The objective of this work was to calculate adjustment factors for milk and fat yield according to the cow age and calving season, for Holstein breeds herds from Minas Gerais State. The statistical analyses were made by means of mixed models, using Restricted Maximum Likelihood in an animal model. The fixed effects were herd-year, genetic composition and age classes-calving season, and as random effects of animal (cow, sire and dam) and error terms. Records used in the analysis were 49,666 […]
