Analysis of the First Lactation Curve in Holstein Cows with Different Mathematical Models
Abstract
The shape of the lactation curve of cows as well
as the total or 305 day milk yield is considered as an important criterion in
the livestock farms. Five different mathematical models, used in defining
lactation curves were used in this study to fit first lactation curves of
Holstein cattle. Total of 4472 weekly average milk yield of the first lactation
of 104 cows between 2001-2008 years, was used for this aim. The models used in
the study were: Wood; Morgan; Gompertz; Ali and Schaeffer and Dijkstra. The
models' fit to the lactation curve has been examined and compared. Lactation
curves also have been investigated according to the lactation years. The R2, R2adj,
AIC, BIC and MAPE values were used in the comparison of the models. The lowest
AIC (-3.29), BIC (-3.12) and MAPE (0.55) and highest R2 (0.99) and R2adj
(0.99) values were found for the Ali and Schaeffer model. This model was
followed by the Dijkstra model. As a result of the study, it was determined
that the most suitable models for predicting the first lactation milk yield
curves and curves features like maximum milk yield and days in milk to peak
yield of Holstein cattle were Ali and Schaeffer and Dijkstra models.
