Milk yield and composition data from 7 nursing Lusitano mares (450 to 580 kg of body weight and 2 to 9 parities) were used in this study (5 measurements per mare for milk yield and 8 measurements for composition). Wood's lactation model was used to describe milk fat, protein, and lactose lactation curves. Mean values for the concentration of major milk components across the lactation period (18...

data related to holstein dairy cattle from 1987 to 2004 were obtained from animal breeding center of iran to estimate the genetic and phenotypic trends. variance components and genetic parameters of the first lactation records were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood method and aireml algorithm through matvec program. animal breeding values were predicted through multiple-trait animal...

Currently, the food problem occupies an important place among global problems of mankind. Despite a slight increase in production, level nutrition population is not reaching optimal levels. This especially true for Russia. One ways to solve this development agriculture, particular animal husbandry. Over five analyzed years, there has been milk production cows all ages. Milk yield, fat and prote...

a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in order to study the effects of tuber size, nitrogen fertilizer and harvest date on yield and yield components of potato. this experiment was conducted in a grower’s farm in uraki village located in chabahar city, in 2011. in this experiment, the treatments were two levels of tuber size (...

Many governments have signed up to greenhouse gas emission (GHGE) reduction programmes under their national climate change obligations. Recently, it has been suggested that the use of extended lactations in dairy herds could result in reduced GHGE. Dairy GHGE were modelled on a national basis and the model was used to compare emissions from lactations of three different lengths (305, 370 and 44...

The effect of supplementing the diet of grazing dairy cows with fish oil (FO) and linseed oil (LSO) on milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) was investigated. Sixteen Holstein cows (170±19 DIM) were assigned into two groups and fed a grain supplement (8.0 kg/d; DM basis) containing 800 g of saturated animal fat (CONT) or 200 g FO and 600 g LSO (FOLSO). All cows grazed together on Sudan grass past...
