Prediction of 305-day milk yield in Brown Swiss cattle using artificial neural networks
________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been shown to be a powerful tool for system modelling in a wide range of applications. In this paper, we focus on the capability of ANNs to predict 305-d milk yield in early lactation of Brown Swiss cattle, based on a few test-day records, and some environmental facto...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic parameters of weekly test-day milk yields and first lactation 305-day milk yield in Murrah buffaloes
Aim: The aim was to estimate genetic parameters of weekly test-day (TD) milk yields and first lactation 305-day milk yield (FL305DY) in Murrah buffaloes. Materials and Methods: The data on 39059 weekly test-day milk yield (WTDY) records during first lactation of 961 Murrah buffaloes calved from 1977 to 2012 and sired by 101 bulls maintained in an organized farm at National Dairy Research Instit...
متن کاملThe relation between breeding management and 305-day milk production, determined via principal components regression and partial least squares
A field study was set up to investigate the relation between breeding management and 305-day milk production. Second goal of the study was to investigate advantages and disadvantages of principal components regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) for livestock management research. Multicollinearity was present in the data set and the number of variables was high compared to the number ...
متن کاملPrediction of daily milk, fat, and protein production by a random regression test-day model.
Test-day genetic evaluation models have many advantages compared with those based on 305-d lactations; however, the possible use of test-day model (TDM) results for herd management purposes has not been emphasized. The aim of this paper was to study the ability of a TDM to predict production for the next test day and for the entire lactation. Predictions of future production and detection of ou...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
