Environmental factors influencing milk yield and lactation length in Italian Mediterranean buffaloes in Turkiye [PDF]
This preliminary study was conducted to investigate the impact of the fixed effects of calving season, parity, calving age and service period, on the annual average milk yield and lactation length of the Italian Mediterra-nean Buffaloes that were milked ...

Effect of dry period length on reproduction during the subsequent lactation [PDF]
Days dry may influence reproductive measures such as days to first postpartum ovulation, days open, and pregnancy per artificial insemination (AI). Holstein cows (n = 781) from an approximately 3,000-cow commercial dairy operation were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatments with different targeted dry period (DP) lengths.

Influence of Length of Dry Period on subsequent Lactation in the Rat
Abstract Rats given a four-day dry period produced approximately 28 (P 0.05) heavier litters between Days 8 and 16 of lactation than rats given zero-day or longer (8, 12, or 16 days) dry periods, respectively. On the first day of lactation mammary glands of rats given an eight- or zero-day dry period contained 14 ...

Effect of Dry Period Length on Milk Production in Subsequent Lactation
The effect of planned dry period lengths of 4, 7, and 10 wk on subsequent lactational yield was estimated with 366 cows in an experiment in which dry period was manipulated independently of milk yield prior to drying off. In two herds, all three treatments were compared within herd; in six herds, two treatments were compared within herd.
