Abstract
The study field was conducted to correlate milk yield with the udder dimensions of buffaloes, during lactate season 2019, a total of 72 lactating buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) were chosen randomly from Baghdad (25 female) and Al-Muthanna province (47 female) (270km south of Baghdad). Parameters such as front teat length (FTL), front teat diameter (FTD), distance between front teats (FTDIS), rear teat length (RTL), rear teat diameter (RTD), distance between rear teats (RTDIS), distance between front and rear teats (FRDIS) and daily milk Yield (DMY) were calculated. Correlation coefficients between various udder measurements (FTL, FTDIS, RTDIS and FRDIS) with DMY were positive and highly significant (P≤0.01). On the other hand FTD, RTL and RTD showed non-significant correlation with DMY. We conclude from this study that udder measurements could be taken into account in buffalo improvement programs.
