The present study entitled “Studies on morphological characteristics and productive performance of Red Kandhari cattle in Pathri tehsil of Parbhani district” was conducted by selecting 50 cattle of different age groups i.e., upto 1 year, 1 to 2 year, 2 to 3 year and above 3 years age groups and recorded with the mean value. The cattle were mostly found with bowl shaped udder, cylindrical shaped teats and small size of milk vein. The lactational milk yield of Red Kandhari cattle was found to be 534.7±6.97 kg, average lactation period was of 252.68±1.52days and average milk yield per day was 2.74±0.08 kg. The milk production performance of Red Kandhari cattle is fair, hence, it can be considered as the draught breed of cattle and by adopting better management and nutrition practices its production can be increased.
