence the
animal productivity. The management variations and
physiological maturity of the animal are also some of the
important factors, which ultimately affect the productivity of
the animal. The main aim of the present investigation was to
analyse the effect of season and period of calving and parity
on productive and reproductive performance of Tharparkar
cattle in hot arid region.
