The research conducted on Swiss cows imported to Uzbekistan revealed significant differences in udder shape and milk production among different groups. In group I, comprising 6 cows (50%), a pelvic udder shape was predominant, while in group II, 10 cows (83.33%) had a cup-shaped udder. Interestingly, there were no cows with pelvic udders in group III, with 8 cows (66.67%) having cup-shaped udders and 4 cows (33.33%) having round udders. Milk production data showed notable variations between cows with different udder shapes. In group I, cows with pelvic udders produced 449.7 kg of milk during lactation, with a milk fat yield of 22 kg and a milk protein yield of 19.2 kg. Comparatively, cows with pelvic udders in group II produced 513.9 kg of milk with 4% fat yield and a milk fat yield of 98.1 kg. Notably, cows in group I produced 1300.4 kg of milk, which is 40.6% of the standard requirements of the Swiss breed, while cows in group II produced 850.7 kg, equivalent to 26.6% of the standard requirements. These findings suggest a strong correlation between udder shape and milk production efficiency in Swiss cows.
