The traits of the haircoat (haircoat thickness, average hair lenght with respect skin surface, number of hair per unit area, hair mass density, hair angle and average hair diameter) were estimated in 973 Holstein cattle in the period between November 2000 and April of 2001. These traits were measured in an area 20cm below the dorsal line in the center of the thorax, for the black as for the white haircoat. Hair samplings were performed with adapted pliers. The method […]

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of year of calving (YC), season of calving (SC), genetic group (GG), calf sex (SEX), reason for drying-off (RD), cow age at calving (AGE, in months), lactation length (LL, in days) and sire (SIRE) on milk yield (MY) in a Holstein breed herd. A total of 684 observations, from 267 cows raised in a physical models of dairy cattle production system maintained at Embrapa – Centro de Pesquisa de Pecuária […]
