The data on production performance of Phule Triveni cattle maintained at Research cum Development Project on Cattle (RCDP), Mahatma PhuleKrishiVidyapeeth, Rahuri district, Ahmednagar, (M.H) were utilized for present study. The least squares means of total milk yield (kg), lactation length (days), dry period (days) and peak milk yield (kg) were estimated by considering the effects of period of calving, season of calving and lactation order as non-genetic factors. Then data were corrected for significant non genetic factor effect and effect of THI was estimated. The frequency distribution patterns for MMY according to THI were worked out. The overall least squares means for TMY, LL, DP and PMY are 2612.88 ± 75.48 kg, 306.43 ± 5.51 days, 144.12 ± 11.38 days and 14.87 ± 0.30kg, respectively in PhuleTriveni cattle. The THI had significant influence on production traits TMY, LL, PMY, indicating that the Phule Triveni cows were acclimitised to the local climate due to optimum feeding with sound management are provided. However, the THI had non-significant influence on trait DP. The overall observations reveals the result that THI3 is the most suitable model of THI for PhuleTriveni cattle.
