Selection of a mathematical model to describe the lactation curves of Jersey cattle

Abstract: The extent of the usefulness of a lactation model depends on how well it succeeds in imitating the biological lactation process and how well it adjust for environmental and other factors that could influence production. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare five different lactation curve models (Wood, Cobby and Le Du, Wilmink, Exponential and Parabolic Exponential model), and to find the best model that provided a good description of the lactation curve of Jersey cattle herd. Data used in this … Show more

“…It is used worldwide by animal scientists to describe the lactation curves in cattle and other farm animals (e.g. Cankaya et al 2011). The parameters of the Wood's function define the shape of the lactation curve and estimate the milk yield in a particular stage of lactation and thus the persistency index of lactation.…”

“…For this purpose we observe the optimal lactation curve resulting from the Wood model which is often referred to as the best model for a description of lactation (see, e.g., [4]). The optimal lactation curve from the Wood model is estimated from the real lactation yields.…”

“…Araştırma bulgusu yerli mandalarda yapılan bir araştırmada [11] belirlenen değerden yüksek, Jersey sığırlarda ilk yedi laktasyon için hesaplanan (13.13, 14.99, 16.37, 16.93, 16.89, 17.31, 16.62) değerlerden düşük bulunmuştur [24] . Wood modeli kullanılarak 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9. ve 10. laktasyonların da olan mandalarda [25] a parametresinin 29.92-49.23 arasında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir.…”
