Effect of Two Systems of Management on Milk Yield and Body Temperature of Dairy Cattle

Abstract

IN the winter season in Egypt, cattle are either kept indoors and provided with barseem (Trifolium alexandrinum), or taken to the fields and fed with the same ration for a period of about ten hours during the day. The experiment described here was carried out at the University Experimental Farm, Alexandria, in order to study the effect of the two systems of management on milk-yield and body-temperature of dairy animals.
