This study was undertaken to find out the milk fat production trend both in qualitative and quantitative aspect and seasonal effect on it at Sree-Nagor Milk Shed Area (MSA) under Milk Vita in Munshigonj, Bangladesh. The experiment was conducted during the period of 1995 to 1999. Season had the tremendous effect on milk yield (l/d). The milk production showed highest in the month of June, lowest in January, August, September and December; but in other months of the year it seemed almost similar. However, the average fat value of milk at Sree-Nagor MSA followed almost a specific trend throughout the year. Furthermore, the average fat value of Sree-nagor MSA was in-significant (P>0.05) between different months of the experimental period, but that of each year (1995-1999) between different months were highly significant (P<0.01), which means that season has large effect on fat value.
