COMPARISON OF MILK-YIELD BETWEEN BRAUNVIEH BREED IMPORTED FROM BAVARIA AND SLOVAK BREEDS

The target of this paper was to compare milk performance of imported B raunvieh cows with the contemporaries of Slovakian dual purpose breeds - Slovakian Pied cattle (with genetic share of Red Holstein < 50%) an d Pinzgau. The least square means method was used for data analysis. T he differences in milk production between Braunvieh and Slovakian Pied cattle were not statistically significant. The cows of Braunvieh catt le achieved higher fat and lactose percentage (fat 4.52% and 3.99%, la ctose 4.74% and 4.62%). These differences were statistically highly si gnificant (P < 0.01). The Braunvieh cows achieved higher milk producti on than Pinzgau contemporaries, with higher fat and lactose percentage in milk.
