Fat content
Milk analysis regarding fat contents from all zones showed significant variation in different seasons and zones. The highest fat content (5.4%) was observed in February and lowest (4.6% and 4.3%) was recorded in June and July (Fig. 1). While, the fat content was significantly decreased in February to July all zones under studies. However, the milk from zone C contained comparatively higher fat content than other two zones. The relatively lower decrease in fat percentage of zone C might be due to the tendency of concentrate feeding in this region. The decrease in fat content is more pronounced from late June to early August. The difference in fat contents from zones may be due to the ratio of cow and buffalo milk, change in the trend of concentrate feeding, difference in the lactation stages of lactating animals.
