Physiological Constraints to Milk Production: Factors Which Determine Nutrient Partitioning, Lactation Persistency and Mobilization of Body
On a short-term basis, the efficiency of nutrient use for milk production is primarily dependent on the milk production level. As milk yield increases, a lower proportion of total feed intake is used for maintenance (a non-productive requirement that is more or less constant) of the cow. A cow producing 12 kg/d of milk is using about 50% of available nutrients for milk synthesis, whereas the co...
متن کاملExtended lactation in dairy cows: effects of milking frequency, calving season and nutrition on lactation persistency and milk quality.
Twelve spring-calving and twelve winter-calving cows were managed for extended lactation cycles of 18-months duration, with the former group then completing a second extended lactation. Half of the cows were fed according to standard management practice for the herd; the other half received supplementary concentrate from week 9 of lactation onwards. Commencing at the same time, half of the udde...
متن کاملGenetic Parameters for Milk Yield and Lactation Persistency Using Random Regression Models in Girolando Cattle
A total of 32,817 test-day milk yield (TDMY) records of the first lactation of 4,056 Girolando cows daughters of 276 sires, collected from 118 herds between 2000 and 2011 were utilized to estimate the genetic parameters for TDMY via random regression models (RRM) using Legendre's polynomial functions whose orders varied from 3 to 5. In addition, nine measures of persistency in milk yield (PSi) ...
متن کاملPersistency for higher-order pseudo-boolean maximization
A pseudo-Boolean function is a function from a 0/1-vector to the reals. Minimizing pseudo-Boolean functions is a very general problem with many applications. In image analysis, the problem arises in segmentation or as a subroutine in task like stero estimation and image denoising. Recent years have seen an increased interest in higher-degree problems, as opposed to quadratic pseudo-Boolean func...
متن کاملEffects of replacing soybean meal with canola meal and decreasing crude protein on milk production and nutrient utilization of dairy cows in early lactation
This study investigated the effects of replacing soybean meal (SM) with canola meal (CM) and decreasing crude protein (CP) levels in CM based diets on performance of dairy cows when different sources of processed grains and CM were used. Canola meal was untreated or roasted at 130°C for 30 minutes and grains sources (corn and barley) were either ground or steamed-flaked. Eight Holstein cows (...
