Comparison of 2 types of milk flow meters for detecting bimodality in dairy cows
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 : The primary objective of this observational study was to investigate whether incremental milk flow rates (in the 0–15 s, 15–30 s, 30–60 s, and 60–120 s intervals) from electronic on-farm milk flow meters can be used to detect bimodal milk flow curves ...

PREDICTION OF LACTATION YIELD FROM LAST-RECORD DAY AND AVERAGE DAILY YIELD IN NILI-RAVI BUFFALOES [PDF]
Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2005 Different adjustment procedures were compared to determine if prediction of lactation milk yield using last record day information could be improved by using information on the average daily milk yield of the recorded lactation. Weekly milk yield records
