More milking days with lower yields : sustainability impacts of short or no dry periods in dairy cows

“…We detected no interaction between dry period length and lactation potential, and the interaction term was removed from the model to explain 305-d yield (Table 3) Van Knegsel, 2014), the farmers in this study indicated that few cows dry themselves off, which might partly explain the difference in milk losses. to 1176 kg milk per cow for no dry period in primiparous cows (Annen et al, 2004;Watters et al, 2008;Santschi et al, 2011b;Steeneveld et al, 2013;Van Knegsel et al, 2014b).…”
