The traits such as for milk production, fat percentage, solids not fat, total solid, protein and casein percentage was studied. Moreover the study showed that the cost difference between raw milk and various milk products. Crossbred cattle produced comparatively more milk than Deshi cattle. But the fat percentage of Deshi cattle was significantly higher than crossbred cattle. The fat percentage and solids not fat were significantly differed of Deshi with cross (4.5 vs. 3.8, and 8.3 vs 7.7) for Deshi and crossbred cattle, respectively. There were no significant differences found between protein and casein percentage (3.2± 0.1 vs. 3 ± .01, and 1.2± .01 vs. 1 ± 0.1) for deshi and crossbred cattle respectively.
