Characterization of the lactation curve of f1 Holstein-Zebu cows

open access: yesEcosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios, 2018
The objective was to nd a function to describe the lactation curve of grazing Holstein - Zebu cows (n=23) in tropical México. Twelve were based on the general nonlinear function A*Φ1(x)*Φ2(x): A, a positive scalar; Φ1 , a positive monotonically ...
