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...

In this study, yield-water and profit function was used to obtain water demand function in agriculture sector. The results showed that the ratio of actual to potential Evapotranspiration had positive, significant effecton the ratio of actual to potential yield for wheat and barley. Also, square ratio of actual to potential Evapotranspiration had negative, significant relationship. After estimat...

the base of this review is to consider the relevant role that animal factors (potential milk yield, body weight, body condition score, state of lactation, parity and fertility) play on milk performance (considering the energy balance and the rumen function across the full lactation curve of animals) and milk quality (milk protein content, milk fat content, milk lactose content, vitamins, minera...

to determine the effective factors on yield performance of corn, 40 corn growers were selected using two ‎stages sampling method from orzooeyeh in kerman province. data were collected by questionnaires and ‎interview. frontier production function and technical unefficiency function were estimated with front. 4 ‎software.‎ using dalinous method the selected corn growers divided to three groups a...

test day milk records of a holstein dairy farm collected during years 2004 to 2006 on 142 cows in the 1st lactation vs. 140 cows in the 2nd lactation were used in this research. there were real milk yields of cows available in each part of lactation in this farm making it possible to compare functions based on the new criteria (squared error of estimation). five functions were compared to estim...

The objectives were to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for lactation curve traits in Holstein dairy cows in Iran. The used data were records on Holstein cows collected during January 2003 to December 2012 by the Animal Breeding Center of Iran (Karaj, Iran). In order to describe the lactation curve, an incomplete gamma function was fitted to 691200 test-day records on 962...
