| This study was taken place in five different area from Baghdad city for buffaloes breeders aggregations through the years 2012 - 2013 and this contain the areas Al-Fadhliya , Alma’aml, Abu – Ghriub, Al- Taji and Boob Al-Sham to study the effect of region on daily milk yield. The records of 9252 Buffaloes consistence 3805 lactating buffaloes were used. These records were collected from 139 buffalo breeders randomly . The region had a highly significant effect (P < 0.01) on average daily milk yield, and Alma’aml (6.12 ± 0.09 kg ) and Abu-Ghriub (5.52 ±0.20 kg) regions were superior than other areas. The highest frequency were found in the second group of total numbers of holding size for buffalo( 11 – 20 head ) in Al-Fadhaliya and Abu – Ghriub ( 33.61 and 32.41 % ) respectively. While the first group for holding size ( 4 to 10 head ) was higher frequency in Al-Fadhliya ,Al-Taji and Boob Al-Sham in order (29.93, 32.80 and 38.76% ) respectively, and these differences were highly Significant ( P< 0.01 ), and was observed when the holding size increased for any breeder by animals they decreased their frequency . The percentage of lactating buffaloes for holding Size rate , the first. group ( less than 5 ) have highest frequent than other three groups in 5 area in this study (35.67, 34.86, 41.03, 40.06 and 46.15%) respectively . They found the Years for service in buffaloes breeding was 50 years in area Al-Fadhaliya , Abu-Ghriub and Al-Taji, but they are 42 and 40 years in Alma’mal and Boob Al-Sham respectively .So there are differences for daily milk yield within Baghdad city may be produce a good future for selection the best animals from male and female to increase the production and Improvement. | ||
