Impact of Early Lactation Somatic Cell Count in Heifers on Milk Yield Over the First Lactation [PDF]
The objective of this study was to estimate the impact of somatic cell count (SCC) in early lactation (SCCel) [measured between 5 to 14 d in milk (DIM)] of dairy heifers on test-day milk yield (MY) during the first lactation. In total, 117,496 four-weekly test-day records of 14,243 heifers were used.

Linking first lactation survival to milk yield and components and lactation persistency in Tunisian Holstein cows [PDF]
Abstract. Genetic parameters were estimated for first lactation survival defined as a binary trait (alive or dead to second calving) and the curve shape traits of milk yield, fat and protein percentages using information from 25 981 primiparous Tunisian Holsteins. For each trait, shape curves (i.e.

Effect of Age at First Calving on First Lactation Milk Yield, Lifetime Milk Production And Longevity of Cows [PDF]
Abstract The objective of the study was to analyse the effect of age at first calving (AFC) on first lactation milk yield, lifetime milk production and longevity of dairy cows. The study used SYMLEK data on the milk yield and culling of 111 857 Polish Holstein-Friesian cows from the active population in Pomerania and Kujawy, Poland ...
