Abstract
Cows milk plays a key role in livestock systems and in human nutrition. The study consisted of determining the milk productivity of twenty-two (22) cows subjected to artificial insemination for the purpose of genetic improvement of milk. The methodology used is the measurement of milk per day per cow as of the second week of delivery at a frequency of ten (10) days during six (06) months. The results of this study yielded an average milk productivity of 0.7 ± 0.1 liters over the six (06) months of collection. No significant difference (p> 0.05) in milk productivity was observed in relation to the group of cattle studied, the site of establishment of the farms and the lactation rank. In conclusion, this research will serve as a basis for assessing the milk productivity of Metis resulting from artificial insemination.
