<strong>MILK</strong> <strong>PRODUCTION</strong><br />

of DCC in measuring milk SCC in buffaloes was evaluated each at quarter, udder, and bulk tank level by precision characteristics<br />

repeatability r and reproducibility R. The statistical analysis for biochemical composition of milk vis-à-vis SCC<br />

was conducted using one-way analyses of variance. Pearson’s correlation coefficient quantified the relationship between<br />

DCC and CMT. The significance of the observed variance in r and R studies of DCC was analyzed by one-sided Chi-Square<br />

tests using ÷ 2 = (n-1)*s2 r /ó 2 2 Where óo is the expected value of the variance of normalized differences; 1 in present case.<br />

o<br />

The s 2<br />

r<br />

is the observed variance and n-1 degrees of freedom. The normalized difference in two DCC measurements was taken<br />

as the observed difference divided by the expected error of the Poisson error in addition to an error contribution of 6%<br />

in r and 8% in R.<br />

Results and Discussion<br />

The mean values of various biochemical components of milk in buffaloes at BTM level were found as; SCC: 323 ×10 3 cells/<br />

ml; EC: 3.58 mS/cm, pH: 6.87, fat 8.17%, total protein: 2.90%, lactose: 4.61% and SNF: 8.94%. A significant alteration<br />
