Analysis of Test Day Milk Yield by Random Regression Models and Evaluation of Persistency in Iranian Dairy Cows
Variace / covariance components of 227118 first lactaiom test-day milk yield records belonged to 31258 Iranian Holstein cows were estimated using nine random regression models. Afterwards, different measures of persistency based on estimation breeding value were evaluated. Three functions were used to adjust fixed lactation curve: Ali and Schaeffer (AS), quadratic (LE3) and cubic (LE4) order of...
متن کاملFactors affecting milk cortisol in mid lactating dairy cows
BACKGROUND Whether the measurement of cortisol in dairy cows can be used as a biomarker of adverse environmental or pathophysiological conditions is still under of scientific debate. In these situations, several systems mainly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the autonomic nervous system, and the immune system are recruited to reestablish homeostasis. A first aim of the present study wa...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Feed Efficiency of Dairy Cows
Feed efficiency (FE) is a concept that has gained popularity in recent years in the dairy industry. Monitoring FE is becoming a more common benchmark for monitoring the profitability of milk production relative to dry matter (DM) intake. In today’s markets, feeds and commodities are becoming more costly, which is driving the requirement for more efficient utilization to maintain profitability. ...
متن کاملRisk factors affecting the culling of Iranian Holstein dairy cows
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the association between risk factors and the risk of culling in Iranian Holstein cows. The data consisted of 329,772 lactation records obtained from the Animal Breeding Center of Iran (2003 - 2012) and logistic regression was applied to investigate the associations between the predictor and response variables. The response variable in this experiment wa...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Yield and Composition of Milk
The variation in composition and daily yield of milk is a regular phenomenon in all milking animals. Broadly, the factors which are responsible for such variations can be divided into (1) Physiological, which will be governed by the genetical make up and (2) Environmental, such as age, number of previous lactations, pregnancy, nutrition status, etc. The dairyman has hardly got any control over ...
