The purpose of the research was to assess changes in lactation activity cows and their impact on level reproduction, as well study fluctuations with respect genetic environmental factors. A sample 807 various ages formed for study. were kept a commercial farm Kharkiv region, Ukraine. Data from DairyPlan C21 software used It revealed that parameters Wood curve model significantly influenced by c...

The primary objectives of this research were to determine the dry period lengths that maximize production across adjacent lactations and also dry period length that maximizes lifetime yield. Effect of days dry (DD) after lactations 1 through 3 were determined separately for both adjacent lactation sums and lifetime yield. Field data, collected through the Dairy Herd Improvement Association, on ...

The objectives of our study were to propose a new definition for persistency of egg production and to develop a mathematical model to describe the egg production curve, one that includes a new measure for persistency, based on the proposed definition, for use as a selection criterion to improve total egg production. Persistency of egg production is an important determining factor for total egg ...

In a recent study, we observed that starch-rich diets used in mid lactation induced lower milk production persistency and higher body fat accumulation dairy ewes compared with goats. Because these species differences could be linked to hormonal mechanisms drive energy partitioning, the same experiment, explored evolution of metabolic status during test this hypothesis. Twenty mature Sarda 20 Sa...
