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...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of milking frequency (two times daily vs. three times daily) on the 305-d lactation milk, fat and protein yield and fat and protein percentage of Holstein dairy cows in Morocco. Data analyzed were 31400 records collected between 2009 and 2016 on 14272 cows raised in 194 herds. The frequency of milking had significant effects (P<...

in this research, in order to describe milk production traits lactation mahabadi goat breed, seven statistical functions were fitted using 1665 milk production traits records and 833 body weight records. the milk production traits were milk yield, fat percent, fat yield, protein percent, protein yield, lactose percent and snf percent. these records have been recorded on 123 goats during years o...

An experiment was conducted in early lactating buffaloes for the period of 3 months in Jadakheria and Polisimal village of LimkhedaTaluka in Dahod district of Gujarat to assess the effect of supplementation of bypass fat on milk production, composition, body weight change and economic efficiency. Forty buffaloes in their 2nd and 3rd lactation were equally divided in completely randomized design...

the objective fllowed in the present study was to evaluate the effects of different milkingfrequencies on milk production and on blood metabolites in holstein cows. sixty-six fresh holsteincows were allocated to two treatments namely: 4 (4x) vs. 6 times (6x) of daily milking, during the first3 months of lactation, and then switching on to a three times of daily milking until end of the lactatio...

Daily milk, fat and protein yield and amount of somatic cells in cow milk are very important factors that influence milk performance traits. An association between polymorphisms in the kappa casein (CSN3) gene and milk production, composition and technical properties has been previously reported; however, this type of information is not available for the bovine β-carotene oxygenase 2 (BCO2) gen...

The effects of fat supplementation and weaning system on commercial milk yield and milk composition were determined on 129 East Friesian crossbred ewes. Prior to lambing, ewes were randomly assigned to one of two weaning systems. The DY1 system involved weaning of ewes from their lambs within 24 to 36 hr post-partum and then twice-daily machine milking. In the MIX system, ewes had access to the...

The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters of milk production traits in the first and second lactations of Romanian Simmental dairy cattle. For the estimation of variance, heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations among milk yield, fat yield, protein yield, and percentages of fat and protein, 3400 first and second lactation records over a period of fi...
