Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the effect of calving year on milk yield and milk composition traits in Holstein and Jersey cattle raised in

the Marmara and Black Sea Regions of Turkey, respectively. The data set consisted of 582 dairy cows, which were 306 Holstein raised and 276

Jersey cows calving from 2011 to 2013. Except for fat yield, test day milk yield (TDMY), 305-day milk yield (305 DMY), fat percentage, protein

percentage and protein yield of Jersey cows were affected by calving season. The effect of calving year on TDMY, 305 DMY, fat percentage, fat

yield, protein percentage and protein yield of Holstein cows were found to be statically significant. In conclusion, in 2011 to 2013, milk yield

and its composition in both Holstein and Jersey cows were significantly related to calving year.
