Modelling the lactation curve of dairy cows using the differentials of growth functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Descriptions of entire lactations were investigated using six mathematical equations. comprising the differentials of four growth functions (logistic. Gompertz, Schumacher and Morgan) and two other equations (Wood and Dijkstra).

INTERPRETATION OF THE LACTATION CURVE [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 1926
The validity of the assumption of a substance determining the rate of milk secretion and undergoing monomolecular destruction, based on group behavior, is questioned on the evidence from a large number of individual lactation curves. It seems probable that the rate of decrease in the rate of milk secretion with advance in lactation is dependent upon ...

Assessing Lactation Curve Characteristics of Dairy Cows Managed under Contrasting Husbandry Practices and Stressful Environments in Tanzania

open access: yesWorld, 2022
The ability of smallholder dairy farming systems (SHDFS) to achieve desirable lactation-curve characteristics is constrained or reduced by environmental stresses.

Lactation Curves for First Lactation Egyptian Buffalo

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 1994
First lactation records of 1538 buffalo maintained at the Animal Production Research Institute farms in 1967 to 1990 were used to determine lactation curves for three lactation lengths: > 28 and < 150 d, > 149 d, and > or = 308 d, as well as all records. Daily milk yields were summed by 14-d intervals for analyses.

Fitting lactation curves in a Colombian Holstein herd using nonlinear models

open access: yesRevista Facultad Nacional de Agronomía Medellín, 2018
Statistical characterization of dairy cows lactation curves allows prediction of total milk yield from one or a few test-day records. The objectives were the characterization of milk production in a Colombian Holstein herd under tropical dairy production

Genetic Aspects of Lactation Curves

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 1981
Parameters of lactation curves were defined by a gamma-type function for 113,705 lactations from the California Dairy Herd Improvement Association. Heritabilities and genetic correlations were estimated from a mixed-model analysis of paternal half sisters for first, second, third, and later lactations.

A link function approach to model heterogeneity of residual variances over time in lactation curve analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Several studies with test-day models for the lactation curve show heterogeneity of residual variance over time. The most common approach is to divide the lactation length into subclasses, assuming homogeneity within these classes and heterogeneity ...
