Genetic analysis of first dry period and lifetime performance in Hariana cattle
The present study was aimed to study lifetime milk production of Hariana cattle in organized farms. The nongenetic factors such as period of calving/birth, season of calving/birth, AFC age group and farms on these traits were studied by least-squares ...

Genetic parameters of milk and lactation curve traits of dairy cattle from research farms in Thailand [PDF]
Objective This study was aimed to estimate the genetic parameters, including genetic and phenotypic correlations, of milk yield, lactation curve traits and milk composition of Thai dairy cattle from three government research farms. Methods The data of 25,

Age at first calving and lifetime performance of Hariana cattle at organized farms
The present investigation was undertaken to access age at first calving, actual lifetime milk yield per day of productive life, actual lifetime milk yield per day of herd life and actual lifetime milk yield per day of total life. The non-genetic factors

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.

Decreased milk yield is associated with delayed milk ejection [PDF]
To determine whether individual cow milking vacuum (within the short milk tube and the liner mouthpiece) could be substituted for milk flow technology to identify delayed (bimodal) milk ejection, and the possible relationship between bimodal milk flow and milk yield, we recorded milking data from 663 Holstein cows on a 3,600-cow Michigan dairy that ...
