Characteristics of Lactation Curves of the Kenya Alpine Dairy Goats in Smallholder Farms
Lactation curves are a graphical representation of the milk production profile of a doe from parturition to drying up. Their shape provides information about the productivity of the doe and offers a means of explaining features of the milk production patterns of each animal. A total of 2732 daily morning milk records from 610 does of the Kenyan Alpine dairy goats’ genetic groups (50% Alpine, 75...
متن کاملThe effect of diets on milk production and composition, and on lactation curves in pastured dairy goats.
A 2-yr study investigated effects of different levels of concentrate supplementation on milk production, composition, and lactation curves in pastured dairy goats. For both years, 44 Alpine goats (Capra hircus; 55 +/- 11 kg body weight) were randomly allocated to 4 groups. Animals were supplemented with 0.66 (treatments A and B), 0.33 (treatment C), or 0 kg of concentrate (treatment D) per kg o...
متن کاملDerivation of standard lactation curves for South African dairy cows
Standard Lactation Curves were derived for South African Holstein and Jersey cows, using 20 herd-, 18 ageand six season classes. Six herd classes were below and 13 above the average production level for both breeds. A standard lactation curve was estimated for each combination of herd-, ageand season class, which resulted in 2 160 curves per trait per breed. Variation in Holstein yields was muc...
متن کاملOn the analysis of Canadian Holstein dairy cow lactation curves using standard growth functions.
Six classical growth functions (monomolecular, Schumacher, Gompertz, logistic, Richards, and Morgan) were fitted to individual and average (by parity) cumulative milk production curves of Canadian Holstein dairy cows. The data analyzed consisted of approximately 91,000 daily milk yield records corresponding to 122 first, 99 second, and 92 third parity individual lactation curves. The functions ...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of subclinical mastitis in early lactation in dairy goats.
The objectives of the study were to define the sensitivity and specificity of the California Mastitis Test (CMT) in determining the presence of intramammary infection in postpartum dairy goats and to determine whether antibiotic therapy increased bacteriological cure rate and lowered somatic cell count (SCC) compared with untreated controls. A CMT was performed and milk samples were collected f...
