Deconstructing Milk Yield and Composition During Lactation Using Biologically Based Lactation Models [PDF]
A recently developed biological model of lactation described changes in daily milk yield throughout lactation as the result of 3 processes, secretory cell differentiation, cell death, and secretion rate per cell. This paper extends the model to describe the production of milk components (fat, protein, lactose, and water) throughout lactation by ...

Economic Weights for Genetic Improvement of Lactation Persistency and Milk Yield [PDF]
This study aimed to establish a criterion for measuring the relative weight of lactation persistency (the ratio of yield at 280 d in milk to peak yield) in restricted selection index for the improvement of net merit comprising 3-parity total yield and total lactation persistency. The restricted selection index was compared with selection based on first-

Dynamics of correlation coefficients of economic and productive characteristics depending on the age of cows [PDF]
In 2002, a new Ural type of black-and-white breed was officially registered. Animals of this type have high productivity indicators, but at the same time there is a decrease in the productive longevity of the breeding stock.

Effects of ecotrofin™ on milk yield, milk quality and serum biochemistry in lactating goats [PDF]
AbstractA nutritional supplement (Ecotrofin™, by Vetoquinol Italia S.r.l) recommended in ruminants feeding to strengthen the physiological condition and improve digestive performance was tested in 20 pluriparae grazing goats divided in two groups (control and treated) to assess its possible effects on milk yield and quality and to assess eventual ...

Variation in Lactation Yield of Milk Constituents
Abstract The lactation production of milk, milk fat, solids-not-fat (SNF), and total solids from cows of six breeds in seven Midwest states was used to investigate gross environmental effects on these traits and to consider correlated responses due to selection for a single trait.
