The effect of stage of lactation on daily milk yield, and milk fat and protein content in Tsigai and Improved Valachian ewes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tsigai and Improved Valachian are the most spread sheep breeds in Slovakia. Both are multi-purpose breeds (Krupová et al., 2009), well adapted to local climate and environment. Tsigai is one of the oldest native breeds in areas from 500 to 800 m above sea level, mostly in the semi-extensive production system (Krupová et al., 2009), while improved Valachian is mostly kept in mountains and foothill areas more than 800 m above sea level in the Abstract

Factors affecting milk yield and ewe’s lactation curves estimated with test-day models
Test-day records of purebred Tsigai, Improved Valachian and Lacaune ewes were analysed with a general linear model in order to investigate the effects of flock-test day, lactation number, days in milk, litter size and month of lambing. In total, 121 576 (Tsigai), 247 902 (Improved Valachian) and 2 196 (Lacaune) test-day records gathered over the period 1995–2005 were included in the analyses. A...

متن کاملEvaluation of Various Approaches in Prediction of Daily and Lactation Yields of Milk and Fat Using Statistical Models in Iranian Primiparous Holstein Dairy Cows
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...
