Abstract

The mean vertical load on the neck ofMalvi breed bullocks were higher at the middle planes of Nagpuri and local yoke and decreased towards the left and right side of the neck. The mean loads on the neck of bullocks on contact surface of Nagpuri yoke were significantly less in comparison to local yoke. Thus, the Nagpuri yoke is more efficient and comfortable. The mean vertical loads on the neck ofbullocks at different contact points on the surface of top, left and right side pads ofAllahabad 3-padded collar double animal harness increased as the draught load increased and it was higher on the contact surface of top pad. On the left and right side pads the mean loads were significantly higher at one point than the other points. Therefore, both the side pads require design improvement for evenly distribution of load.
