Milk fat content stands out as a crucial production trait in cows, and this study delves into its variability based on various factors. The
research investigated how the housing method (large farm or individual producers), origin (domestic-rearing or imported cows), and
calving season collectively impact this trait. Cows reared on the farm exhibited a higher milk fat content compared to those raised by
individual producers. Additionally, primiparous cows from domestic rearing displayed lower milk fat content than their counterparts
of imported origin. Among primiparous cows on the farm, those calving in the summer and autumn produced the highest milk fat
content. Conversely, primiparous cows calving in the spring season and raised by individual producers recorded the lowest milk fat
content. The statistical analysis revealed a highly significant influence of calving season, with a noteworthy interaction among housing
method and origin on the observed trait. The significance rang...ed from statistically highly significant (P ≤ 0.01) to statistically very
highly significant (P ≤ 0.001).
