\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
A study was carried out to evaluate the milk production of Borgou F1 crosses with Gir (BG), Girolando (BGH) and Holstein (BH) at the ranch of Okpara, northern Benin.  Analysis of variance based on General Linear Model of SAS 2010 was used to analyse the data. The genetic group of cows (BG, BGH and BH) influenced ($p < 0.05$) lactation milk yield (1738 vs. 1200 vs. \mbox{1320\,kg}) and peak milk yield (8.0 vs. 5.4 vs. \mbox{5.9\,kg}) for BG, BGH and BH respective. As against the genetic group had no effect ($p > 0.05$) on the lactation length. The lactation number impacted ($p < 0.05$) lactation milk yield (1208 vs. 1252 vs. 1949 vs. \mbox{2028\,kg}), peak milk yield (5.6 vs 6.1 vs 8.1 vs 8 \mbox{0\,kg}) and the lactation length (259 vs. 281 vs. 298 vs. 305 days) for lactation numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The effect of calving season was significant ($p < 0.05$) and the rainy season had fostered a better lactation milk yield (1798 vs. \mbox{1040\,kg}), a higher peak milk yield (7.6 vs. \mbox{5.1\,kg}) and a longer lactation length (292 vs. 269 days) relative to the dry season. The year of calving had a significant effect ($p < 0.05$) on lactation milk yield (1023 vs. 995 vs. 1476 vs. \mbox{1759\,kg}), peak milk yield (5.1 vs. 4.8 vs. 6.6 vs. \mbox{6.9\,kg}) and the lactation length (258 vs. 281 vs. 291 vs. 297 days) for the years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively. This study showed that BG crosses had higher milk production through better adaptation to environmental conditions.}
