Estimation of 305-day milk yield from test-day records of Chinese Holstein cattle
This study compared six models, namely the Gaines, Sikka, Nelder, Wood, Dhanoa and Hayashi models, for the estimation of 305 days milk yield in Chinese Holstein cattle. We compared their ability to reliably predict 305-day lactation yield from incomplete
