The mathematical representation of milk production against time represents one of the most
successful applications of mathematical modeling in agriculture. Models provide summary …

Cow's milk is a highly-nutritious dairy product part of human diet worldwide. Rumen-
protected methionine (RPM) is widely used to improve lactation performance of dairy cows …

Six classical growth functions (monomolecular, Schumacher, Gompertz, logistic, Richards,
and Morgan) were fitted to individual and average (by parity) cumulative milk production …

ABSTRACT A 1-yr calving interval (CInt) is usually associated with maximized milk output,

We fit the Wood's lactation model to an extensive database of test-day milk production
records of US Holstein cows to obtain lactation-specific parameter estimates and …

Milk recording data collected in 2,128 dairy herds in England and Wales between 2004 and
2006 were used to predict the calving to conception intervals. The average cumulative milk …

We study the effect of nutritional diet characteristics on the lactating Holstein–Friesian dairy
cows in Brittany, France from 36 individuals. An analysis of the relations between fat/protein …
