Milk yield prediction at late lactation in reproductive rabbit does
Separating kits and mother to determine milk yield at 4th wk of lactation (MY4) could have negative consequences on the training and development of young rabbits. In this work, a total of 313 lactation curves (28 d long), taken from 2 different trials, were used to fit regression models to estimate MY4. In both trials, females were subjected to a semi-intensive reproductive rhythm [insemination...
متن کاملShort communication: Projecting milk yield using best prediction and the MilkBot lactation model.
The accuracy and precision of 3 lactation models was estimated by summarizing means and variability in projection error for next-test milk and actual 305-d milk yield (M305) for 50-d intervals in a large Dairy Herd Improvement Association data set. Lactations were grouped by breed (Holstein, Jersey, and crossbred) and parity (first vs. later). A smaller, single-herd data set with both Dairy Her...
متن کاملSow Lactation: Colostrum and Milk Yield: a Review
This article is a review of the factors that influence the sow’s colostrums and milk yield. Colostrum is secreted from the udder immediately after farrowing and is a rich source of highly digestible nutrients, which are critical to the survival of the newly born piglet. Colostrum contains natural growth factors for the normal development of vital life-sustaining organs. The litter performance b...
متن کاملEvaluation of Various Approaches in Prediction of Daily and Lactation Yields of Milk and Fat Using Statistical Models in Iranian Primiparous Holstein Dairy Cows
In this research, 272977 test day records collected from 659 herds during years 2001 to 2011 by the Iranian animal breeding center were used. In the first section the ability of different models to predict daily milk yield from alternative milk recording was tested. The result showed that a complex model including noon milking time plus the effect of lactation curve of Ali and Schaeffer functio...
متن کاملAlternative milk recording schemes
The effect of reducing the frequency of offi cial milk recording and the number of recorded samples per test-day on the accuracy of predicting daily yield and cumulative 305-day yield was investigated. A control data set consisting of 58 210 primiparous cows with milk test-day records every 4 weeks was used to investigate the infl uence of reduced milk recording frequencies. The accuracy of pre...
