In order to understand the characteristics of lactation performance of dairy cattle in Xizang, the daily milk yield (dMY), fat percentage (FP), protein percentage (PP), fat-to-protein ratio (FPR), lactose percentage (LP), milk urea nitrogen content (MUN) and somatic cell score (SCS), derived from the dairy herd improvement records of three farms in Xizang for 10 consecutive months, were used in descriptive statistics and factors analysis, as well as lactation curve fitting using Wood's model. The results showed that: 1)The average dMY was 15.29 kg, FP was 4.29%, PP was 3.66%, LP was 5.06%, and MUN was 13.19 mg/dL in Xizang. 2)The influence of the farms and lactation stages on all lactation performance was significant (P<0.05), and the regression of dMY, FP, PP, FPR, and MUN on environmental temperature was significant (P<0.05). There was also a significant regression(P<0.05)between dMY, FP, FPR, and MUN on square of environmental temperature. The regression of the adjusted daily milk production, milk fat percentage, and milk protein percentage on the proportion of Holstein bloodline were significant (P<0.05). 3)The lactation curves of dairy cows in Xizang was characterized by late peak days, low peak day milk yield and poor sustainability. To sum up, the lactation performance of dairy cows in Xizang is generally low, and the increase in the proportion of Holstein's blood will improve the lactation performance of dairy cows. This study provides theoretical support for the development of Xizang's dairy husbandry.
