Records of 22 7 pure Malvi cows collected from Govt Cattle Breeding Farm, Agar were subjected to least squares analysis for estimating genetic parameters of various production and reproduction traits. The heritability estimates for various traits ranged from 0.033 to 0.140 which were of low magnitude, whereas, the repeatability estimates were higher (0.045-0. 212) than heritabilities as expected Positive genetic correlations were observed between gestation period with lactation milk yield (0.397) andbetween gestation period with dry period (0 737). Similar positive genetic correlations were observed between lactation milk yield with lactation length (0.915) and lactation milk yield with calving interval (0.726). Negative genetic correlation of high magnitude (-0.911) was found between calving interval and dry period, whereas service period and calving interval was positively correlated (0.649).
