EFFECTS OF MONTH AND YEAR OF CALVING ON 305-DAY MILK YIELD IN HOLSTEIN-FRIESIAN CATTLE IN NWFP, PAKISTAN

open access: yesPakistan Veterinary Journal, 2002
Data on production performance of 90 imported Dutch Holstein-Friesian cattle and their 127 Pakistani- born progeny from 1982 to 1991 were analyzed. The mean first lactation 305-day milk yield for imported and Pakistani-born cows was 3196.7 ± 66.36 and ...

Effects of pregnancy on daily milk yield of Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle

open access: yes, 2004
First, second and third lactation curves of 21,885 first lactation dairy cows were allowed to vary depending on the months in milk at which the cow became pregnant. The curves were modelled using a 4th degree polynomial of days in milk. In the models for

Impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms in leptin, leptin receptor, growth hormone receptor, and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1) gene loci on milk production, feed, and body energy traits of UK dairy cows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The impact of 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR), growth hormone receptor (GHR), and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1) gene loci on daily milk production, feed intake, and feed conversion, and weekly ...

Genetic evaluation of fertility using direct and correlated traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Poor fertility has become a major reason for involuntary culling of dairy cows in the United Kingdom. Calving interval (CI) and body condition score (BCS) are recorded, heritable, genetically correlated with each other, and could be used to extend the ...
