triple crossbred cows (HF (25%) x Jersey (25%) x Kankrej (50%)) and 12 Kankrej cows. The
triple crossbreds were weaned whereas Kankrej cows were unweaned. All the cows were
in second to fourth parity and in mid lactation stage a t the start of the experiment. All the
cows were hand milked twice in a day at 5.30 a.m. onwards in the morning and 5.30 p.m

August-2007 to January-2008 covering two seasons viz. hot-humid (August-September)
