Days-Open Adjusted, Annualized, and Fat-Corrected Yields as Alternatives to Mature-Equivalent Records

Altitude-Adjusted Corrected Geomagnetic Coordinates: Definition and Functional Approximations

Analysis of the functional approximations used to transform between geographic and Altitude-Adjusted Corrected Geomagnetic (AACGM) coordinates reveals that errors of >50 km can occur in the auroral and polar regions. These errors are the result of efforts to better approximate AACGM coordinates near the magnetic equator and the South Atlantic Anomaly. In these regions AACGM coordinates are not ...

Use of early lactation days open records for genetic evaluation of cow fertility.

National genetic evaluations for cow fertility were introduced by the USDA in February, 2003. These evaluations, reported as daughter pregnancy rate, are based on days open. One requirement of the evaluation system is that lactations be at least 250 d in milk (DIM) to be included for analysis. The objective of this research was to develop a predictor of days open, usable in genetic evaluation, ...
